Please accept our heartfelt thanks. Thank you Rev. Blair Robertson for vour understanding, and the sincere and meaningful way you conducted the service, and to Rev. Roe and Rev. Spicer for your kind assistance. Our grateful thanks also go to the ladies who thoughtfully provided refreshments in the hall. A great tribute was paid to Gordon by so many friends and relatives from near and far, who attended the services at the church and graveside and we know he would have been deeply honoured. When loved ones go ahead of us, It’s hard to say "Good bye” And in our grief and sorrow We are tempted to ask “Why?” But they have found the peace and joy. This world can never give And in God's heavenly home. It’s they. Not we, who truly live. —Jean Kyler McManus —lnserted by Mrs Wilma Duff. Ruatell. Robin, Judy, ; Peter and families.
