GRAY Christine and the extended family of the late Jim Gray wish to express their sincere thanks to all family, friends and neighbours who have been so supportive with their messages of heartfelt sympathy follow- ing his passing. They extend grateful thanks to everyone at the Portlethen Health Centre for the care and kindness shown to Jim during his long illness. Words are not enough to thank the medical team at the Renal Unit at A.R.I and the Stonehaven Dialysis Unit, where Jim was treated at all times with compassion, kindness and good humour. Special thanks go to Leah Fraser at Aberdeen Funeral Services for her professional and sensitive handling of the funeral arrangements, and to Celebrant Jacqueline Ruddy for her dignified conducting of the service at Aberdeen Crematorium, enabling Jim to have the send off he deserved. Lastly thanks to everyone who attended the celebration of Jim's life, especially those who had travelled a distance, and who generously donated £700, to be shared between Grampian Kidney Patients Association and the Stonehaven Renal Unit.
