I am so sorry to read about Angus’ passing. When he moved to the island, I lost touch with him.
I enjoyed our visits. He spoke of his family so fondly.
Sharing in your sadness, with deepest sympathy.
Heather, Angus and Ken, so sorry to hear of the loss of Uncle Angus.
It was lovely when you all came over to visit us in England.
Uncle Angus was a real character, very interesting with a great sense of humour.
Thinking of you all.
