Thinking of you and sending our love from down the mountain
Give me a shout if you're stuck for anything.

Sending a virtual hug Wendy xx

Oh Wendy, thinking of you.
Surround yourself with comforts and have a calm few days.
R I P Colin.

I know you'll know what I mean Wendy when I say good, I am glad he didn't linger. I remember what it was like when Janet was fighting the inevitable and how I-we all raged against the cruelty of the disease.... I am so sad Col is dead, he was a good man but he had suffered enough and I know it's what he would have wanted. I wish you well as you transition into your new reality..... Big hug Wendy. XXX

Ah Wendy, you have broken the sad news. I got such a shock when I spoke to you this morning . We really were so sorry to hear this and send sincere hugs and condolences. You have both been through tough hard times but his pain is over , now try to concentrate on all those happy memories and not the sad ones. He will always be with you in your heart and your head

I'm slow off the mark at the moment and have only just caught up with events. Mrs Tiz and I are sad to hear the news about Col and hope you get through the coming days without any less important matters being put in your way - banks are quite good at throwing grit into the machinery. Thanks Sue, you've just written what I haven't been able to put in words

The husband of my cousin who lives nearby has lost his father and mother in quick succession in the last few months. Father had recently gone into a nursing home, died, then mother went into the same home. They lived in Blackburn and Mark has been making trips up there but fortunately he has two very capable sisters there who dealt with all the local arrangements for funerals etc. His father had worked at the RoF in Chorley and coincidentally there's a lady who lives near us whose husband worked there too. Northerners seem to get everywhere.

Sending our love to you Wendy,
Peter & Janet xx

Lovely comments Sue.

Thank you all for your very kind comments. I am feeling increasingly relaxed and relieved that Col is finally at peace. It's a long time since his health problems didn't dominate our lives.
Tizer, all our assets are in joint names and I hope there won't be a problem. We made mirror wills last year so that will help.
I'm concentrating on funeral plans at the moment, trying to decide on the right music.
Don't worry about me, I'm looking forward to the future, but I could do without Storm Amy!!
