Said goodbye to Sid for you

Hi Sis,

Yesterday saw the Tribe gather at Vinters Park to mark the passing of Sid. As you would have expected it was well attended. It went as well as can be expected the passing has not hit Tony and the Girls as hard as when they lost you. Mavis has been a rock for all to lean on.

I hope that the next time I take out my Dark Suit from the wardrobe it will be to mark a happier occasion when I will be able to dance.

Another joins those who will not age

Hi Sis,

Last night Sid passed away after a heart attack, since you had passed he has continued to struggle with his health and after a short illness he finally left.

As you can imagine Tony has been hit by the loss of his Dad but once again we pull together and will do what we can to share the pain. I saw Sid and Mavis last on Christmas Eve and he was on form. Although he was unwell he did not complain and asked about how others were doing and only complained about those in the family that were letting the side down.

Becky has again found it hard to deal with the passing of another close family member. We will support her and she will cope.

Talk soon.
