Funeral

[cynicaldj]

Hi Phil, Tom, & Marcel,

I just wanted to say how nice it was meeting up with Phil and Tom 
yesterday, albeit I wish it could have been under more pleasureable 
circumstances. I am sorry I missed you Marcel.

The Service was beautiful and a great Honour to The Great Man; I had 
sniffles through most of it, but on hearing his voice, Grinderswitch, 
and then The Undertones, the floodgates opened - as did everyone 
elses.

I was so glad I attended, and should like to publicly thank Alan for 
driving me there and back - especially as it was arranged at the last 
minute (0100 hours-ish on the Friday) and I don't think I would have 
been in any fit state to drive back afterwards anyway.

I have E-Mailed you off-list anyway Phil, but was sort of glad not to 
get invited to the Wake, as I was just "another" devoted Listener and 
think I/we would have felt quite isolated, but it must have been an 
experience.

I am glad the the public show of love, sympathy, and support have 
cheered Sheila and the children up a bit too.

Would still like to meet up with you all again, if you're interested.

Take care.

Nathan.
