I joined the Bronze Award. At the time I found it such a challenge that I hated it but don’t like to give up on something I started.

On Reflection it gave me a love of our countryside, community and commonwealth.

He and my Grandfather had so many similar characteristics and I found him very endearing. The way he protected his family, the support shown to his family were under estimated by many.

I know he will be at peace, he will be with his Sister and her family until he can be reunited with the love of his life.

I just wish I could express my thoughts better.
