'Tara was undoubtedly the love of my life; the person who gave me the biggest reason to live. As her husband I feel I should have a wealth of stories and anecdotes to tell you all, but the truth is I don't. You know as well as I do; she was eager, intelligent, beautiful, witty... for as long as I live Doctor Tara Lo...Mrs Tara Valentine will always be with me. Why? Because she was outrageously courageous when faced with the blunt truth. I clung onto the hope that she would make it through, but deep down Tara knew it was over- but that didn't stop her fighting until the end.
My beautiful wife has gone, and so has part of me. I'll never wake up in the morning next to her or celebrate special dates in style. She'll never become a mother or me a father to her children. And when asked in my old age who my first love was, I won't be able to point across the room to my beautiful wife.' Ollie briefly paused, whilst scanning the room- making eye contact with just a handful of people. He then continued by lifting his glass in the air 'So please raise your glasses with me to my wife, Tara.' To which every person around him raised their own glasses saying her name.
