Elegran

Elegran you might be on your own but you're not alone. We're all crowded in there with you and ready to keep you company

I've just come back to Gransnet and found all these wonderful messages of support and all your generous donations to St Columba's or your own local hospices. Thank you, thank you all, and thank you for the PMs of support that I have received.

It is at times like this that you discover how many good people there are in the world. We were not sure whether to book the larger or the smaller chapel at the crematorium yesterday, but went for the larger "in case". I'm glad we did, so many people came to pay their respects and say such nice things about him.

And I was not sure whether I wanted to stand and greet the congregation as they left, but I am so glad I did. Many had to be back at work or had other commitments to go to and were not able to come for the cuppa and sandwiches/cakes (or a tot of whisky) afterwards, so I would not have had the opportunity to thank them.

Now DD1 and her family have flown home, DD2 and DS are back to work, and I am alone in the home we shared for 45 years.

Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life.

old thats is a disgrace, beggars belief. Thank you I will add you to the list.

Glass I shall donate to my local hospice which was burgled recently... can you believe it... as I feel they could do with the support at the moment.
for Elegran

Thanks annobel will add you too the list.

soop I am sure Elegran would love that

Glad it got there safely, glass. My love to elegran when you deliver everything.

Could I please paint a wee picture of something that would give Elegran pleasure? When she has had time to consider, perhaps she could let me know.

And me please too, Glass. I will give something to a local hospice where a good friend died a number of years ago.

Baggy its arrived, it is beautiful.

Thank you golden I will add you to the file list.

Glass Thanks for telling us. I'd like to donate to my local hospice if that's OK but I shall be thinking of Elegran as I do

Thanks em will add you to list.

Just realised that by giving via text message, it was more difficult to Gift Aid it and it went through Justgiving site. Suggest that it might be better to go direct to the charity of your choice so that they can be sure to benefit from Gift Aid.

Have donated to local Maggie's centre at Dundee Ninewells hospital.

Thanks when I will add you to the list

Hi glass. Yes, I made a donation last weekend, but didn't post. Best wishes Elegran

I am just bumping this thread again for anyone who may have missed this over the weekend, and would like to either make a donation or has something to be included into the file for Elegran

Glassortwo thanks I think I"ve got it , I tend to go "last hour" first but will have a bash at most things always good to learn . I am nothing if not adaptable just ask my hubby !!!!!!!!!!!! tee hee

nonu if a thread slips down the list of 50 active threads it can disappear so might not be viewed, some people use the active list when they first open GN to see whats happening, so by posting on the thread it bumps it back up onto the list. Hope thats not too garbled an explanation

Glassortwo , as a relative newy could you tell me what "bumping " means , Ta

Just bumping in case anyone missed the over the weekend.

I am sure Elegran will be thrilled wherever the donation is going.

Donation done. elegran

I will give a donation to the hospice that cared for my sister before she died, Mount Edgecumbe in St.Austell
