Ann's brother, David, motored over to join us, so that the four of us on the above photograph (David, Ann, meself, and senior daughter, Sarah) went to the memorial service after the funeral (the interment was for family only). It was a good service to celebrate a long life, well spent. I perhaps aught to add, for the benefit of family members who may read my blog and would have known him, that the service was for our old friend Eddie Geary.
P.s. Should further add that the above photo was taken by granddaughter Lucy, who is eleven, and a very competent photographer. She says she wants to be a newspaper reporter. Shame, we've always been a fairly respectable family.

Competent? I should asy so!!
Funerals can't really avoid a certain sadness but should be a celebration of life well lived. Spot on old bean!
I'm sorry to hear old Eddie's gorn, He was a kindly soul - put me in mind of George Formby a bit - can't think why?
Wasn't Eddie Geary the minister who married you and Ann? Does that mean your a free agent again now - or does it not work like that?
Does that mean Lucy is going to be one of the Mommaratzi?
(1) Thank you, 4Ds.
(2) No and no (in that order).
(3) I think she'd make a good newspaper reporter (if that's not a contradiction in terms). Lots of time to change her mind yet, though.
