Poetic Obituaries: Gemma [Boyd] had previously worked in Tesco

and was making other work plans for her life. She was a keen poet and had written this for Jason after her return from Ireland: "No matter how far apart, you are always in my heart. You make me smile, never frown, in a funny kind of way, you're my clown.

"I wrote this rhyme so you could see all these words are true just like my love for you."

A copy of the full poem was given to Jason after her death.
