"Hey beautiful, I'm sorry I had to put you through all this darling. I'm truly sorry.

Just thought I'll leave you with a last few words.

All I wanna say is how much I loved you, and cared for you.

You are the apple of my eye, and I will be watching over you always.

Mary-Jane, Ian, Tom, Craig, Lee, thank you all for accepting me in to be able to care for your daughter/sister.

I will not forget how nice you have been to me!

Bet now my bloody lottery numbers will come up! Ha ha.

Jane I hope you have a wonderful and fulfilling life! Get married, have children, etc!

I will love you forever and will see you again when you're old and wrinkly!

I have told my parents to leave you some money out of my insurance so have fun bbz!

Ok...gonna go now beautiful.

Love you forever.
