I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all those people and organizations that assisted, aided and helped me with dealing with the Jewish sign at our local cemetery. The Lions Club generously donated, delivered and supplied the chairs for the cemetery as did Jesse Friend for the Beer Garden at the Royal, Jesse also videoed the special event and will be downloading DVDs which I shall be sending on to the appropriate Jewish organizations in Sydney. A descendant of John Levy, being a congregate of Reverend David Hilton was greatly interested, unfortunately could not attend this new Blessing of his ancestor’s remains. Thanks to ABC radio and 2LF for their involvement. To Liz at the Royal Hotel for the use of the facilities as well as Lynda who supplied the hot water for our beverages. To Mayor Mark Liebich, representing Weddin Shire Council and to all those that rang expressing their apologies in not being able to attend due to previous engagements, including Councillor Jan Parlett. To Nancy Logan who supplied the exquisite Australian Flax material that made the ornamental and keepsake handmade serviettes with trimmings that were generously discounted to me by Trucurnook. To Jeffery (Boofy) Windred who was the chauffer and general transportation hand all day long. A beautiful handmade basket containing delicious home grown Bio organic fruit, vegetables, herbs, chutney, pickles, eggs and jam were presented to the Reverend on the conclusion of the day which were generously donated by Neroli, Stien, John and Donnah Nelson, and Colin Heckenberg. The Reverend then informed us he was overwhelmed by the generosity and kindness of all and that the ‘Goodies’ would be put to good use, as his occupation was that of a Chef! Thank you to my dear friend Cherie who helped with PR. Thankyou dear Editor for your wonderful, time consuming help and a special thanks to Josh at the Internet Centre for helping me with the computer, although being a typist, I am not computer wise and Josh very patient with me calling out every 5 minutes HELP! I‘ve pressed something wrong again. It is now closure and out of a very negative situation something positive, loving and spiritual has eventuated. May God bless you all – BIRUTA SWAIN
