Hi all, just thought I would let you all know how colettes funeral went today

her sons were amazing and were really brave doing tributes to her

they also carried her out of church, they really done her proud

the EVOC choir that she was in attended the service and Bernie Whelan who runs the choir, sang all the way through the service, her singing of In the arms of an angel was so touching and I am afraid I lost it there

what came out of the service for me was what a brave dignified, lady colette was with a wicked sense of humour, who was an inspiration to all that met her, she was very brave and everyone is going to miss her

I know quite a few of you on this site know and have met Colette

RIP to one brave lovely lady xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks so much for posting this. I've been thinking of Colette and her family all day and I know other friends have too. In the Arms of an Angel is a beautiful song and I'm not surprised it tipped you over. It must've been a really lovely service for a really lovely woman. xxxx

Thank you so much for posting this, a wonderful description of the funeral. Colette was everything you say and it's hard to realise she is no longer with us. We will miss her so much.

Can I just reiterate what Mary has written- I am so glad that the funeral went well. It always seems to me that this really helps the bereaved. I was so glad that I met Colette.

Thank you for posting this,
