I understand the funeral is on Wednesday & unfortunately is too close to me for comfort with losing my mother only 3+ weeks ago. Alison did invite me to attend & suspect she would welcome the support of many Stanley fans who knew & loved Roy. If it is fitting maybe someone who knows the details could post the time & place on here.
Alison & children, you know I will be with you in spirit on Wednesday, it will be a hard day for you but you know you have the backing of many of Roys friends now, on Wednesday & whenever you need a listening shoulder to cry on-they are your support from now on. Although you will grieve remember the happy memories of Roy you shared because that is what will help you to carry on day by day.
