Thanks to everyone for supporting George Robertson's Seunghwa Ceremony

A very big Thank You for all your cards and emails with touching comments, for all your tributes, donations to the MS Society and all your support you have so generously given before and during George’s Farewell! Sorry, we cannot thank each one personally but we would like you to know that everything has been received very gratefully and will be used with great care.

Thank you to all who could make it to the Seunghwa at St. Barnabas church and to the Won Jeon! We need to thank specially all our musicians, Franklin Fortune and Jeff Bateman for singing during the first ceremony. David Mann playing in church and at the burial ground, with Jeff playing the Japanese flute also at the burial ground (not same time!), which created a wonderful atmosphere and finally Bernard Chellew playing Beatles’ songs, remembering old times, afterwards in the village hall during refreshments! Big thank you also to Cecilie and all sisters who helped with organising and bringing food!

Members of St. B. and local friends commented that they found the service very beautiful and that they had never experienced one like it before there and they were very helpful with Joy Boyce lending us the St. Matthew’s Passion (could not get it in time by internet nor in any shop before Christmas); Jenny Allen arranging flowers; Peter Jackson (sound system) and Michael Parfitt (organ) contributing the music; Chloe Jones and Margaret Brett helping where no one else could. So much love was expressed in various ways by them, truly very moving, especially also by Ian Tattum.

Finally we have to mention that Stuart, George’s brother, supported us also in a big way, his family and relatives.

We pray that God may give His blessings to everyone for their amazing contributions!

Anni and Gilchrist Robertson
