A Sad Evening
I apologise that I haven't posted anything this weekend, and I am afraid that won't change tomorrow either. Those of you who read THIS post about my Godmother Eleanor earlier this week will know what a difficult few days it has been for my family. Eleanor died peacefully this evening. I'll write more about her tomorrow, but I hope everyone will understand if I don't really feel like engaging in political knock-about just at the moment.

So sorry for your loss.
Daisy.
A sad time Iain. Best wishes.
If you are still doing the News 24 press review I'll think about you.
Heartfelt condolences to you and your family, Iain. God rest her soul.

So Sorry about your loss.
It puts things into perspective on what is important and what is not.
May she rest in piece.
John.
My thoughts are with you Iain. Be safe in the knowledge that she is resting in peace.

Iain, you were blessed to be with this fine woman when it counted: as a kid, as a man and at her final passage. The present is bitter, the future is brighter, the bond endures.
Commisserations, matey. Still, have a good knees up at the wake. If she was like any of my relatives, she would give you her blessing.

Iain,
My sympathies and condolences on your very sad, if not unexpected, news.
And, of course, you're absolutely right. Politics is really a sideshow, much as we often believe otherwise.
It's tough, Iain and it's also a reminder one's own mortality.
Had three similar episodes myself in the last three years.
Take care.
What Daisy said.
My sincere condolences to you and also to everyone else who was touched by her life.
Rest In Peace.
His Grace is praying for you. In your grief, remember that she has gone to a better place, without night or tears or sorrow or pain. And our loved ones never really leave us: they live on in our actions, attitudes, thoughts and memories.
Richest blessings,
+Cranmer
I'm so sorry for your loss.
You're in our thoughts
My thoughts are with you.
I found these words of comfort when I lost my grandma:

Sorry for your loss Iain! I'm very sorry for you and your family at a hard time.
Remember you were blessed to know her. Condolences.
Wise counsel from Cranmer. Let her live on in your actions and attitudes - Godmother Eleanor sounds like a wonderful guiding star for a politician to follow.
That was lovely photo of the two of you.
She is at peace , be at peace yourself from knowing that you had such a lovely lady in your life and what a blessing that was.
Best wishes.
Hitch
God Bless you and your family in these difficult times
