A few words of thanks to all who helped me with the loss of my husband. He had a wonderful send-off thanks to Penrose and the Royal Artillery Association.

I was very grateful with the help and respect given to me and his daughters on our first visit and also when I collected the ashes.

Thank you all once again,
