The day of Christine’s funeral last week, brought some of the most foul weather of the year to date, and as such, our family  wish to acknowledge, and pay tribute to, the wonderful expressions of love and respect shown to Christine in  both words and deeds. The prevailing weather conditions last Thursday, were absolutely atrocious, especially around the time of the cortège leaving Seafield Drive, and pausing, as it did, at the Piv, before moving on to the Crematorium. So, to those of you, who stood, waiting patiently at Seafield Drive, chilled to the bone, and those of you who stood, equally rain soaked and frozen at the Pavilion,  and, to the many of you who ultimately made the wet and windy trek to the Crematorium, we feel compelled to make you aware of the profound effect your collective presence had on all of us, as we accompanied Christine on her final journey.  We wish to record  our sincere thanks and appreciation to you all. We would also take this opportunity to thank Funeral Director Brian Armour, and his excellent staff at Armours Funeral Service.
