I hope you Mudcatters will allow us the following "Parish Notice"

The Copper Family would like to thank everyone who attended Bob's memorial last Saturday. It was a marvellous event which further reinforced the great feelings of love and respect in which Bob was held. It was also an enormous source of strength to the family. People made such great personal sacrifices in order to be there - it was humbling. Messages of condolence have poured in by email and post from all over the world for which we thank you all. Believe me, to know that so many were thinking of us and sharing our sense of loss, has given us great strength.
