The celebration of Bert's life continues,on Thursday Bill and I took Bert's sister Doris and husband Rod to see Johnny Silvo at Wivenhoe,we spent the interval laughing with John and "Chopping" remembering all the times Bert was with them ,John flies back to Norway Monday so will miss the funeral but left a very generous donation to the fund.I can tell you the charity is The Queen Elizabeth foundation(for people with learning difficalties)
Tonight we had dinner with Doris and Bert's sister Jean who has flown in from France with Brian and tomorrow his brother Fred and wife will arrive.The funeral is at 11.45 Monday at Weeley crem. near Clacton,please join us if you can,you are welcome back at our house for lunch.We are sure to all land up at the Royal Marine for music later.
Thanks to everyone who has been phoning us and e mailing us over the past few weeks.I am very aware that all your thoughts and support have helped Bill and I very much,after all we were only doing what all of you would have done had you been closer!Big thanks to Jane who has been in the kitchen with me all afternoon helping with the cooking for Monday.
Finally,thanks to Bert for his friendship and love,a very special gentle man!xxx
