A Very Sad Day

Our friend Harry made a miraculous recovery from life threatening cardiac problems 18 months ago. He was going so well until early this year when some unrelated things went wrong and everything spiralled downwards. 
He died last week and his funeral was today. Somehow it was made even sadder by the fact that we had all been rejoicing at his new chance at life.
He was a very popular local figure, a staunch Rotarian and community member. He and his wife had two sons and also fostered 16 children over the years, adopting one daughter and later bringing up her daughter and twin boys, no easy task for a couple in their 60s.
Unsurprisingly the funeral and wake were very well attended.
