My lovely Colma. You were in my life since you called for the ambulance to take dear Mam to the maternity ward at Nether Edge. Almost 70 years of memories, too many to recount but all so sharp in my mind. If I could talk to you now, we'd laugh about Alices, chuffers, guinnesses, and knikkeos, and you'd tell me stories about Mam and Daddy, and being evacuated with Mida, and your first date with Jim, when he offered you some spice, (the Sheffield word for sweets.) I miss you so much. I promise to keep a watchful eye on your adored children, Mike, Louise, and Fringe, and your grandchildren who you loved beyond measure. Give Jim my love, and tell him I miss him too. Good bye my sweet sister. All my love, Celia, and bunny ears from Steve.xx
