Pick Me Up! Special

Something to REMEMBER

Jack Bentley, 27, would always go the extra mile for any of us. That’s what made him ever so special.

He was funny, charming and had a heart of gold.

When we were in school, he’d shimmy up the trees and pull daft faces – it’s no wonder everyone nicknamed him ‘Monkey’.

And it was that same skill he used to charm our little boy Lucas.

When my boyfriend Danny and I were only 20 years old, I fell pregnant unexpectedly.

Whilst we juggled life with our beautiful new-born, Lucas, Jack was always there to help.

Offering to babysit, buying clothes and toys, and keeping us company on evenings – he was a great support.
