On behalf of Neil Morton
Dear friends both on our Merchant Navy site and scattered around the world,
it is with a broken heart I must inform you my dear and special wife Joy has passed away.
Just when there was hope for a cure and an extention of life for just a few more years, this exceptional woman proved to be far to weak in inner core strength to under go the treatment.
Farewell brave lady. Neil XXXXXXX

Re: On behalf of Neil Morton
My heartfelt sympathy Neil.As I learnt recently it's all those memories,good and not so good-but mainly and especially,the good ones that will warm you and sustain you through the coming days and months.Not one day goes by that I am not reminded of my Chris-a favourite song heard on the radio or a faded creased photograph can make me weep;moments later I'm smiling at a stupid private memory.I wouldn't want it any other way.
Chin Up.Your 'shipmates' are thinking of you.
