JennyMorgan Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 To Jean's comment I would add that I have lost a real friend that I never met. I rather suspect that we shall all miss Iain's quiet wisdom. Farewell my friend. If a wreath or flowers are to be sent I would like to contribute. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
