Re: Sad News......Redraine
It was Mike's funeral this morning and many thanks to Cashman who attended as promised with his red and white scarf, as I was with mine. We met and had a good chat about Mike and the Stanley.....Thanks again to all of you for your kind and sincere comments on here too.
It was a wonderful send off for Mike with a big turn out from old friends including neighbours, work colleagues and buddies from his climbing days and runner friends of Clayton le Moors Harriers.
Mike's son John and daughter Helen stayed very strong throughout the sensitive and very meaningful service and presented lovely readings and a wonderful eulogy. They and Mike's wife Susan included a beautiful RED flower arrangement and later we were all invited to take home a flower in memory of Mike. John made a number of references to the part that STANLEY played in Mike's life.
It was a super send off and a passionate celebration of a wonderful life lived by a good man, super husband, father and Grandpa.
We will all miss him.....
