Last weekend one of our neighbours died. Ken wasn't that old - 64 I heard. Cancer. He and his wife Sue bought a plot of land here about 25 years ago and built their own luxury bungalow.
Ken's fight with cancer started not long after he moved here and remained with him on and off over the years.
His funeral, at our church, St. Michaels' takes place on Thursday afternoon. I am unable to go but Jon will attend to represent our family.
It's at times like this that the village comes together.
Sad news. Sorry to hear about your neighbour.
ReplyDeleteSad news - may God comfort all who mourn, and may friends gather round to support them through these dark days
ReplyDeleteI just lost one of my best friend to brain cancer.
ReplyDeleteI have been destroyed all week and it is not getting any better.
Sad days indeed.
cheers, parsnip
That is one of the real pluses of living in a village, isn't it Denise?
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, especially for his wife. How hard it must have been for her to support him to the end. I do hope he gets a good turnout and send off. My condolences to his wife, family, and friends. What a lovely place to be laid to rest, though.
ReplyDeleteIt must be great to live in an Archers' village. Cancer is a most horrible disease.
