Family Announcements, births, marriages, deaths, obituaries and in memoriam from Dorset

MARGARET GROVES Malcolm and Roy would like to thank all family and friends who sent messages of sympathy, flowers and attended the funeral service. We would like to thank Rev'd Ackroyd who conducted the service and for his sincere words that lifted the "Veil of Darkness" that was with us. Finally, we wish to thank Allan Quatermaine Funeral Director of Woods Funeral Service for the help and guidance given to us during this difficult period. Our mother would not have wished us to forget and acknowledge the kindness and care extended to her at Portland / Westhaven Hospitals and Buxton House. "She now rests in peace"
