MACLENNAN - Ella and family would like to return sincere thanks for so many kind expressions of sympathy received on the sad loss of Ian, by cards, flowers, telephone and personally. Also, the many ways of practical help. We were overwhelmed by all the love and care shown, it was so comforting. First of all thanks to the Rev. Gavino Fioretti for his caring and considerate ways, his many visits to Ian and his constant uplifting prayers. Next, our thanks to Alasdair Rhind and his staff for the sensitive handling of the funeral arrangements. Then, to all who paid their last respects by lining the village street and joining at the graveside service. Thanks also to Bob Shanks of the Seaforth Highlanders Regimental Association, to pipe major Callum MacKenzie and representatives with their regimental colours. Finally, to all who gave so generously towards the Dingwall Medical Group, the total amounted to £510. A big thanks and God bless you all. Ella and family, 18 Fyrish Crescent, Evanton, IV16 9YS.
