We will be taking his ashes to Scotland to be interred beside Mum's...... he was a super person, and is missed....he told me loads of "stuff" about his years in Scotland and Canada, I have it all documented....which I am forever pleased I did....... " Christine's father sounds like one of a kind, and over the years she would share some of his down-to-earth typically no-nonsense Scottish outlook on life. She and her family are to be commended for offering the shelter of their home to their father-grandfather in his later years. Blessings to Christine, in the hope that she will have no greater health challenges in the coming year.
