Tribute to Astley James

Miss V....that's what he calls me. He is such a nice fellow but people dont see his nice side, they prefer to talk about the mental illness part of him. He knew all about it but chose not to be bothered. He's always happy when he is working, he makes work interesting when he is there. Singing and dancing whilst working.
You are gone too soon Astley, dont know why u had to go without saying goodbye. I remember when i was leaving home for uni and we were going on about missing each other but we promised to keep in touch via phone which we barely did. You were such a nice person.

You wanted to go back home to your family for holiday but u ended up not going. I wish u did, cos that would have given ur family the opportunity to see you for the very last time. I was going to call u and say hi cos its been a while since i heard from you but i kept postponing it. I did miss u but ended up not talking to you or seeing you before u passed away. I didnt even know u were ill, how bad is that? I'm so sorry i didnt see you or tell u how much i appreciated and cherished our friendship. I remember talking to you about my acne and u went to the shop to buy me a night face cream and telling me its more to do with hormones. I still have the cream even though its more than a year now but i cant just get rid of it cos its the only thing apart from the good times that we shared together that reminds me of u.

I wonder who will end up with the key holder i bought u with ur name written on it. OCS is not gonna be the same without u, the ward wont be same without u, dining room wont be same without u. I know you have gone to rest from all the stress of this world and i do pray God will grant ur family the fortitude to bear the loss. What happens to ur book now? Its never gonna be published will it..........I do love u but God loves u more and He knows why he's taken you away.

I will surely miss u.
Rest in peace Astley, miss V loves you.
The good times we had together will always be on my mind.
RIP RIP RIP.
Adieu Mr James!
