“You had the biggest heart and took care of everybody around you. You will never know just how much you are loved by family and friends, and you will always be our Uncle Alfie.
“We love you so much. Nothing will ever be the same without you.
“You will shine in the sky, as bright as you did in all our lives. I love you more than words can say, and you will always be with us forever."
