Joan’s funeral service was simple but quite wonderful with the eulogy delivered by her sister Dorothy and Joan’s friend, Juliet. Through all the tears, it was wonderful to see so many present...family, friends, colleagues and relatives, including one ex-student from our time at Bridgetown High School in 1965.
The wake was also nice; the house crowded with guests. Helen, Martin and James along with several of Helen’s close friends kept the food served and the drinks poured and there was little left after a few hours.
This morning I am again alone.
My Joan; taken just a few months ago.

Kev Old Friend,
It was indeed a lovely funeral, with a comforting attendance and a splendid eulogy delivered by both Dorothy and Julia.
Thank you for the wake, the team did a great job.
I think the beaut photo of Joan on this morning's blog says it all.
She would be(is) well pleased.

Jill and I felt privilaged to atttend the service and wake Kevin. I have a card that the funeral directors passed out afterwards. It remined us that the grieving process takes time and can be difficult. You may feel alone and that is to be expected. The reality is that there are many people who love and respect you. Please remember that you are always welcome at our house. Keep writing. Paul.
