Acknowledgements

To all of you - your support comfort and encouragement during our time of grief meant so much and we offer you our deepest thanks and gratitude. To everyone who came from near and far to attend Becky's funeral we thank you all for attending. We truly appreciate the wonderful friends we have in all of you. Thank you for the kindness in your donations and your thought generosity and kindness are much appreciated by all families. Given the great outpouring of support I am unable to write individual thank you cards but please know that I appreciate each and every one of you. From the bottom of my heart thank you for your support during this dreadful time and have made it more bearable. Never are we more aware of how much family and friends mean than at a time of bereavement. Where the loss of a loved one is never easy even when anticipated it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us so soon. We were blessed with 30 wonderful years of having Becky in our lives. Nothing or nobody can replace her but her legacy lives on through her family friends and those lives she touched. It is hard to forget someone who gave us so much to remember. We will hold you in our heart until we can hold you in Heaven. Tragically Becky's dad David was found dead on 18th February aged 50. We would like to extend our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to all of David's families in Fraserburgh and beyond. Not only have they lost their much loved brother they then have to contend with losing their niece. You are all in our thoughts at this terrible time. Remember their pain and loss too as they struggle to come to terms losing two generations within three days at too young an age. 8 Lochiel Gardens, Inverness IV2 3BU. 9 Cromer Gardens, Glasgow G20 9JQ.
