Default Re: Hovis' Funeral - what a turn out!!

Hiya All

Me, Lily & Girth all back at ours now.

Firstly - The service sheets. As soon as I have them I will get it sorted.

As for today, it has been a massive roller coaster for me personally and was a brilliant day of support, love, memories, thoughts and of course tears of remembrance. His mum, as Lily has mentioned was stunned at the support and caring that we all showed by being there. It turns out that his family actually knew very little of his biking friends as he knew that his Mum wasn't happy that he rode bikes all day every day, so didn't like to recount the tales to his mum every time he got home (plus more often than not he couldn't remember it!!!! lol).

Joyce was especially touched to hear of those who came from far afield, it really did mean a lot to her. The family have also said they would be honoured if they could pop along to the AR next year to see everyone, again something that would make me personally proud and I imagine everyone here to.

I don't think the day could have been any better. It was the perfect day to remember our friend and the org did him and everyone proud. I'm off to sleep now as I'm an emotional wreck. But one last personal thank you from me to everyone that gave me a cuddle, said hello and helped me get through today in one piece. THANK YOU.
