Dear Gordon & Alison

Just a note to thank you for your help, support and guidance over the past two weeks. The kindness which you have shown us has been greatly appreciated and made this difficult time a little easier for us. I am certain that my Father would approve of everything we have done, even the bumpy ride to his resting place!

My mum and I have just been this morning to visit the grave. We sat on the bench in the beautiful sunshine and all we could hear was the sound of a tractor working the land. How perfect is that?
Once again many many thanks
