Funeral dates

Update posted by John Falvey

Hi Everyone,

Firstly a huge thanks to everyone who has donated. The family have been totally overwhelmed by the show of support, we have thus far managed to raise over £9,000 in just over 3 days, which is amazing! It is not only a great comfort to know that we are not facing the financial cost of Theresa’s death on our own, but is also proof (if we ever needed it) that Theresa touched an incredible number of people in her short life. We have had donations from all corners of the globe, and we would like to say a sincere and heartfelt thank you to everyone who has contributed, however much that may have been - every penny has meant an incredible amount to us all!

I am pleased to say that Theresa will be returning to the UK this bank holiday weekend. We are really glad that we will be given the opportunity to see Theresa before her funeral, so that we can begin to come to terms with her death, after her having been out of the country for such a long time.

As promised, I also wanted to let everyone know when the funeral is; we now have a date, time and place. There will be a short ceremony in Sacred Heart Church, Bushey at 11:00 on Friday 15th April. We will then be cremating Theresa at West Herts Crematorium at 12:40. We have then booked the Hunton Park Hotel for the exhibition, where people will be able to learn more about Theresa’s life and also celebrate what an amazing person she was.

If any of you would like to contribute to the exhibition, we would love to hear stories and anecdotes of your experiences with Theresa, whether these were in early childhood, school, work, Uni, or on the road in Asia. If there are photos to go with these, please feel free to send these through to me also.

Thanks to everyone for all the support.

Love,

John + family
