The obituary notice of Craig FARRELL

Hey Faz.

I miss you so much buddy. I might have spent the best part of the last 2 decades overseas but that never stopped us chatting as if we saw each other everyday whenever we could get on a video call.

I’m sorry I wasn’t so present in the last few weeks before you left us, I got so wrapped up in leaving China and escaping COVID that we didn't speak and I’m not sure how to deal with that. I can’t bring myself to delete the message I sent to you not knowing that you’d already got your wings and were looking down on Me, Laura and Harrison.

My brain can’t comprehend that it’s nearly 3 years and part of me hurts knowing that My H and your H won’t grow up getting to know each other like they should have.

Fly high my friend and keep smiling down on us.

Ryan

I cant believe a year has gone by since you left this world. Hope you are making everyone happy with your lovely smile
never forgotten how kind you were to me.

I haven’t been able to write anything down about this. Even now, it’s extremely difficult. Possibly because I just can’t understand it yet, or because I don’t want it to be true. I’m utterly heartbroken. When your best friend told me the news on the phone, I couldn’t breathe. It’s not fair.
We met as children on holiday, we stayed connected by pen, in person, on line and on the phone. We celebrated each other’s successes and were there for each other when times were sad or hard. I can still hear your voice, that accent. I’m so proud of the man you became, the father to darling Harry Jude, the friend, the uncle, the brother, nephew and son. I’m so happy to have shared part on my life with you. Your memory will stay alive in our home. My family and I send our deepest condolences to Craig’s family and friends- we send our love, prayers and strength.

Mr. Brightside played this week when I was thinking about you. That song always reminds me of you. That song always makes me smile and it will continue to do so. Love you babes ❤️

Although we weren’t together our love for each other remained. I will love and cherish our little boy twice as much and I promise you, I will make sure you live on in him every single day.
You were my soulmate Craig Farrell, and I will always love you (even more than red jelly tots).
Rest peacefully now, all my love forever and always

Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with heart and soul there is no such thing as separation.

Craig you were an amazing Father figure but also like a best friend. I always knew I could count on you and you would do anything for anyone. You had such an infectious smile and I couldn't help but laugh in your presence. I will miss you so much but treasure all the times we spent together and the memories we made. Sleep tight, Love you lots Molly (your fudge cake) XXXX


To My Daddy, I will miss you so so much. Sending all my kisses and cuddles up to you in heaven. Your little man Harry-Jude XXXX

So sorry to all your lovely family Craig I have nothing but amazing memories of you, my first love. Rest in peace. X
