Celebration of Dad's Life
Yesterday was the day we celebrated our dad's life and his love. So many people turned up to pay their respects. Of course there were tears but our dad was not much on crying. He had such a zest for life and was always the life and soul of any party. Yesterday was no different. He was the life and soul of that party. The first three letters of funeral are FUN.. and our dad's send off was full of fun, singing and happy memories. He had the send off he would have loved. He could have planned it himself. We sang along to all his favourite songs, danced and the wee kids danced too. Several people said it was the best funeral ever. There were a few men at the bar who must have been wondering what was going on lol The funeral undertakers Birrell Corrance in Cambuslang were exceptional. We as a family would fully recommend them. They went out of their way to do all the wee touches that make things nice. Father Paul Morton gave a lovely service and spoke so nicely about dad. Sandra and Stephen Ernest Di Paola at the Newton Arms put on a fantastic spread of foods, tea and coffee. Their wine was really nice too lol The place was packed at one point there was not even standing room. It was such a lovely day and our dad would have loved it. Such a wonderful celebration of a wonderful special man we are all proud to call Dad. Fly high Dad. Watch over us.
Peter McKenna has left the building but not our hearts.
Love you forever dad xxx
