MACKINTOSH - The family of the late Margaret Mackintosh would like to express their sincere thanks to all relatives and friends for the flowers, cards and kind expressions of sympathy extended to them following their recent loss. Special thanks to the Gateway Care at Home staff for their patience and help; the staff at Kingsmills Care Home for their dedicated care and attention; the members of each of the fiddle and accordion societies she played with, for their companionship and friendship over many years and to the many piano pupils she helped through exams, who kept in touch and visited her for years afterwards. Grateful thanks to Rev. Dr. Adrian Varwell for his thoughtful and caring words at the service and graveside and to William Fraser and all the staff at William T Fraser and Son for all their help and professional and sensitive attention to detail with the funeral arrangements. Thanks also to the management and staff of the Beaufort Hotel for providing excellent refreshments after the service and special thanks to all who paid last respects prior to and after, the service and interment.
