Your presence gave evidence to the esteem and love in which Elsie was held by all who knew her. We would especially like to thank the wonderful medical team at Dorchester Hospital led by Dr Moosa, Dr Hilali, Sister Angela Wood and Nurses of the Chemotherapy Unit, and also to the nurses on Illchester B Ward. Their dedication and care was quite outstanding. Special thanks to Father Kieran and Sister Aquin for their unflinching support over the last year. Your love and compassion knows no bounds. Many thanks also the Jane Cotton for arranging the funeral with such dedication. Finally we want to thank all our friends at Moonfleet Bowling Club - what a brilliant bunch of people you turned out to be when the going got rough. God bless you all.

Our appreciation also for Peter Lem's calm, dignified support at Woods Funeral Service, 132 Abbotsbury Road, where donations are still being received in Gretel's memory in aid of The Lantern, Weymouth. "You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn back, or you can do what she'd want, smile, open your eyes, love and go on."
