"I miss you my friend, you left us so suddenly, leaving lives empty, a void you have left, memories recalling, but with sadness and sullenly"

"I miss your 4am wakening thuds at my door, 'what are you doing asleep, there is so much more to do!'..you would roar"

"You were best man at my wedding, that's how close we were..always joking and laughing, mayhem you would cause, a mischief maker and prankster, you caused quite a stir"

"Remember when we were in Cyprus, we roamed the market stalls where live stock were sold, you would unlock the chicken pens which caused a riot, so funny and so bold"

"I am writng this for you as your friend, in memory and anniversary, you are in my thoughts, your friends and family remember you..no adversary's"

"I wish you were still here, close and among us..but I'm sure your in a better place watching over and above us"

"I have a tight hug waiting for you, a bonded handshake which is long overdue.....Until that day comes my friend I'll remember you strongly, with a mixture of joy and sadness, family and friends will raise a glass or two and celebrate your life, remembering you fondly"
