They are a source of great comfort. We convey our heartfelt thanks to Rev. Derek Morrison for his kind words, George Macleod for his understanding and all friends and relatives who attended the funeral service. We would also like to record our gratitude for the tireless, selfless work of all the staff on Ward 4C, Raigmore Hospital. During Joan's final months, we received invaluable support from the Gairloch Medical Centre, district nurses, Marie Curie staff, friends and neighbours. Your efforts were a constant source of both strength and reassurance and we thank you all. You are a credit to the community. Family flowers only.
