We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! Lots of post was sent to our children, and our Elf and Reindeer schemes were a big hit with Pals and siblings. They were thrilled that Father Christmas’ reindeer were writing to them and of course, with the Elf scheme, what child wouldn’t be over the moon with a big pile of gifts! On the subject of gifts Georgies Fund sent lots of wonderful toys to some of our families, including a giant Scalextrics kit to Mollie’s family, a Robosapien V2 to Louis and a big baby monkey to Anna Mae – it was her favourite gift this Christmas.

Onto some sad news;

Nikita passed away on Christmas Eve 2006. Right up until she passed away, she would text a family friend to ask if any Post Pal post had arrived – and there always was something, due to you all. Her funeral is on the 9th, she is going to be burried wrapped in her Post Pal quilt. Nikita’s favourite song was S Club’s “Never had a dream come true”, we will always remember her when we hear that song.

Nathan V passed away on November the 24th 2006. I don’t think we have ever had such a young pal grasp the concept of Post Pals so well. His mum had said how he would open his mail and “read” it out to her and Jessica, “To Nathan, get well soon, love people”. So thank you to all you “people” who took the time to brighten his day and remember him now he is no longer here.
