Though I wish I could be at Col's funeral to say my Goodbyes, as for many others my day job has got in the way. I'll be able to get home for 1pm, so I'll spend some quiet time with Richard while the service is on. We'll also try to get along to a Sing or Club during the evening to sing in Col's memory, and will certainly be making a donation to the RNLI.

While looking for a card to send to Col's Mum yesterday, one almost jumped out of the rack and will be posted today. It simply says:

A life that touched so many will never be forgotten. Many thoughts are with you today

Wishing safe journey to all travelling to Col's Leave-taking and thanks are due to all who are helping to make it possible for so many of Col's friends to join together for this day, either with arrangements, lifts, floor space, information or blue clickies.

Noreen: many thanks for putting up those photos, my copies are still on the matrimonial PC so I haven't seen them for some years, a lovely memory!
