Both Sides Now: Rows and floes of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere Looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They rain and they snow on everyone So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way I've looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down and still somehow It's cloud illusions I recall I really don't know clouds at all Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancing way that you feel As every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way But now it's just another show And you leave 'em laughing when you go And if you care, don't let them know Don't give yourself away I've looked at love from both sides now From give and take and still somehow It's love's illusions that I recall I really don't know love I really don't know love at all Tears and fears and feeling proud To say, "I love you, " right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way Oh, but now old friends, they're acting strange And they shake their heads and they tell me that I've changed Well, something's lost, but something's gained In living every day I've looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all It's life's illusions that I recall I really don't know life I really don't know life at all Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Joni Mitche

In loving memory of Ian,s Dad - Brian Robert Frost: Italiano and English Ian – Grazie a papà Buon pomeriggio. Voglio ringraziare tutti qui e via Internet per essere parte del ringraziamento di oggi per la vita del nostro papà. Benvenuti a quei membri della mia famiglia e di Roberto in Italia via internet - grazie per esservi uniti a noi. E benvenuti a tutti quei familiari e amici che si stanno unendo a noi tramite questo link. Grazie a tutti voi per i tanti messaggi gentili e le cartoline di condoglianze. Nostro padre era un uomo molto speciale: dedicato alla sua famiglia sopra ogni altra cosa. Era sempre pronto ad aiutarci, senza esitazione: non si stancava mai di riparare le nostre biciclette, motociclette, auto quando eravamo più giovani e in seguito di aiutarci nei tanti progetti di costruzione e miglioramento della casa che intraprendevamo. Ha aiutato me e Roberto con molti dei nostri progetti a Londra, rimanendo con noi e incontrando molti dei nostri amici - ricordo che papà era presente ad alcuni dei nostri incontri molto colorati, rumorosi e piuttosto animati - Tutti sono rimasti colpiti dalle sue capacità e da alcuni dei nostri amici ha commissionato le sue capacità per assistere con i propri miglioramenti domestici. È ricordato con affetto da loro e abbiamo ricevuto messaggi di cordoglio da molti. Sono particolarmente grato a papà e mamma per essere stati di grande conforto per il mio marito quando ha perso suo padre - abbiamo ricevuto la notizia mentre eravamo con mamma e papà - la risposta istintiva di nostro padre nell'offrire la sua spalla a Roberto, so che è stata molto apprezzata e Roberto lo ricordava con grande orgoglio. Grazie papà per essere uno su un milione. Ian – Thanks to Dad Good afternoon. I want to thank everyone here and via the internet for being part of today’s thanks for the life of our Dad. Welcome to those members of Roberto's and my family in Italy via the internet - thank you for joining us. And welcome to all those family and friends who are also joining us via this link. Thanks to you all for the many kind messages and cards offering condolences. Our Dad was a very special man: dedicated to his family above all else. He was always ready to help us, without hesitation – he never tired of repairing our bikes, motor bikes, cars when we were younger and later on helping with the many building and home improvement projects we undertook. He helped Roberto and I with several of our London projects, staying with us and meeting many of our friends – I recall dad being present at some of our very colourful noisy and quite animated gatherings - All were impressed with his abilities and some of our friends commissioned his skills to assist with their own home improvements. He is remembered fondly by them and we have had kind messages of condolence from many. I am especially grateful to Dad and Mum for being a great comfort to my late Husband when he lost his own father – we received the news while staying with mum and dad – our dad's instinctive response to offer Roberto his shoulder, I know was hugely appreciated and Roberto remembered this with great pride. Thank you Dad for being one in a million.

Dear KMMT Supporter, As the festive season approaches, we wanted to thank you for your support and share the impact that Karen's Homes from Home continue to make on thousands of leukaemia patients and their families across the UK. People like Colin and Susan*, who stayed in Karen's Home at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge and so appreciated the precious, quality time together that it gave them: Colin and Susan were convinced that Colin was suffering from the flu but Susan dragged him to the doctor to be on the safe side. The next thing they knew they were being told to take him straight to their local hospital (45 minutes’ drive away) and he was admitted to the acute ward. Susan left him there and drove to his 86 year old parents to tell them "not to panic, he's just being kept in overnight because he's dehydrated." That evening he was diagnosed with leukaemia and transferred to Addenbrooke's by ambulance in the middle of the night. Susan drove to Cambridge the next morning – a 2-hours, 80-miles trip. His chemotherapy started immediately. Susan didn't go home, worked from his bedside in the hospital whilst friends looked after their house, cat and Colin’s elderly parents. After weeks of checking, a Karen’s Home became available. Susan nearly cried when the ward clerk told her. She could sleep on a proper bed with proper sheets (not a rubber mattress) and a duvet. She enjoyed being able to have a bath and began sleeping much better. She could wash Colin’s clothes overnight. Meanwhile, Colin couldn't bear the hospital food and the dietician threatened to insert a tube if he didn't eat. Susan’s mother was able to join her and cooked meals at Colin’s request. When groups of friends visited Colin, Susan’s mother gave them tea and cake in the kitchen/living room of Karen’s Home while they went up to the ward two at a time. After they had seen him, their friends and family came back to the flat to recover and ask questions. He had three more cycles and each time they would ask if Karen's Home was available. On these visits, Susan brought him in a wheelchair to the flat every morning, returning to the ward for more chemo after lunch, and being let out for dinner. He could join her in the evening, enjoying home-cooked food and watching TV together. Friends visited whenever they could, and stayed as long as they wanted, not worrying about disturbing other patients. Sadly, none of Colin’s treatments worked and he passed away less than eight months after diagnosis. Susan said “Karen's Home enabled us to be human beings and a couple. Not a patient and his carer. It contributed massively to the wellbeing of us both: helping me stay sane and sleep. It allowed us privacy and quality time together. It meant we could hug each other. It helped his friends and family to visit and made a difficult time more bearable for them.” With the cost of living impacting millions of people across the country, Karen's Homes help to ease the financial pressure for residents at a very difficult time in their lives. We do hope you will wish to support Karen's Trust at this festive season with whatever you can afford. Just £10 a month will in one year fund three nights' accommodation for a leukaemia patient's family - and with treatment moving to daily treatment but without the need to overnight in hospital, more and more leukaemia patients are enjoying the comforts of a Karen's Home. Please click here to donate or use the attached form to set up a regular gift, At this time of giving please remember the Karen Morris Memorial Trust, the charity set up to continue the fundraising initiative of my sorely missed daughter. With just 1% of our income going on administration you know that your donation will go where it is most needed: to easing the emotional pain of a leukaemia diagnosis for patients and their families. Wishing you and your families a Happy Festive Season and a Healthy, Peaceful 2023.

Ian, really sorry to hear about your loss. When I was made redundant, Roberto was the only person to contact me about my wellbeing and also to give encouragement. Testament to the wonderful human being he was, a true loss to all who was touched by his wonderful personality and presence, we shared birthday, he being 10 years ahead. May you be comforted by his spirit and your memories. Love & Peace Gary

Sending you Extra love because its your birthday.🎂 If I should live a thousand times I wish that you will be my husband every time. I love you more than yesterday and even more today ❤

Our first date Easter Saturday 1987 - Extract from Roberto's Wedding Speech: "I was invited by another Italian friend to join her in Norwich for the Easter week end. Little did I know this is where today’s love story started. This is what you all came for! Let me take you back. The year was 1987 and like all good love stories, it didn’t start too promising – someone pinched my bum at a nightclub...A furtive kiss in the car park that prompted a rendez vous the following morning to which I was late! It wasn’t in the acceptable Italian style of being a few minutes late. It was an hour late!! As it turned out, of the three guys who I found behind me cheekily smiling, I remember as if it was today, the charming smile, broad shoulders and beautiful blue eyes of Ian. I even remember what he was wearing, the car he was driving! Back home with Flavia I spent the night telling her of my adventure and she told me hers...I don t think you want to know...The following morning I got up late and I was late... But as the saying goes, all good things come to those who wait…we can’t rush these things…and during the extremely romantic scenario of Norwich Ian and I met - not without any dramas – Ian was very upset I was late, didn’t t like the jeans I was wearing... and the rest is, as they say, is history. Ian , you look absolutely handsome today, I had tears in my eyes when I saw you earlier this morning getting ready and my heart was racing as this morning celebrations unfolded. I always felt safe with you and your reassuring smile melts my heart every time...I thank God for this day, and all the days we had together and the days we will enjoy as a married couple, because only few months ago I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’d like to say thank you for everything you’ve done to get me/us to today. The planning and sorting a wedding during a pandemic has not been easy, I really thought we were going to hold our reception in the little garden yard at the back of our house! Seriously though, they say don’t marry someone you can live with – marry the person you can’t live without. Ian, I love you now and always!

Dear Roberto, Our work colleague and manager at Camden libraries for many years, A pleasure to work with. He was a man of many talents. Library manager, Restauranteur, Antiquarian, Pilot, Sailor, and also a person with humanity and kindness that he carried with great joie de vivre. Nicky and Paul

I have fond memories of Roberto from when we worked together in Camden libraries. Always immaculately dressed, his enthusiasm could be infectious. It was clear how much he loved Ian, Italy (particularly his family), flying, socialising - and of course talking. I know that he will long be remembered within the wider Camden community. Pamela Butler

Roberto (Robbie) my heart is broken that you are no longer here with us to celebrate your special day, but your spirit is with us all and I know you were looking down on us with your beautiful smile as we raised a glass to you. Love you always Trudy, Michael and all your family xxxx

Ciao Roberto, seppur ti abbia incontrato solo in un paio di occasioni in Italia, la cordialità ed il sorriso che ti hanno contraddistinto, rimarranno nei miei ricordi. Nunzia

Ciao Roberto. Un ultimo abbraccio al caro amico che sei stato, sempre dolce e gentile 🌹🙏❤️ Agnese

Roberto. A genuine kind & gentle soul who would light up any room he entered. We are privileged to have had you as our friend & will miss your smiling face. Will always see you in our hearts eye. Our thoughts are with our dear friend Ian at this sad time and with Robertos family. Karon & Martin

Roberto always made me laugh, a sincere man. Beautiful inside and out. Much loved. God bless

Always a delight never a frown , deeply missed full of the fondest memories With love Val, Julian and Jack xxx

Roberto was an awesome crewmate though sunny, fine and the worst of storms from the UK down to Valencia in Summer 2019. We were looking forward to further passages around the Mediterranean. We will miss him on board but I feel his presence will be felt.

My manager Paul Jameson 21 April 2021 My condolences to Ian and family at this difficult time. I am shocked to hear of his passing. I was lucky enough to have worked with Roberto for many years at both Kentish Town and Queens Crescent libraries in Camden. He was a caring and special person who was great to work alongside. We spent many happy times during our days together at the libraries alongside some stressful times but he nearly always found a solution, he was always very fair and extremely helpful to me in my role. I have many fond memories of projects we undertook together and the many events which Ian also often attended in the evenings too. I will always remember the refurbishments we undertook at both libraries that often turned to many laughs alongside being serious. He will stay in my memories forever. My thoughts are with you all.

Maura Idrofano 21 April 2021 Roberto you were a good, honest and sincere person. You have suffered a lot in your life, but you have also been happy next to Ian who has been by your side until the end. Your death has left an immense emptiness and endless sadness for everyone. Maura Idrofano

Caroline Clipson 20 April 2021 Roberto always seemed to have a smile on his face and a sunny, positive approach to life. He was thoughtful and kind, supportive and affectionate. Roberto always seemed to think the best of people and give them the benefit of the doubt. He was so committed to his work at Camden libraries and the local people who used them. It was inspiring to see how much effort he put into making them comfortable, accessible places to spend time in and to witness the high esteem in which his colleagues held him. He was such a considerate friend and he and Ian were always so welcoming and hospitable at their various homes. I feel honoured and blessed to have known him and I will never forget him.

gary fantie 16 April 2021 Really Sad to hear of the passing of Roberto! A lovely man and great Colleague when I worked at Camden Libraries and one of just a few people who called me and asked about my welfare and well being when i was made redundant at the time! A testament to his caring and loving nature. My condolences to Ian and the rest of Roberto's family on your great loss, may not just the memory of Roberto but his Spirit guide you and strengthen you through this very difficult time. Love Gary Fantie

Camden Library Colleagues Sue Jones 15 April 2021 Condolences to Roberto's friends and family. I worked with Roberto for Camden Libraries for many years and it is sad to hear of his passing. My thoughts go out to Ian and and the family.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Roberto. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
