One of the advantages of writing your own column, is that you get to be able to do something like this:

Just nice to be able to pay tribute in this way.

Well done, beautiful tribute. She sure sounds like a wonderful lady. R.I.P Bobs mum. I seem to have something in my eye.

Any relation to Lester?...

Thanks All - it was nice to be able to use my column to be able to do this. And remembering the life, rather than mourning the passing, I think is so important.

And if it gets some of you calling up/appreciating your parents, then I have done more good work this day (quietly proud). They're not around forever, so make the most of them while they are still with us.
