My darling friend Ange, As you know from listening (very patiently) to my ramblings over the years, I believe the universe provides. It did on that day 14 years ago when choosing which NCT group to join, I picked our GX group which was the start of the most special and treasured of friendships..... we have been on such an amazing journey together growing our families and sharing so many wonderful experiences - our memory bank is truly brimming. Each of us brings a unique quality to the group and your legacy will remain with us all . Your strength and grace has been a huge inspiration... your effortless ability to deal with what life threw at you without a word of complaint and total dignity. Your passion for having fun - dancing and singing to ABBA, Your ability to swoop in and save the day at the end of a night out to work out the bill in a quiet calm manner. Your love of colour and elegance when choosing the latest fabulous outfit to wear to a party. Your tendency to live on the edge by packing for holiday after midnight on the day of departure.... (I have become a bit more Ange in this regard and will think of you always when doing my holiday packing !) Your considered thoughts when we were in need of support always contributed at exactly the right time..... And although we know you are no longer here with us physically we know that good friends are like stars...you don't always see them but you know they are always there....... You will be with us always Ange, in our hearts, our memories and in spirit.... for now sweetie love love ... farewell.....X
