Dear John,
Many thanks for your e-mails, some of which are very sad, and for your telephone message. I have sent a brief e mail to the simuliidbulletin address ( although I think I forgot to add my name at the bottom ).
I will phone you latter today when I get back from an appointment and I will try to get to the funeral.
Best wishes.
John

Please will anyone wishing to send a message send it to me at this email address <[log in to unmask]> DO NOT Press REPLY. Of course if you are a family friend, then by all means write to Peggy at home.
