I posted here because I felt sad that so few people would be attending my mother's funeral, which was yesterday. I received so many lovely messages from you, reassuring me that after 90 years on the planet, it was understandable that there wouldn't be crowds lining the streets but that you also understood my sadness. I need to say a huge Thank You for making me feel understood and supported (albeit virtually) at a very difficult time.
I also want to update you about attendance on the day.....there were far more people than we were expecting! I was really touched to realise just how many friends she had and that they all wanted to say goodbye.
It was a sad occasion, but a lovely day (if you know what I mean!)
