We were very sorry to hear of the death of Angusina (Nessie) MacPherson of Stornoway, Tarbert and Peebles. We extend our sympathy to their son, Angus, his wife Anne, son Roddy, his wife Lynne, daughter Erica and her husband Mark, and daughter May and her husband Dickie. We remember the grandchildren, Calum, Katie, Roddy, Wendy, Jack and his wife Ruth, and Mollie. Also, Nessie’s great grandson Finn.  We also pray for her sister Maya (Goathill Road) who is in hospital at present.

We are also sorry to hear of the passing of Barbara Murray, Benside. We remember her daughter Heather, along with the rest of the family, Roisein, Patrick, Dan, Grace, Eirinn, Kay, Kenneth, Tilly, Graham and Kelsey.

 

We were sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Donald Graham (wee Donald), Elizabeth Haldane Court. We extend our sympathy to his brother Iain and wife Sarah, with their children John and Evie.
