Dear Nick,

You recently sang as part of an eight piece choir at my mother’s funeral at the West London Crematorium.

I am now back in Australia and in to the routine of working up my hives for the Spring honey flow, watching the sheep as we are about to go in to lambing aaaaaaand the grind of defeating jet lag.

Thank you so much for being part of this beautiful choir for mum’s funeral (Jenny Boxhall). You were really wonderful and helped set exactly the right ambiance that we wanted to achieve. Mum was a “sunny day” and we managed to convey that wrapped in a deepest respect for her life; most of which was aimed at supporting us, her three children.

I found the choir's singing really very uplifting. My sister chose the music which was so well delivered.

Funerals have a nasty habit of being turgid and the congregational singing a little tepid. But the choir lifted the rafters and kept things going beautifully.

I wish you and your friends every success for the future.
