Francis McAVEN Obituary

Daphne, Paul and Nikki, Luke and Janet, Kim and Nick and their families are grateful for the many kindnesses shown to us as we farewelled Derham. We thank the wonderful staff at Bupa Ashford in Prebbleton for their amazing care of Derham for almost a year. He enjoyed being part of your Ashford family. To Ali, Peter and Alistair from Hope Funerals, many thanks for your caring support. To Averil Carpenter who spoke on behalf of the Prebbleton community, Rev Phyll Harris and our Lincoln Union Parish family, we thank you all for your love and support. Many thanks to those who attended Derham's funeral service, and everyone who has sent messages, baking and the beautiful flowers - we were so moved by the many tributes we have received. Derham had a full life and passed away peacefully, knowing he was surrounded by his loving family. As we do not have the addresses of everyone we would like to thank, please accept this as a personal acknowledgement.
