Forgot to mention - lovely deep red roses, on the coffin and then on the table at the party - also the letter JK Rowling wrote Gaynor about fighting her own dementors. Love and ((((())))) to Rob, Jack, John, Clare, Dean, Ellie and Lulu. nell |

Nell I described the day to my husband last night and used almost the same words. The loveliest and most genuine service I've ever been to. Daisy |

Daisy Ditto! It was great to be with so many friends in Gaynor's honour and like you, I have felt very uplifted too. Although it was a sad occasion, it was also a very happy one. nell |

Hello again Nell, How well you have described the day. A beautiful ceremony for a beautiful person and although we were sad and tearful some of the time we had that party didn't we? The flashes of pink and the laughter paid fitting tribute to the woman she was, bright, lively and fun. No sombre occasion for Gaynor - she was determined about that. The person and the day will never be forgotten. Thank you Gaynor for letting us be part of your life and thanks too to Rob, Jack, John, Dean and Claire for letting us share in your Goodbyes. Love to you all Magsxxx |

Nell Thank you so much for sharing that with us. It makes us feel as if we were there. I was thinking of Gaynor, her family and friends all day. Wore pink for work and had a drink at 6pm. Gaynor Shines forever. Pat |
