From Anne Hobson, Clive's daughterHello all
I just wanted to say thank you so much for all of the lovely posts on here and for the flowers you sent on to my mum. They're absolutely beautiful and we're all very touched.
Your posts have really made myself, mum and my sister, Jane, smile today - particularly Tony noting Dad's 'pleasant but firm manner' (how true!) and Dave P remembering him asleep outside the TX tent. Dad did like to snooze!
If you don't mind, we'll be using some of your thoughts/comments for our eulogy at the funeral, which is on Tuesday, May 8th, at 1pm at Warrington Crematorium. All are welcome. Dad wouldn't have liked much fuss but we've really enjoyed the love and affection people have shared with us over the last few days and we'd be delighted with any who want to join us to celebrate his life. We're heading up to Walton Hall next door to the Crem for a sandwich and drink after and again, if you would like to come along you'd be welcome.
I have been asked about flowers/donations for the funeral and we'd not really thought about this, but if that's something of interest, we'll be doing a little collection on the day for the Warrington and Halton Hospitals Charitable Fund. Over the years, Dad needed lots of help at hospital and though he hated being there, always said how well they'd looked after him. They looked after us in particular during the last few days too, so it's our way of saying thank you. There's a link below.
Anyway, thank you again. If you think you'd like to come along to the funeral and have time to let me know, that's great. My mail is
annehobson12@btinternet.com No worries if you don't have time to contact me, please just come along. Thanks again for all your kind words. Being part of the LMA made my Dad really happy and he enjoyed everyone's friendship immensely.
With kind regards, Pam, Anne and Jane x
