“They say there is a reason, they say that time will heal, but neither time nor reason will change the way I feel. For no-one knows the heartache that lies behind our smiles. No-one knows how many times we have broken down and cried. We want to tell you something so there won’t be any doubt you’re so wonderful to think of but it’s so hard to be without. Love you bunches Jeremy Matthew – watch over us now and don’t ever forget how truly special you were to each and every one of us.”
