Sending best wishes to you and your loved ones today from us here at Heart of Kent Hospice. Christmastime for many can mean a time for joy and family, but it can be an incredibly painful time if bereaved. I hope that treasured memories of Fiona can offer you some comfort when times are hard.

I knew Fiona for almost 20yrs - having met her at Catford police station back in 2003. I quickly realised what a kind, caring and generous person she was and we instantly hit it off, becoming good friends. We had some fabulous and memorable times on holiday together - getting up to lots of mischief, some of our antics cannot be repeated - we made holiday pacts! Sometimes we wouldn't see each other for a while but that didn't matter because when we finally did meet we would chat and chat as if it were only days that had passed……not months. I remember her wedding to Steve….she looked so beautiful and happy. It was such a lovely day and I was so proud of her - it was an honour to be part of their special day. Such amazing memories to look back on. I will really miss my friend Fiona, she was surrounded by so much love and she will always be in my thoughts. Farewell my lovely friend……Farewell.

My Amazing journey started 20th September 2013. We started seeing each other to play Backgammon, but Fiona didn't take long to melt my heart and once I'd had my first Op on my leg, Fiona nursed me back to strength. There were many firsts during a relationship and marriage, I'd never been on a jet ski so on one of our many trips to Turkey we went down to the beach and hired two, I remember the guy asking if I'd ever been on one before, I said no but it would be OK as I was with my girlfriend, he look around and said who..... so I pointed to the dot on the horizon across Marmaris Bay. She even managed to get me eating rice, pasta, sweet potatoes and even carrots..... I have so many wonderful memories of our time together, it really was and action packed 9yrs (Nearly). Its without a doubt she would have gone throught the green lane with nothing to declare and she'd have sailed through...unlike us coming home from Lanzarote..... I love you Darling, our home is just a house now, it really does feel as if the heart has been ripped out of here. Till we meet again on the other side, I will raise a Strawberry Daiquiri for you darling. I love and miss you so so much. I know Cassius feels the same. xXx
