Many thanks to all of you for your kind words and thoughts. We are doing OK at the moment, although it is odd the things that trip you up - tidying the garden this evening, I noticed that a couple of the fuchias Dad grew for me are just coming into bloom. He was looking for a new purple flowered one for me. I'm such a self sufficient person, he really enjoyed it when he could help. I love gardening and will always think of him when I do. I always looked forward to showing him what I had achieved. I'm sure he can still see - but I'll still miss showing him. Thankfully, we have succeeded in arranging the funeral and sorting the legal formalities for that, so it feels as though we are making progress. Little steps.................. Ann

Ann, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. My Dad died suddenly in England and I had not seen him for 10 years and it was too late when I did get there. I am so glad you got to be with your Dad before he died. Please accept my sincere condolences, Love to you and your family from Sylvia in Perth WA xx

Anne I'm sorry to hear your sad news. I'm glad you got there in time to be with your Dad. The funeral directors who are bringing Dad home apply for the certifcate from the home office and that is given as long as you have a death certifcate which gives a clear cause of death that would be accepted in the UK ( and it sounds like you should have that ) Try and get the doctor at the hospital to write on it in English too. If not the death may be referred to the Coroner or Procurator Fiscal. You should also be able to register the death at the embassy in Austria. You will not be able to register the death in the UK although I am unsure of scottish law on this but think it is the same, so get some certificates from them to bring back here for all the financial things that will eventually need sorting. Thinking of you Deborah
