I will always miss you Barry. You were such full of light, even in the darkest times & when life dealt you a hand of 2’s & 7’s, you acted as if you were dealt pocket aces.
I am beyond amazed how much of a fighter you were, the way you fought everything head on has honestly given me strength in life to know I can do the same.
You’re an inspiration to many, certainly my inspiration for all the courage you showed.
Your beloved Leeds may be on a bad patch right now but I’ll be rooting for them to stay up & do you proud. I’m so happy you got to see them in the prem again after all those down years.
Today will be tough but will be a great send off for an even greater man.
Love & miss you Barry, I’m honoured to carry your coffin today & will promise to do you proud in all I do.
Until we meet again. X
