Hi All

I cremated my Dad today. Steve (my brother) and me gave the eulogy at the nosh up after. As Dad had told us his views I thought I would share them with you as they are very appropriate.

He always described his body as a vehicle and himself as the driver.

So today we framed it that the driver left the vehicle last week, today we parked it up for good today  and celebrated the life of the driver.

Seemed appropriate to put that up Smiley

It`s a big garage full of some very fine vehicles, all of them treasured by those that know them.
