A friend of ours was in a fatal accident on Sunday ironically on his way to church.
His daughter flew out Monday to identify the body and the funeral today it should have been at 11am but his "grieving estranged" wife couldn´t make it until 1pm.

My heart goes out to his old yorkie Aggie who lost her "mum" nearly a year ago when she walked out and has now lost her "Dad" My sympathies are with his family who first saw the family part and now have lost one.

RIP
Ray <3

Jemima thank you it was strange but our dogs hated each other and we used to laugh that we always knew when the other was in the market near mine.

AnnC how true that it always seems worse at Christmas. His poor family as it was about this time that their Mum said she wasn´t staying.

Sorry Jac, only just seen this. I am so sorry to read about your friend's tragic accident. May he rest in peace and his family find the support they need. Obviously Christmas and New Year will never be the same again for them. Hope someone will take good care of Aggie who will miss him as badly as his family will. The 'grieving estranged wife' sounds a piece of work.
