Just giving for Bernard

[kas]

Some of you have been asking about this. Rather than flowers, Kerin and her family have asked if donations can be made to the Hospice in the Weald, who looked after Bernard so well.

The funeral is on 18th. x

Just to let you know we have done well so far with the just giving page - £558 so far - some donations have however gone straight to the funeral director and I was handed a few cheques today so that's not the final total.

Here's a little clip of the slide show from today. Thank you for all your kind messages. mcl xx

I was thinking of you all earlier today and that slideshow has just had me smiling so much despite the sad nature of the occasion. It was obvious there was such a lot of love and laughter around in your family

We're going to keep this thread, it's such a good cause and worth supporting. x

Thanks Kas! Last count £820 raised!

and thanks Tazzle - yesterday was a celebration of a great man rather than a funeral - was the perfect send off for the perfect man! (and what a dude in the 50/60's??)

Up date on the money raised for Hospice in the Weald in memory of my wonderful Dad:

Just giving: £1,055 and at cheques at Funeral Directors £325 So that's £1,380 in total!!

Thank you to all you lovely people that have given so generously and sent such lovely words.

I have been recently asked for the address from a few other people and there is going to be a Catholic service for him on Sunday 7 Aug so we may still get some more donations so I'm keeping the website live for a while yet and will update you.

Thanks!
