From Catherine Rimer on 20/4/2006

To my brother in law - brave, funny and profound Chris, You really will "live on" in everyone who knew you, as the previous messages say so well.. Even during the last informal vigil we laughed as Liz read some of your many instructions from her silver notebook.. Thank god you could always talk, and flash your lovely smile, which you did even at the most ludicrous times, though I know life with MND wasn't funny any more. Thank you for your generosity of spirit, for making this awful illness so easy for everybody else, for the life lessons, and for sorting out every detail for Liz to follow through, as she continues to do so brilliantly. I feel very lucky to have known you and hope I too can 'live better' as a result of your inspiring example. With love and huge admiration, Catherine x
