From Christine - Anthony's partner

I met Anthony at the beginning of the summer. It took me ages to pluck up the courage to ask him for a drink. Thankfully he didn't turn me down and we spent quite a few chatty, slightly drunken evenings together. On several occasions we sat the whole night talking and drinking tea. His apparent apathy and blase attitude to all he had gone through astounded me and at times was the source of humour. But he was always adamant that I should never worry about such things and just for us to enjoy each others company. I'm so glad I knew your son. He was incredible, funny, kind, could talk more than me (which is a feat in itself) and made a lot of people feel very happy and safe. I'm going to miss him a lot.
