Hi Scribblers,
Many of you will remember Belinda who was a member here for some time before returning to her native Australia with Geoff where they were soon to marry. A lovely couple who some of us knew extremely well with Belinda at Scribblers and both Geoff and Belinda at the Record Office where he was researching his family history.
A lovelier couple you could never meet.
I heard today that Geoff collapsed and passed away at work from a heart attack on Thursday 4th May. It is so tragic and almost unbelievable that he is no longer with us. His funeral is planned for Friday 12th May Belinda tells us that it will be a full military service and they have offered a gun salute with military pall bearers. Geoff's wish was to have a bagpiper play Amazing Grace. Geoff will be cremated then at some point the plan is to release his ashes to the ocean.
Please send your thoughts and wishes to Belinda who has lost her husband and soulmate. And if you should hear Amazing Grace playing, please think of Geoff.
Dave.
