Dad would have liked the funeral and would have been especially proud of Babs and Jo who both in their different ways gave a personal touch to the service.
There was a really good turnout of friends, relatives and people from the church which had been such a big part of dad's life.
The presence of so many church members, including members of the choir, certainly raised the quality of the singing above the norm.
After the service we retired to the church hall.
I remember as a child being a bit shocked when after my grandma's funeral, everyone was laughing and joking over tea and sandwiches. I have since come to like this aspect of our family funerals. This one was better than most. It is only at weddings and funerals that we all get together from various parts of the country so there was much reminiscing, catching up and general gossip to be indulged in.
As I said, dad would have liked it.
