Are You Sitting Comfortably Part 3

[liverpool annie]

What a woman you are Tis ! ... I can't believe you and your good man drove all the way from Oldham !! thank you so very much for your thoughtfulness !!

The pictures are lovely ..... Welsby's really are to be commended for their terrific work !

I just lit a candle for you and your brother and Robert ...... I'm sure the "boys" are watching all this with amazement !!

I must add my congratulations as well. All that I was thinking of saying has already been said.  

Tisgrannie, as you have concerns about the cross next to Robert's leaning, perhaps a word to Graham may be in order - he may just keep an eye on it. Chances are it has been like that for many years and will continue to be OK for many years to come. From what I have learned from rootschat, the safety of stones has become a bit of an obsession, so it may already be being watched.

Robert's grave looks absolutely fantastic - Welsby's have done a marvellous job. Is there any way we could all get together to thank them .... I don't know how, maybe a virtual card signed by us all. And not to forget Graham, I'm sure all this is not part of his usual job description, but he has gone beyond the call of duty to help - and what a result!

And the rootschatters, what can I say that hasn't already been said? What an amazing bunch you all are!

You're right tisgrannie, what a wonderfufl job Welsbys have done. In the photos the stone looks shining new.
It seems everyone has 'done their bit' and the end product has been worth the wait.
A big WELL DONE all round.

I love you Annie, your my inspiration. believe me I got more out of it than anything else.
Thank you for the candle. You are in my prayers.
love
tis

Wonder how much it would cost to have the cross fixed ?? ( I'm just kidding !!   )

Ruskie's probably right ..... it's more than likely been that way for years ... now poor Graham is going to be bombarded with us all asking about the grave next door !!  

His Dad's grave looks wonderful ! that was nice Tis !!

Shaun is going to have a load more pictures to put on the site from Miss M and Tis .... did you guys see the others he put on there ??

Yet more lovely photos, thank you Tisgrannie  

My son has been following this thread, apart from having a great interest in the two World Wars, and spending a few years at Liverpool Uni, he pointed out to me tonight the uncanny resemblance of his name,  he shares the same christian names and the first and last letters of Robert's surname  

I hadn't noticed, perhaps my subconscious had!

I should think that just needs a bit of underpinning! 

I'm pleased to see that this cemetery is not like most of he others I have seen where for reasons of "Health and Safety" any stone that looks even a bit tilted to one side is pushed over face down, and left thus...Or even in the case of one Northern one vistied this year, broken up and used as road blocks!!!
