Good bye our friend…..

What can I say that hasn't already been said about a man so very close to our hearts? I know I haven't know Dr Speight as long as so many of you have, but in the 4 years that I have worked with him, he has become a very dear friend and supported our cause in so many ways – “volunteering" for many of the fundraising events we have arranged, being at the end of a telephone or email when needed, and of course, giving us the benefit of his expertise in ME. So I thought it would be good to use some of the comments I have heard you say over the years – Dr Speight has been heard to say that ME only affects “nice people “ – so how fitting, that I have only heard you say “nice” comments about him!

“He was the only Dr that really listened to me……”

“At least he was willing to try different things to help me!”

“I don’t know how I will ever thank him.”

"We just didn't realise how lucky we were to have him as our Dr!”

“He has fought the cause for ME for many years and helped so many families like ourselves.”

When I was too poorly, he would come out to my house to see me.”

“As a family, we will all really miss Dr. Speight.”
