I haven't attended one, but I had my Mum's streamed online a couple of weeks ago. The people watching said it was very good.

I'm so sorry to hear of your son's passing, Thisoldbird. May he rest in peace. Take care of yourself

[Thisoldbird]

Thank you, sadly we had been estranged 4 years..his choice. He was our only child.

We did get to speak for a few seconds a couple of weeks before he passed.

Still extremely saddened by it all.

Many thanks for your kind words.

[Mamyalynne]

Estranged or not he was still your son - take care. x

[EdmundD]

Yes. In August - my brother-in-law.

I have been to a sister's funeral today. We are a large family and limits on numbers allowed to attend meant that many could not be there. Those who could not be there were able to view the proceedings on a live link and were very glad of the chance to. My sister contracted covid in hospital and it killed her. She was 65 years old.

[Theland]

So sad. My deepest sympathy. How old was he? Hope you don't mind me asking. Glad that you spoke to him though.

[Rosie29]

I'm so sorry Thisoldbird to hear your sad news. My sincerest condolences and try to take care of yourself at this time. X

[Togo]

I have since just been speaking to a family member who did indeed log in to view. She is very grateful to have had at least that opportunity. Condolences Thisoldbird, it is hard to lose any family member, more so a son or daughter.

[Thisoldbird]

So sorry your sister succumbed to the awful Virus Togo. X

Theland my son was 64..I am 83 husband 88 and poorly. Roll on 2021 so we can leave this bad year behind.

Thank you everyone x
