In memory of Paul Roberts 1973 - 2025 •
Our darling Paul,
It’s taken us all time to process what last Friday brought. We knew it was inevitable and there was no secret potion to keep the kindest most magical man on this earth.
…We don’t have photos, you didn’t teach us dance moves (thankfully!) and we are worlds apart from the showbiz circuit. But what we had seems like so much more, in such a simple way. We were your ‘girl group’ in your ‘happy place’. We knew how you took your coffee and we made you the best sourdough toast! We got those amazing big hugs, so scented, that it stayed with us all day and not forgetting the silliness of you pirouetting through the deli door; when you thought the shop was empty!! You were a vibe in so many ways, our very own super star. You provided a calming elegance of feeling totally cherished, loved and missed whenever you were away doing your ‘thing’…
Paul wasn’t just a customer to us. He became family, along with Phil & Carole. Wondering when he’d be home again to greet us. Making our working day brighter, more magical and always making us smile. Somehow making us connected, like we were some of the most important ladies in his world.
It’s a surreal feeling when someone who should always be there, just isn’t and won’t be anymore. We loved you Paul and we will talk about you with the fondest memories, always. We will watch over your darling Phil and wonderful mum and make sure they’re fed and watered.
Here’s a double shot americano & sourdough toast for you, our shining star, our friend.
Your Beaumont’s girls forever ✨
