In
memory of Dave Williams
"He
was the best friend ever and when he died it changed my life completely.
It is so hard to explain when the one person you share everything with
dies. The one person you randomly call just to chat about rubbish, the
one person who makes you laugh when you are down, and that one person
who you can call your best friend." |
