Dear Gav and Maz, and family,

What an amazing example of a family you all are. The journey you have been on would have bowled most of over in a couple months, you have given us strength and shown us courage that is beyond description, a Larkin to the core Gav, you picked up the baton when Baz let it go, you dealt with grief and loss after his death by looking into yourself and gaining a lot more insight than he had in many ways . Tom wrote to our us saying that he would take a part of us with him and that there would always be a part of him that stays within all of us. I know now that is true . I know I am angry, I dont feel it's ok that you all have had to deal with so much, however I also know you have given us all a part of yourself that nothing can take away. I have said from the beginning of this journey that it's too hard and too painful to imagine what its been like for Maz and yourself and your children, and your extended family,I feel inadequate in expressing how you have all shown such courage and unity, and love. Maz you are are champion, not only as Gavs partner and Mother to the kids , but also in your genuineness, and warmth .You make any room light up when when enter. I am so sad.

We send lots and lots love to you all- Penny and Leon xxxxxx
