Dear Thea & to All My Cousins Words cannot express how we are all feeling at this very sad time and I’m devastated that Theo Soli has left us although I am beginning to accept that Theo left to go to a better place where he has found peace and serenity and I would just like to say a few words to you Theo and tell you the things I didn’t get the chance to say to you in this life.... Theo you suffered very much especially over the last year and it broke my heart seeing you in so much pain everyday but I also felt extremely proud of you as I quietly watched you find the inner strength and determination to carry on as best you could for the sake of your family and loved ones and even though you may have found some days much more difficult to bear than others, you still managed to crack a dry joke, which always made me smile. Theo you were a very kind and generous man and you loved my Mum, your little sister, very much and showed this love to her by including her in your life and inviting her on days out and on the holidays you and Thea had - I used to tease you all and call you the 3 Musketeers! Sadly I never got the chance to say “thank you”, so thank you for being there and looking after my Mum and making her feel like a special and spoilt baby sister. I will be forever grateful to you for making her life fun too as I know she really looked forward to the trips and holidays with her big brother and my lovely Thea, her sister in law. I’m also glad Mum and I were fortunate enough to go to Greece for Christina & Gee’s wedding and I will cherish the special time we spent with you and Thea forever and when I get sad, I will reminisce about the good times we had and remember when my cousins and I were still kids bouncing around on our Jumbos – that was the best present ever! Theo, you have a wonderful family and all of your children have something that reminds me of you in them so you live on through them. You will be greatly missed by us all and now that I’ve grown up and got to know you properly in my adult life, I realised why you were a man of few words because your few words were wise and straight to the point. Goodbye Theo Love Always your Niece Despo, P.S. I’m going to miss watching the quiz shows with you!
