'I asked the family if they still desired to go and they did so we went as a large family, which amounted to ₤ 12,000.

'We 'd had a will drawn up around 2005. It was what is called 'a mirrored will' - so that if I passed away everything went to him, and if he passed away whatever went to me ... and if we both passed away together it got shared between my two children and his 2 children, consisting of Suzanne.

'The business went to Suzanne's bro, Paul. There was a six-year age difference in between us - Vinny was 62 when he died and I was 56.
