My Dad - 31.5.1930 - 13.8.2012

Very sads news Louzie, thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I lost my dad 4 years ago this September, like you and many of us on here our dads are why we support the Villa.  He's just gone from sight not the heart, I still have a chat with mine and the passing of time does help some.

Sorry to hear of your loss Lou. Thinking of you.

[Louzie0]

Thanks to everybody for your kind comments.  I really have appreciated them.
Funeral on Wednesday.

I'd also like to acknowledge the fantastic support for 'hospice at home' that we had from our District Nurse team, Marie Curie, Macmillan, and staff from St Giles and John Taylor hospices. I had no idea.

Sorry to hear this Louizie. Hope the day went as well as is possible.

[Louzie0]

Thanks Joe - Yes it went very well, thanks - lots of his and my mother's friends were there, and the rain held off almost all afternoon.
Strange day, but ok.

Sorry so late Louzie0. Sorry for your news. He sounds like a special Man.

[Louzie0]

Thanks Rudy and Simba, really appreciate your posts.
 
Since August, we've lost Dad's sister and two old friends of my parents', so the funerals have been a bit unremitting, recently. Very proud of my mother, she's been to them all, no idea how she does it.  That generation is tough!

[Louzie0]

Just wanted to mark a year for my Dad as a Holtender in the sky.
