We have been busy in the days since John passed away on Wednesday 8 November, thinking about his wonderful character and how best to commemorate him. Obviously, we have cried a lot and, in almost equal measure, laughed at the memory of some of his antics. We have marvelled at his achievements over the years and basked in his everlasting love.
We will say our goodbyes to John on Tuesday 21 November at 11.45 a.m. at St Peter’s Church, Holly Lane, Balsall Common, CV7 7EA.
We, the immediate family, will make our way to Canley Crematorium for the committal after the service and then return home for John’s Wake, at which we hope to see everyone who loved him, or was fond of him.
After the church service, we’ll meet up at our house for drinks and a bite to eat, to mourn John’s passing, but also to celebrate, with love and laughter, the life of such an amazing man and share lots of memories amongst us.
May God bless him and keep him in his arms for evermore.
Dear Annie
I do hope you will understand my not wanting to be physically there at Johns funeral. Still too raw.
Will there be an on line link?
Love Sue
Hi Sue – I am not sure if you found the link online. I am sorry not to have replied before now – am only just catching up with the comments on the blog. I hope you saw the funeral – it was well-attended and full of love.
Please can you let me know the time at the crem
Please can you let me know what time at the crem, thanks
Hello Jean – I am so, so sorry that I didn’t see this before now. I haven’t been keeping up with the comments on the blog and only just got round to acknowledging them all. Really sorry not to have seen you. No hurt intended, just overwhelmed by the fact that my sparring partner has left me.
