Uncle Roy and Aunt Kate 3.2.2016
It was with great sadness to receive the news from Christine that on thursday 20th October 2016 at around 3pm, Uncle Roy had suddenly passed away from a heart attack in the back garden. The funeral was at 11am on Monday 7th November 2016 at Thornhill Crematorium.
I took Dad and Beryl on a very clear and crisp day. It was a very heartfelt yet moving service. The minister gave a very personal yet humorous depiction about Uncle Roy..
Uncle Roy was a great guy. He had one of the sunniest dispositions in anyone I'd ever met...his happiness and laughter will be missed..
It was with great sadness to hear that Aunt Kate passed away after being in hospital for a couple of weeks, on Friday 13th April 2018...She was the last of Dads family..the funeral was well attended and moving...a fitting tribute to a kind and well thought of lady...
Aunt Kates passing was more than just the loss of my Aunt...it was being witness the the passing of something greater..
Aunt Kate was the last of the her Generation. The last of the original Diamond line..in some ways after putting this family tree together, it feels like with her passing the journey through the ages has now come to an end....
