Thank you so much for letting me know about your Dad. I am sorry for your loss. 

Although I haven’t seen your dad in a while I remember him well, in fact the last time I did meet him was a few years ago now in town, can’t quite recall whether it was M&S or Boots now, but the three of us had a long chat about what John and Kathryn were up to in their lives. I remember your dad as having a good sense of humour and a twinkle in his eye.

I always chat to your mum if I see her walking past with her walker and carer, or when we both happen to be in the coffee shop at Boxgrove. I will send her a card. 

Do let me know if Ethel would like me to pop in for a cup of tea/coffee sometime and I will.

With sincere condolences.
