Sorry to hear the news that your lovely father has passed Shirley
He and your mum were dear friends of Mary and Peter
I have fond memories of the conversations I shared with him at Peters funeral.
After loosing my father at a young age then mother later I empathise with the feeling that both parents are reunited and you feel at peace
