  12. Cy was the most amazing, unapologetically himself human I have ever met. He was my rock, my best friend, the first and only man I’ve ever loved, a wonderful father to our beautiful kids, Cole and Jordan and a loyal friend and loving son and brother. 
    He has made such an enormous mark on this life, he made an impact on everyone he met and has left a void in our hearts that will never be filled. 
    Life seems totally unfair and I usually try to see the silver lining and find some form of positive in bad situations but this just feels cruel, unfair and there is no silver lining to his passing. 
    Cy you made my life better, you made me better and I am honoured to call you my partner, my soul mate the father of my children and ultimately, my best and closest friend!

    Thank you for always standing by my side and believing in me, even when no one else did. Thank you for pushing me to be a better mother, friend and person. 

    I will cherish our devoted and unwavering love that we had for one another, the unbreakable bond we shared through a partnership and friendship I couldn’t ever have dreamt of having with another human being and I will hold close to my heart the beautiful life we created together.
    Forever and always.
     
    I promise I will raise your children to know and remember the wonderful, caring, hard working, opinionated, kind, pure hearted and loyal man that you were and to always encourage them to follow their dreams and give everything a go, just as you always did. 
    I love you Cy. And I miss you more than I could ever explain. 
    You always have and always will have my heart. 😢
