Stephen’s family have erected a gravestone in memory of his brother, Tony. They have also made a special memorial to Tony in their garden, with pictures and flowers.

 



And the do you sometimes go to see his grave now?
 
Weekly.
 
Yes. 
 
Our whole family, weekly we go and do flowers every week. 
 
Oh that’s nice. And did you make a memorial stone for him or anything that’s a sort of a memorial there, is there a gravestone?
 
He’s, he’s got a gravestone yes. 
 
Yes. 
 
We’ve also got a tribute in the back garden. 
 
Oh. 
 
It was nice before but my mother made it into Tony’s garden. So we’ve got flowers and his pictures along the fence. You know if… if for some reason, bad weather, we don’t go to the cemetery, then we go see him in the garden.
