BRATTON (Cruden Bay) Mary, Ian, Joanne and families wish to thank all relatives, friends and neighbours for the many kind and thoughtful expressions of sympathy extended to them by way of cards, flowers, telephone calls and messages received on social media, following the passing of John. Heartfelt thanks go to all who cared for him at home, the doctors and nurses at Ward 403, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, along with all staff at Bayview Care Home, Cruden Bay for their excellent care. Sincere thanks go to the Rev. Sean Swindells for his pastoral support and comforting service, Mr Brian Petrie and staff at Baldarroch Crematorium and to The Kilmarnock Arms Hotel for the welcome refreshments. Grateful thanks also go to all who donated so generously towards Dementia U.K. and finally, thanks to everyone who paid their last respects at Baldarroch Crematorium.
