To Rose, Deb, Darren, Ellesha and Nicole. I know the passing of Alex will be hard but know that friends and family will wrap themselves around you and be there for you always. He has fought his battle and it is now time to rest and look over you all keeping you safe and watching you continue on with your lives. I know the hurt and pain you are going through. Dad and Alex are probably up there chatting about you Deb, Darren and the girls and whitebaiting! And Rose I also know what you are going through, my love goes out to you and remember the good times and all those things that made him your special guy. Love and hugs to you guys.
