Dear Kel,  Fifteen years on, I still cannot believe you are gone. You were, and always will be, Mr Glasgow.  As a young, shy girl, I had the privilege of meeting you. You showed me kindness and encouragement I will never forget. Every Christmas, you gave your full pantomime fee to Cranhill Credit Union, never forgetting your humble beginnings. You supported many charities, including St Aloysius Catholic Church in Glasgow.  You were a brilliant actor and comedian, and a true gentleman. I remember seeing you in the BBC canteen—too shy to speak, thinking someone so great would never notice me. But you did. You made me feel seen, and included me in invitations that made me feel valued.  You are deeply missed.  Always in my heart, Donna xxx

In Loving Memory of Gerard Kelly Died 28th October 2010  A true icon of Glasgow entertainment, Gerard Kelly was more than a beloved actor—he was a symbol of warmth, wit, and generosity. From the stage to the screen, he brought joy to countless lives with his unforgettable performances and his unwavering commitment to his community. Whether making audiences laugh in pantomime or quietly supporting local charities, Gerard embodied the very best of Glasgow’s spirit.  You are deeply missed, Gerard. Candles lit for you on 21st October and again in your memory. With love and remembrance, Donna

Dear Lord, please see my mum Irene. Once a woman of deep faith, rich in knowledge of Your Word, she is now lost in grief and pain—no longer living, only existing. Please help her find peace and light again.

To my Father who understands: For those wounded by abuse, forgiveness is not a demand—it is a sacred journey. May we honour each story, each silence, and each soul not yet ready. Amen.
