Funeral arrangements for Janx

[Janx]

Hello all,

Before I launch into the spiel about the funeral arrangements, could I take this opportunity to say a huge thank-you from me, Charlie and all our family for the many touching postings on the site, the personal Emails and cards received over the last few days.

I know it may sound trite, but this has provided a great deal of comfort and is extremely heart-warming to know not only that so many people are thinking of us at this difficult time, but also that so many people held Neil in such high esteem and thought of him as a friend.

The arrangements are as follows:

Friday 9th February 2007

1.15 – Funeral service to be held at Sandal Methodist Church, Barnsley Road, WF2 7NG

2.00 - Cremation at Wakefield Crematorium, Standbridge Lane, Crigglestone, WF4 3JA

Family flowers only please.

Afterwards at:

Hotel St. Pierre,

Barnsley Road

Newmillerdam

Wakefield

West Yorkshire

WF2 6QG

I appreciate some of you may want to attend for the Funeral service or Cremation only – could you please let me know if you wish to attend afterwards so I can try and give the hotel an idea of numbers for catering.

Many of you have already asked about donations to a Charity – we have all been thinking long and hard about this and think that given the type of person Neil was, his priority was always our son, Charlie and providing for his future. With this in mind, it is my intention to establish a fund for Charlie. This can be used for his education and development and will help me to continue bringing our son up in the way Neil would have wanted and in a way which would have made him proud. For those of you who have asked about making a donation, please make your cheque payable to Charlie.

Thanks once again for all your kind words - hopefully I will get the opportunity to meet some of you in person next week and those of you who attend at the hotel afterwards will get to meet our son.

Sarah (Mrs Janx)
