Dear Leila
Even though I only knew you for a short period of time, it was a privilege to care for you in your hour of need.
Our late nights chats about your family and the stories we shared will be treasured by myself for ever.
I know you will be happy now you are back with your beloved Graeme.
Sleep easy dear lady.
