With Us Always, On All Levels; Love you Forever. Rosi X O X
One Year Today, Since You Passed Away,
Though You're Always Here I Know.
In Higher Realms, You Now Abide,
And We All Miss You So.
I Say As Ever, You Said To Me,
"Take Care Doll, See You Soon".

Bryn Holland was my brother-in-law, but I couldn’t have loved him better if he had been my brother; we had known each other for over thirty years, and a more genuine likeable selfless man, one could not hope to meet; he was “Pure Gold”
Bryn was always available to give anyone a helping hand whatever form that took, with no thought for himself, and often at his own expense; his generosity knew no bounds.
Bryn was a huge personality, and the gap he has left will never be filled, and nor would we want it to be, for he was unique; loved by all who knew him.
Bryn was born in Glan Conwy, married Jackie in Conwy, and went on to live, work, and raise their family in the area, until his tragic untimely death on the 8th March, just one week after his 54th birthday, put him in the graveyard where his parents and grandparents were laid before him.
His legacy lives on through his children and grandchildren, who were fortunate indeed to have someone like Bryn in their lives; this sentiment is endorsed numerous times over by the many people whose lives he touched; this was borne out by the six hundred plus people who filled the Glan Conwy church and lined the village streets, in love and respect for this very special man, and emphasised by the tributes that are still flooding in, many from people to whom the written word does not come easily, but they have poured out their hearts on paper, and I foresee they will continue to do so for a long time to come.
It is said only the good die young; this is surely borne out by Bryn’s premature death, and all we can do now is to mourn his passing, whilst celebrating and honouring his unconditional loving and giving to both family, friends and community, the echoes of which will roll down the years for all time.
If there is a golf course and a bar where he now resides, he will be happy, and if you listen closely you may hear him say, “Have one on me, and enjoy yourselves!”
I will finish by saying to Bryn what he always said to me when parting company, “Take care Doll; see you soon”
Be at peace Bryn, for you have earned it.
All my Love Rosi X O X
I have seen today, an example of true love and respect rarely found on this earth.
I have seen the true goodness, love and loyalty, of hundreds of human beings toward one very special human, given unstintingly, selflessly and without counting the cost on any level, in any way.
The setting was at a funeral taking place in North Wales; the sight that beheld my eyes when I approached the church in this small Welsh village, was astounding in it's simplicity and "oneness".
It was the sight of over six hundred men, women, and children of all ages and stages, lining the streets in complete unity and unison, in perfect tune with themselves and each other, and with one accord; to honour a man who was special to them all in so many different ways.
It was humbling in the extreme.
This surely proves that there is indeed, One God, One Universe, One Voice, and Universal Respect for each other, way beyond the physical level within which we live on this earth.
I honour each and every one of those people.
