Bernard

We had a sad day yesterday-it was Bills brothers funeral.Some of the family came round on Sunday for lunch and to sort out what was going to read out about him--we had loads of laughs remembering things that had happened over the years.
He had a brilliant send off-the crematorium was packed out with as many standing as sitting. It was very emotional for everyone listening to the readings and the music-especially Leona Lewis Footprints in the Sand and REMs Everybody Hurts .
We all went back to the Charlton Arms for the wake where Adrian , Bernards son had made a lovely gesture of making a big collage of photos from Bills family over the years -something Bernard had been doing just before he passed away. He had them photocopied on A3 for all the family, got to get that framed and hung up.
Today all the family met up again to take the flowers and place them on Bernards Mum and Dads grave at Brimfield, and we went for a lovely tea at the local pub The Roebuck at Brimfield.
Adrian really has done his Dad proud-every little detail was seen to by him.
