Dearest Anna and Paul's family, Our association goes way back to St Peter's Primary School Cambridge days - mum (Isabel Adams) taught there, and had a long association with Bob, Olga and your family. I was so saddened to read this news, and my heart goes out to you Anna - with the sudden loss of your big brother. Maybe our paths will cross again one day, as it has over the past few years - but if not, I hope it helps you to know that there are others out there thinking of you. Rest in peace Paul - and love to your family, especially Anna.
