Dear Dave

A most grateful thank you

From so many confused and mixed raw emotions of pain and grief I truly admire your strength of character to mould such a heartfelt memory, and farewell to my husband Ian.
He was a good man and from your visit to the family you learned the essence of a man you had not known.
You were able to convey that knowledge of him during your conduct of his service.
It became a very personal acknowledgement of Ian for us.
But also his extended family and our many friends were included within the friendliness of your words.
For myself you have given a peaceful memory to reflect upon and truly wonderful reminiscences for the long future ahead.

For your kindness and understanding I thank you
