I’ve spent hours and hours trying to figure out what to say. I’m waiting and willing for you to walk through the door (probably 4 pints down). 

The last ten years have been the best of my life and a large part of that is down to you. I cannot begin to imagine the next ten years without your enormous and incredible personality.

Thank you will never be enough to cover everything you have done for me over the years. One of my biggest fans and champions in every aspect of my life, whether that be in my education or career. Not to mention the immense emotional support you have been for me whenever I’ve needed it (often). It’s a cliche, but I can honestly say I don’t know where I would be or what my life would look life if you were not a big part of it. I know I helped you a lot too though with betting tips, fixing your coat zips, and finding numerous lost belongings for you.

I know your equally incredible family will get through this, because you’ve given them all of the tools and strength they need to support each other. They’re all a credit to you. I will be forever grateful to you for creating such incredible people, and leaving a part of you in Rob, Gemmy, and Rhi Rhi. 

I can’t talk about any particular memory I have with you, because there’s just too many to count. Pub crawls, rows about football and politics, festivals, holidays, drunken nights or even weekends that we can hardly remember, or sharing an interesting and boozy weekend in a triple room with you and Rob in the Ibis Budget. I’ll be shedding a lot of tears as I remember you, but there will also be a lot of laughter.

I don’t understand why this had to happen. We would all give anything for one last pint with you. To take the piss out of you one last time. One last hug. 

There’s so much I haven’t been able to say  yet, but I know you already know it all. 

I’ll forever be your ‘third daughter’ and best friend. In answer to your daily question ‘Do you know how much I love you Franny?’ I do, I have always known, and I’ll never forget. I love you too Gags an enormous amount, and always will.

Rest easy Gags, with your lovely Con Con.

Lots of love, always,
Your Franny Annie

P.S. I will make sure I carry on with my Gareth impersonations on a daily basis 😜
