Many of you will recall an elderly couple Mary and Eric Furnell attending club show stands, IoW and the Nationals for many years, in their white Mk2 SunTor. Eric has called Andy to say that Mary has died after a short battle with an aggressive cancer.
It seems that they have no relatives and Eric is very worried that there will be just him at Mary's funeral.
They come from the Uxbridge area and there will be a funeral at Iver. Mary has a burial plot in the Wirral so there will be an interment ceremony later.
We don't know exactly when the funeral or interment will be but are hoping that we can get some members along to support Eric.
I'll keep everyone posted.
Chris

That's such a shame, she was a lovely old lady, she will be missed at the shows. Our thoughts are with Eric at this time.

Very sad to hear that. Had quite a long chat with them at the Nationals last year and as Fruity says she was a lovely lady.

They stopped in their camper on the Yorkshire Moors to check we were OK as we had pulled over which was very nice indeed.

Re: Sad news
Yes very sad news our thoughts are with Eric. Always said hello and chatted they were well known in the suntor register as well so will expect some representative from them too.
