Jane, you truly were my best friend. I have so many memories of you it is hard to have a clue where to start. I met you when I was a little girl and you worked on the deli in morrisons. Me being a huge cheese fan you used to give me lots of cheese to try. But the day you gave me blue cheese, I sprayed it across the store, I've never tasted anything so bad  and you just stood laughing at me. 

We grew and became friends and I always looked to you as my big sister. You even used to constantly joke that there were 15 years between me and you and 15 years between my mum and you. Meaning by rights you could be my mum and my Mum, my nan. One thing is for sure, you became my best friend.

You made me my first ever curry, you have picked me up when I have been broken, you have dropped everything and been there in a flash when I just needed a big sister. You really were the best. When my hair grew back in a tuft you shaved in for me, but you being you, had a play and left me with a fringe bit and nothing else, and we rolled up laughing. Then you hugged me and took that bit off too and we laughed some more.

Even when you broke your hip, you called me and we could not help but laugh. Sarah, I went to get up and something went clunk you said and you were stuck. I walked out of work in a flash and straight to you. Sure enough you were in the weirdest of positions but still laughing even though in pain. We rang the doctors and then the ambulance but not once were you not giggling.

You were one of the very first to hear me sing and encouraged my love of music. You also took my son under your wing in school, knowing the hell he was facing with bullies, you got him through.

We spoke daily and would laugh and joke. My phone is so quiet without you. I miss you and I love you with every bit of my heart. 

My biggest regret is, you told me when you came home this time you were ready for my window visit. I was going to bring my camping chair and we were going to practice my sign language and spend time together at the window. I stupidly said I would give it a few days due to the rain and also let you settle. For that, I am so sorry, I should of come and sat there, not waited.

Thank you for being like my sister, thank you for loving me, faults and all. Jane, you were one of a kind. My rock, sister from another, my bestie. Until we meet again my friend. Love Always.
