Dear Zita, Just a short note to thanks you so very much for the beautiful solo performances yesterday at my fathers funeral. So many of the mourners commented to me, after the service, how wonderful you were. I did try and catch you before you left, to thank you in person but unfortunately you had just gone. Many thanks again for making the service special Kind Regards Michael O’Connor
