Mama Sue spoke from the heart when wishing Papa the happiest of birthdays. His love, devotion and humour has been her anchor in every storm she has weathered.
He has has followed her dream and helped to make it a reality.

It was a lovely party, with master of ceremonies Samson doing an excellent job, and another special day for Papa to store away in his memory box.
