90% of my event memories feature Simon. He was one of my favourite people - never not available for advice, gossip or just a meaningless chat. I know I'm just one of the countless people who will miss him dearly & remember him always. So sorry I can't be with you tomorrow & sending love to Jilly, Andrew & all those who hold Simon in their hearts.
Ms Lesley Maltman
