Thank you for following along, and we will have a full write-up of this story shortly. As the service comes to an end, mourners are shown a selection of photographs of Barnaby Webber.Barnaby's mother begins by asking:"How do you follow that?""Until I lost [him], I don't think I really knew how much I loved, and boy, did I love that boy," she says.She says she is"so very thankful" for all the memories of her son.
"You always loved to remind me of possibly you favourite memory of us, which is when I steamed head first into the glass doors in the sun room in an attempt to escape you closing in on me with a rather unwelcoming hockey stick," he says."You're the only reason I have the confidence to stand here today," he says.
He says he could have made a list of"a million people who would die before you would", before talking of the bond the brothers shared."You can run to the ends of the universe and I'll still be there and we'll watch Star Wars one more time.""I was angry at everyone, angry at myself for not being there, angry at you for not running."The pride I feel that you didn't run, you didn't hide. You stood your ground and died being the person you always were.
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why.
