Toots Thanks for my butterfly!!
Grateful it's such a shame when we lose a little hairy person from our family isn't it. They are such a big part of our lives, but you can at least take comfort from the fact that you have done the very best for her right up to and including the hardest decision of all. The best tribute to her now is that you think of her and smile.....even through the tears. Thinking of you. xx🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
