BARRON Thelma and Julia would like to thank relatives, friends and neighbours for the kind expressions of sympathy extended to them through cards, personal visits and telephone calls, and for the beautiful floral tributes received on the recent sad loss of their mother, Mary. Special thanks to the wonderful staff of Elmgrove Nursing Home for the exceptional care they provided over the last three months, and to the staff of Ward 5A, Raigmore Hospital, who nursed their mother at the onset of her illness. Sincere thanks also to the Reverend Peter Humphris for his help and support in delivering a memorable and comforting service, and to D. Chisholm & Sons, Funeral Directors, for their sensitive and efficient handling of the arrangements. Finally, thanks to everyone who paid their last respects at the service and graveside, and who donated the generous sum of £200 in aid of the Chest, Heart and Stroke Association.
