Sorry for mentioning this , I would of liked it to be posted on the Blonde Forum (as there was already a thread about it) but it has not been allowed.
I feel compelled to post it somewhere though :
"Brendan"s Funeral
Both myself and Charmaine would love to attend, but I thought that the £70 which it would cost us to get there, flowers etc,,, would be better donated to his charity, so that is what I am doing.
£70 on its way to your charity Brendan.
God rest your soul xx"
And here is a confirmation email re the £70 donation :
