Thank you to all the family and friends who attended the funeral of dad. A lot of you had to travel quite a way and we appreciate your attendance. The flowers from Frances in Canada and Sue and Judd in Australia were lovely and all the flowers were given to St. Columbus Hospice where volunteers make them into small posies for each patients room as well as the day rooms in the hospice. The cards sent to Tom and I were appreciated and as a family we are a little closer now.
John the Minister did us proud and well done Kimberley for the eulogy to Papa.
