I didn’t go to Iain’s funeral.
I am not sure I can explain why, except it didn’t feel right (and had nothing to do with not having anything to wear, honest). I have been saying good bye to him a little bit each day and grieving in my own quiet way.
If anyone would like to know more about what Iain was like, there is a fantastic tribute page to him here, complied by Group Intellex.
My favourite quote has got to be Eoin Lambkin’s, who is a mutual friend as well as business acquaintance, who said “…he had a special way of spinning everything into a positive and never had a bad word for anyone, even if he thought they were plonkers”. Well put, Eoin. Sums Iain up perfectly.
Iain’s tributes are truly beautiful. I can see where you lost a very dear friend. How sad.
