A book of remembrance will be available for all to sign.
All are invited to refreshments after the service at the Learney Arms Hotel, Torphins.

The last two days have been hard for us all, but the remarkable thing is how much love, generosity and celebration there already is of Moira’s life as family and friends interact over arrangements. This is something Moira would definitely have wanted, and so we intend to make her proud, by continuing the contribution she made to all of our lives.
Russell, Boys and Family

Dearest Russell,
I'm so sorry that Dave and I won't be able to be there in person but we will be thinking of you all on the 2nd. I know it will be a beautiful celebration of the gorgeous girl that we will remember forever, a celebration of the wonderful times we have shared and the love that will always be there with you all.
We will always be here for you Russell and the boys - come and take that promised visit Downunder some time,
Much love Karen, Dave, Jamie and Ross.
Russell, Elliot, Ross & George.
We were so sorry to hear of Moira's death, she was a very special girl and it was a privelge to know her. She will be at peace now, her suffering is over. It was an honour to assist you in those last manic days in Cairo, I wish things could have turned out differently for you all. Moira's spirit will always be with you all. We will be thinking of you and praying for you. God Bless

Dear Russell and family,
I was so saddened to hear of Moira's death today. Although we have not seen you in many years, I fondly remember our childhood days at your grandparent's house, Russell. My thoughts are with you at this most difficult of times, Love Karen

I've just attended what was a truely beautiful service for a truely beautiful woman. I was a school friend of Moira and have such happy memories. True to form, Moira even worked wonders today as I linked up with another friend and spent the afternoon getting drunk and sharing happy memories (including the time we all got drunk on red wine and McEwan's Export!!!)
Russell, I only regret one thing - not trying to get in touch harder! Please visit whenever you are in the area as I'd love to get re-acquainted with you and the boys.
My heart goes out to you all
Mairi.xx
