Tom, Lucy's Son, told me that Lucy & himself have been immensely grateful for the tributes to Brendan on here, every Post means a great deal to them.

I told Tom of the Memory Book, & he was overwhelmed. It will be passed to Lucy & him at the Funeral.

I asked if it was his wish that some of us could attend - his reply was that Brendan considered blonde, & indeed APAT, to be his extended family, & "the more the merrier".

So, if you can be there, please do. It would mean a great deal to Tom & Lucy.

To assist those who may be attending, could one of our techier Members maybe google the address, & print up directions to the Church on this thread? Thanks.

For those requiring the general locale to see if they can get there, Crawley is near Gatwick Airport, & Worth is, I assume, a district of Crawley.

Tikay,  have Tom and Lucy said anything about whether floral tributes and/or charitable donations are welcomed? (I thought it would be nice if we could sort out something blonde/poker related for him).

[Robert HM]

Thanks for all the info.

I'm sorry Claire, I completely forgot to ask - as you can imagine, it was not the easiest of conversations.

I had plannned to take a wreath, but perhaps I'd better ask first.

Tom is speaking with Colch Kev right now, but I'll ring him shortly & ask about flowers, & Post the answer on thread.

Yes, that would be most helpful, thanks.

[Claw75]

thank you xx

Tom says that either flowers, or donations, would be equally welcomed.

More than anything, he'd just be pleased if some of us were there.

I will post Links to he Charity to whom donations should be made, & the Funeral Director's address (for flowers to be sent) very shortly.

I know the Church as i went to school at Worth Abbey just the other side of the motorway, if you are coming from the North its very easy to get there:

Junction 10a, turn right at the top of the off ramp, back across the motorway, follow that road you go over quite a large roundabout then just after this there is a right turning take that and you are at the church.
