George's Funeral

Thank you to everyone who has sent cards, emails and comments. It is lovely to know how much you all cared for George.

George's funeral will be on Monday 14th December at 2pm in Dalwood Church. He is being cremated, but he wanted the whole service to be completed at Dalwood, including the committal - he didn't want anyone to go to the crematorium. His ashes will be buried in the churchyard later, privately.

No flowers please, but if you would like to make a donation in George's memory please do so to either the Cancer Research UK project on malignant melanoma:

or to Hospiscare, who looked after George with such care, in both the in-patient unit and at home:

(There will also be an opportunity to donate to Hospiscare at the Church).

I'm so very sorry to be posting this. George died yesterday, very peacefully, in the Hospice in Exeter. We went in there in the morning after his condition deteriorated, and I was with him.

Alex and Theo (and Jo) had visited the day before, and Anne also came round for a private communion.

I will post again in a few days.
