GARETH THOMAS The family of Gareth wish to thank the many people who have been so supportive and caring at this sad time. Your words, cards and letters have offered comfort and given us the strength to go on. We are lucky to call you our friends. Thank you to Jane Cotton of Cotton & Son, your caring professional manner was much appreciated. Thank you to Father Danny of Holy Trinity Church, your words and prayers at the Funeral and at the scattering of the Ashes were so calming and reassuring. Thank you to the close friends of Gareth who organised the Wake and to the Spa Hotel for accommodating so many people. Thank you to those of you who made a donation. We have raised an amazing £1,073 for the South Dorset Stroke Association.
