News re funeral arrangements
Yet again, thank you to so many lovely friends for posting messages in response to the news of Zoe's passing. I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to respond to everybody individually - I'm staying in a rented flat at the moment, and the owner has a security blanket set up which means that I'm only able to access LJ between 9.00pm and 5.00am! (It's rather amusing actually - when I do try to sign on outside of those times I get an immediate warning that says "PORNOGRAPHY!" *g*)
Several people have asked me about the arrangements for Zoe's funeral. The details were finalised yesterday, and I'm now able to let everybody know that the funeral will take place at Barnsley Crematorium at 13.30 on Tuesday 14th July.
All of Zoe's friends are very welcome to attend the service. Zoe's fiance, Mike, and her family would like friends attending the funeral to wear something containing Zoe's favourite colour, turquoise, and/or reflecting her taste for 1950’s fashions. However, if folks would rather dress formally that's absolutely fine too. In lieu of floral contributions her family would welcome charitable donations to The Barnsley Hospice, a local good cause.
After the service, friends are welcome to join the family for food and drink in The Pheasant at Monk Bretton, which is a local pub that Zoe once worked in.
If anybody would like directions to the Crematorium or to the gathering afterwards please contact me. I can also find out about accommodation nearby if anyone needs to stay overnight.
I can't thank everybody enough for all their support at this extremely tough time. I'm reminded once again that those of us in Pros fandom are all one big family, and I'd just like to say that I really do appreciate everyone's friendship so, so much.
