Lynne would sincerely like to thank all family, friends and neighbours for their love, support and kind messages of sympathy, cards of condolence and generous donations received for Victoria Hospital Blue Skies Charity, following the recent sad loss of Sam.

A special thank you to the Critical Care Team whose care and dedication meant so very much to both of them. To Jimmy O’Donnell for his kindness and lovely service, Nicky at the Conservative Club for the hospitality and Margaret Mason for the beautiful flowers.

Finally a huge thank you to Nicholas and Deborah Gillett of N. Gillett & Son Funeral Directors for their help, guidance, care and support, who made such an unbearably sad process so much easier.
