Coleen, when I moved a few doors along the road from you in 1980, we quickly became inseparable. Your house was my house, my house was your house. Our teenage years were a blast, we had a great circle of friends with the ‘quines fae fitehills’. I think a good description would be hallyracket!
The 2 of us became 3 when my sister Sonia joined our close friendship, 3 became 6 when we married, 6 became 11 as we had our families. We then became The Watts, The Thomsons and The Gibson’s. We have shared so many life events, but probably the most precious was becoming Mums - I’ll treasure the memories for ever.
The shopping trips (fit can you buy for a pound) parties, picnics, bbq’s and holidays - they were always fun filled, you were the definition of life and soul of the party.
We’ve had fabulous trips to Dubai to visit you, Michael and Lauren. You always organised great things for us to do, but the best memories are days/nights in your garden- singing, dancing, laughing, Michael keeping us topped up with gin & cocktails.
Coleen, our favourite song in the early 80’s was Best Years of our Lives, you made sure every year was the best year of your life.
You will always be with us.
Keep on sparkling.
Love Janis & John
