Dear Pat and family, thank you for the lovely card you sent me, it was my absolute pleasure to help you say goodbye to Stan, to read all the tributes and especially the poem that Stan himself wrote. It was an honour. My thoughts are with you all as you navigate the next few months without him. With much love, Alison Kirkham x

Thank you for signing me up to Unicef and Padditon postcards. I love receiving padditon postcards from children all around the the world. I am happy we are helping them . Thank you for being the best Gandpop ever and I also want to thank you about the songs you sang to me. I will never forget you. Love from Sebastian.

Dear Stan, I will always remember you as a warm and charming man. You were very kind and pleasant to be around. You always made me feel welcome and a part of the family. I loved your intelligence and knowledge on so many different things, you were like a walking encyclopaedia! You made me laugh as well as smile so many times. I will miss you so much. I am saddened that Sebastian will not get to have more years with his Grandpop and share your wisdom and charm. We will certainly keep your memory alive by reflecting back on the times Sebastian shared with his Grandpop with Photos, Video’s and with the special and thoughtful gifts both You and Pat have given Sebastian. Thank you Stan for being so kind, warm and caring. We love you so much and will miss you greatly. Lorraine❤
