A Sad Farewell

Oct 16, 2012 | Life

After the funeral for an aunt who meant a lot to my family, I wrote about my year without beer and the races ahead, the Great South Run and The Grim Original.

Today was the funeral for my Auntie June, who sadly passed away last week. My Dad’s older sister, Auntie June has always been central to my family and one of the cornerstones of my life. She was a true role model for the things that matter most in life: love, happiness, family and friends. Auntie June will be missed by all who knew her, now she is reunited her beloved grandson Adam.

In 2012 I was raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and Cancer Research UK.
