Final Chapter - update Sunday 11th October

Jo funeral was held on Friday 9th October, it was a dry day and the turn out was very good, standing room only. Thanks to everyone who came and gave their support to the family. It was a lovely service, just how Jo wanted it to be. Thanks to all family and friends for their support and help.

Update 3rd October - Funeral Arrangements

As promised overspill parking has been arranged in the field adjacent to the church and pub. Entrance to the overspill car park will be in Silver Street. There will be some notices and someone will be there to park you. The field is stoney and has recently been mowed for the funeral so it should not be too bad if it is wet. There is also a gate in the field that leads into the churchyard. We are expecting alot of people so please park considerately.

Jo is now in the Chapel of Rest at Humphries in Albert Street, visiting during office hours in unrestricted. Those wishing to visit out of office hours should ring 01295 265424 to make an appointment. There is a collection with Humphries for Katharine House, in accordance with Jo's wishes, and particularly because of the wonderful care she received whilst at the hospice. Jo wanted a collection for the hospice instead of flowers.

Many thanks, Bernie
