Thanks and Funeral Arrangements

My sincerest thanks to all who posted (and are still posting) messages and emails of condolence and sympathy. I'm sorry this acknowledgement is a bit impersonal.

Some of you have asked about the funeral arrangements, which it turns out Mum had organised well in advance: it's tomorrow at 12.30 from Christ Church, Hillsborough Road, Lisburn, Co Antrim BT28 1JL. It's "family flowers only", with donations in lieu to the Church itself: their website gives an indication of what they'll do with it.

I know this probably won't give anyone non-local much of an opportunity; the preliminaries took such a long time, and now the final arrangements seem to be happening very fast.

Thanks again to everyone.
