Being your keyworker throughout your time at Woodlands was an absolute honour. The laughs we shared, your beautiful smile and you being a true gentleman made my role one I shall treasure. Holding your hand whilst you took your last breath was a privilege. RIP Tom. You are missed already. Fly high and go find your beautiful Wife xx
