Dear Donna, the first time I met you I thought, wow she's scary! I don't wanna get on the wrong side of her! (Which as you can imagine was much to the amusement of nichola!) But I soon realised that I was on the safe side (phew!!!) And you just enjoyed taking the mick out of me! Haha (yeah, I said mick... The kids are gonna read this). You very much enjoyed my amusing story's of misfortune and bimbo moments (which there were plenty of!) So I was glad to have the opportunity to share more of these with you a few weeks ago and watch you laugh (at me!) Again : D A memory that always stands out to me is when we went out to a social club one night, and nic got so drunk we practically had to carry her home! You was a caring big sister and decided to stay the night, sleeping beside her to make sure she was okay, while I sat in the bed in the next room eating crisps and dips! It wasn't until the next day that you gently (yeah right!) Told me I had kept you awake all night munching! Haha You always spoke your mind (in fact, I was surprised you didn't tell me to shut up that night!) Which I admired about you, strong, inspiring and very funny! And I'm glad that I got to know you well enough to see past that tough exterior too :-) I saw how much you loved and cared about your family and friends and what an amazing job you done bringing up 2 bright beautiful daughters who are a joy to know, and are full of your sense of humour, character and strengh. I know that you will be with them and a part of them through every step of their lives. I didn't see you all the time, but I will miss you donna, as will so many,. but our fond memories of you will live on in our heads and hearts always. Love and kissed from steph (bimbo) xxxxx
