On Wednesday my son took me down to S.E.London for my brother-in-laws funeral, Ted was 88, he was a milkman for all his working life (except for war years). Ted and my sister only had two children, a son and a daughter. Unfortunately Patsy the daughter died in 2006 with cancer. My nephew arranged for a milk float to be the lead car and this morning there is a story on front page of local paper. I haven't put this in listening forum as my nephew said it was to be a celebration of his Dad's life and what a celebration it was.
My sister married two weeks after I married in 1952.
That is a nice story Lorna, I bet it got a few second glances!
Sorry, I meant to still say commiserations.
What a brilliant thought, well done, your nephew :)
Still, I'm sorry to hear about your brother in law :-\
Commiserations on your loss... but at least he went out with style! :)
Sorry about the loss of your brother-in-law but what away to go Lorna
Thank you for sharing this, Lorna.
I think much of mourning is about remembering and celebrating the good things we shared with the person who has died. This way, we balance the grief and gain a new perspective in life.
Spudbash :)
Sorry to hear about your Brother in Law, Lorna. His send off sounded very apt for someone who had spent most of his life delivering milk.
Sorry to hear about your brother in law, but what a way to go in style.
