Denise,
you came into my life on a sunny holiday in Egypt and stayed there ever since. Distance never mattered—Southport to Coventry—because friendship like yours doesn’t fade with miles. We shared weekends, laughter, and memories I’ll always treasure, especially that special time in Gozo with your family.
You had a warmth that made everyone feel at home, a gentle, motherly way, and that wonderfully dry sense of humour that could catch you off guard and make you smile all the more.
Though dementia may have quietened our conversations in recent years, it never touched the place you hold in my heart. I will miss you deeply, but I will always remember you as you were—welcoming, kind, and quietly funny.
Thank you for your friendship, Denise. You will never be forgotten.
Your forever friend Magdalena xxxx
