Thank you to everyone who still remembers my dear daughter. Thank you to Bob Huntbach and his police team for bringing Duncan Bermingham to justice. He is still in prison and I dearly hope he remains so. The devastation he caused to our family is difficult to put into words so I won’t try. Don’t Look Back in Anger tugs at my heartstrings too. Love and miss you so much Rachel.

I think of you so often and talk to my kids about you. It’s been almost 30 years and j still can’t listen to Oasis “don’t look back in anger” without crying. It was played at your memorial service. You were such an amazing friend and made my high school years joyful and fun. Love you x
