• The family of the late Ena Thomson would like to express their thanks to all for the kind words, cards, flowers and prayers that have been such a comfort since Ena’s death and for the donations towards the British Heart Foundation where £424 was raised in her memory. The family would also like to thank the many members of the congregation and the women’s group who attended Ena’s funeral and also took time to come to the Dean Park Hotel for the funeral tea. Alex managed to speak to most to the friends at the funeral tea, but if anyone was inadvertently missed, he apologises, and wants it known that no sleight was intended. At the funeral the minister noted that he had been provided  with ten pages of information to help him with his address at the service. Alex has continued to add pages with the intention of providing a keep-sake for the family. He has been asked if he would be willing to allow it to be seen by a wider audience and he has agreed. Copies can be obtained from George Drummond.
