Michael, his daughter Julia and Breta's Daughter Paula have asked me to express their thanks and gratitude to those members of both Ringwood and Verwood Bowling Clubs, who attended Breta's funeral last week.
They were very pleased that so many members were able to support the family in saying their last farewells to Breta, by being with them on the day.
Michael also thanks all of the members of both clubs for their friendliness and companionship, shown to him and Breta throughout the years.
Our deep condolences, thoughts and best wishes go out to Michael, family and friends.
Breta will be sorely missed by our members.
