ROSS - (Fearn). Violet, David, Susan and family sincerely thank all relatives, friends and neighbours for all their kind and generous expressions of condolence following their sad and sudden loss of Neil. We are forever indebted to the professionalism, care and kindness shown towards him by the paramedics and staff at Raigmore Hospital, Inverness, during his final hours and for the support given by the doctors of the Tain and Fearn medical practice. Grateful thanks to Alisdair Rhind for his moving eulogy of Neil's life and to everyone at Alisdair Rhind Funeral Directors, Tain, for the exceptional care and compassion with the funeral arrangements. Special thanks to Duncan MacGillivray for his poignant playing of the bagpipes, to The Flower Shop, Tain, for the beautiful floral arrangements and to the Shandwick Inn, Kildary, for providing an excellent funeral tea. Finally, a huge thanks to all who came to say their fond and last farewells by lining the roads of Fearn village, by attending the service and interment at Rosskeen Cemetry, Invergordon, and to everyone who, in memoriam, so generously donated £907.10 to the Chest, Heart and Stroke Association.
