Hello All,

Just a quick word to say it was really good to be able to link in to the service. There is no doubt in my mind - the Dakin's always do it "their way". Be strong for each other. Love Helen & David in Dorset.

Hello All.
So sorry to hear the news about your Dad, especially having recently moved back to Essex to be closer to all of you.

We are living in Dorset, so would like to join the on line service if possible, so please send the link when you can.

I have attached a photo. It sits on our dresser at home. I think your Mum sent it to me at some point, but not sure of the year? Please let her know we are thinking of her too.

Thinking of you all at this sad time.

Love Helen.

Very sorry to hear of Uncle Ken's passing on May 22--we were looking forward to sharing fish and chips with a drink or two after our permanent return to England late July or August. Anne and family are in our thoughts and prayers at this very sad time. Please send us the link for the funeral.
