Birthday Memories

HOLLAND

HOLLAND GERARD Birthday memories of my  Brother and our uncle Gerard Holland, first away from  home. This first birthday  without him feels different.  Quieter. The space he once  filled so effortlessly now  carries an emptiness that  can never truly be filled.  And yet, in that space lives  love. We miss his voice, his  humour, his moaning, and  the comfort of knowing he  was only ever a phone call  away. We miss the simple  things most. The everyday  moments that never felt ex- traordinary at the time but  now mean everything. We  carry him in our hearts,  memories and in the stories  we tell. Happy Birthday Gerard. Not a day goes by that  you are not thought of,  missed, and loved beyond  words. Forever our brother.  Forever our uncle. Forever  in our hearts. From Danny  and  Tracy Petticrew and  kids Brónach (Lola), Danielle, Katie Belle, Michael  and all their partners and  kids. Xxx
