    Hi Kerrie. You have blossomed into a beautiful young woman. Delighted to see you after such a long time and am delighted to say I knew you when you were a young girl. You are an inspiration and I always told your Mam and dad that you were a very special person. Seeing you now on screen confirms what I always believed. Keep the heart up. You ARE a wonderful person. The world is your oyster. xx Bernie
