The death has occurred of:
Winifred HAMMOND
The Family of the late Winnie Hammond wish to sincerely thank everyone who sympathised with them in their recent sad bereavement.
We very much appreciated the attendance of kind friends, neighbours and relatives at the home of her daughter and at the funeral service. Sincere thanks also for the thoughtfulness of many who sent cards and messages of sympathy. Thank you to those family members and friends who gave so much of their time to help serve tea in the home during the wake. It was very much appreciated.
We would like to express our gratitude to the Management and Staff of Ashbrook Care Home for their dedicated care and unwavering attention to Winnie during the latter few weeks of her life. The consistently excellent level of care she received helped to make a trying and difficult journey somewhat easier, especially for us as her Family.
A special word of thanks to Rev Alan Dickey for all his pastoral care to Winnie, also to us as a family and for conducting the funeral service and private committal. Grateful thanks are also extended to Rev Noble Maxwell for his prayerful support and assistance in the funeral service, to Mrs Susan Stewart for playing the organ and for those who carried out parking duties.
A very special thank you is extended to the ladies of Brigh Presbyterian Church for their hospitality in providing and serving a delicious lunch to the family after the private committal and again for assisting so ably with serving a beautiful tea after the funeral service which was kindly supplied by Mrs Jacqueline Booth.
A word of thanks also to the gravedigger John Spratt and his team for his professional preparation of the grave.
Our heartfelt thanks to Helen, Kristy and staff at D. Watters Funeral Services for the help, care and compassion shown to us as a family at a sad and difficult time and for carrying out the funeral arrangements in a dignified and professional manner.
As it is impossible to thank everyone individually, the family trusts this acknowledgement will be accepted by all as a token of our sincere thanks and appreciation.
