Dear friends and people that we love,

Yesterday, Laurie made it home from hospital. She hated hospital. She loved being surrounded by her girls and her cats and her puppies. She wanted to go online and see those she had missed for so long, but didn't quite feel up to it. Still, being home was a massive relief.

After a long battle with pain and illness, our darling Laurie was granted another relief yesterday. Her incredible, strong, brave, beautiful heart was finally allowed to beat its last. She died peacefully and her final words were of those she loved.

I have no words to tell you of my heartbreak. She was my life, she and our little princess. I loved her fierce and strong.

If there is any consolation it is that at last, the pain is gone. Her body and her mind are healed. She is once more in the arms of our beautiful princess.

At last, when she looks at herself, she sees what I saw every moment. She sees someone worth loving and living for.

I love you Laurie. Please, take care of me until I can come and join you properly, where there is no fear, no barriers and no sickness.

With all my love,

Your Di
