muddycoffee   10 #160 Posted April 5, 2009 Indeed it was nice to meet everyone who came to the swim inn today. I am also thinking about those who would liked to have been there. I feel that those of us who will be at the funeral will be representing the whole of the forum community who were familiar with Owdlad and his presence on these forums. I know that it is a difficult time. But please think about him and his family on tuesday around the time of the service. If you would have liked to attend, but cannot, please feel that you are there in spirit with us.  With respect and remeberance Owdlad.

Maddy   15 #165 Posted April 7, 2009 R.I.P Owdlad, I remember you from the days I first joined SF (always much more of a reader than poster) and the Netto bag photo always makes me giggle. I hope today goes as well as it can for family and friends. x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

JoeP Â Â 11 #168 Posted April 7, 2009 It was a lovely send-of for Jeff - like Thebanginman said - the place was full. Â it was a beautifully sunny day and a lovely service. We walked in to 'Jerusalem' and left with 'Always look on the bright side of life.' Â Jeff - God bless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
