Maurice Griffiths
28th April 1929 - 16th October 2007
On behalf of myself Cheryl,
Jessica, and family, I would like to thank all our Friends and
Family, and all who sent the many cards and condolences. I would
like to thank the Doctors and staff at Sawtry Surgery, to Carol
Black, for her kindness and gentleness towards Maurice, also to
the District nurses Corrine and Louise. To all our many friends,
who attended the funeral of my dear husband Maurice, it was
heart warming to see so many of his friends at the funeral, on
26th October.
Thank you to Mr John Garner, for
your reflections on Maurice’s life. Thank you to Jessica,
Cheryl, and Harry for the readings and poems. A big thank you to
Rector Malcolm and Sandra, for officiating at the funeral. To Mr
Gary Crack who said the prayers. I would like to say thank you
to Anglia Co-operative Funerals to Helen Whitwell and Julie
Perry, who were so kind and they handled the funeral in such a
dignified manner.
Maurice battled with cancer since
knowing about it in January of this year. It has been a hard
road, going to Papworth for a scan, then Addenbrooke’s Hospital
for chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. He lost his fight on 16th
October 2007, when he quietly and peacefully passed away, at his
home at Lodge farm, Gidding Road at 6.45am where he was born on
28th April 1929.
He was able to enjoy a party in
honour of our Ruby wedding anniversary. Also my 70th birthday
brought forward, which was held at Lodge Farm, I feel that it
was the right thing to do, and we are so pleased that we were
able to hold it. Thank you to all our lovely Friends for coming,
making it a wonderful event, so that he was able to enjoy the
evening for this I would like to thank Cheryl, and her friend
Cindy Humphries for all their hard work in organising it all so
beautifully.
Thank you and God bless you all
