Thoughts from the cards

Hey Ali,
here are some of the things people said on the many, many cards sent to Sauchie Street.

»We will all miss Alan very much – his jokes and his bright happy face. We all know how much Alan loved the family gatherings.«
Aunt Anna & Uncle David

»We will think of him and speak of him often, he will live on with us in our hearts.«
Ruby, Willie, Simon & Ross

»Alan will always remain that cheeky wee boy, often infuriating but almost always shining.«
Abby

»We all remember how Sarah, Alistair, Morag, Sharon and Alan played in the Grove and shared bonfire and Halloween nights. These were good and happy times for us all.«
Maureen

»He was a good friend and neighbour and we will miss him very much.«
Linda, Roddy & Bob

»I will always remember Alan as a bright and cheerful rascal who brought a smile and laugh to those around him with his fun and friendly manner.«
Alistair

»Alan was a great guy and a very good friend to my son Steven. Alan and you and your family will always be in our thoughts. Steven said he misses Alan's cooking. He said he made a mean Indian curry – something I thought Steven would never eat. They would have a curry and watch movies till the wee small hours. Steven misses that and he missed Alan when he moved back home.«
The Will family, Aberdeen

»We will remember Alan with affection as a warm and friendly, fun loving boy and man whose company we always enjoyed from the earliest birthday parties and school days to later years whenever we could manage a get together. Alexia and Helena have great memories of him as a good friend and, of course, Sharon's little brother!«
Christine, Alexia & Helena
