i had a great day and im shocked that even rotty enjoyed himself. the girls loved it too even if they did come home a little hyper after all the coke and jelly beans. shania bless was so proud of her pink band that she took it to her girls brigade show and tell and stood in front of every1 and told them all about gaynor and that she wears it in honour of her . i was so proud of her. donna the speech was lovely and the flowers are gorgeous we will definatly be goin next yr limmie ross shania and jordan xxxxxx

Dorothy, we wont mention the cellar and roger!! lol Sue I had to ask Susie to move to the otherside of the room, i knew the second i opened my mouth she would be in floods and she was!! I couldnt look up too much and was visibly shaking, but hey, it was for Gaynor.

WELL DONE DONNA !! Gosh pleased I didn't have to make a speech like that, I am crying my eyes out ! Sue............... Remembering Gaynor and family, I didn't meet you but you were one heck of a lady.xxxxxxxxxx sending love to your family.

Hi there Donna Well done!! It was a great day and the speech was wonderful, so moving and then the flowers for Susie ........ ooh!! But I did get piccies of you both, which will send to you both and/or post on GC Photos. It was very moving too to have Rob and family with us, so difficult for them especially, but I'm sure they appreciated our thoughts. Lovely to meet ''old friends'' again, and Len in particular so good to see you and intrigue us with the ''Spirit World'' theories!! and to meet Helen again and new girl Kal - really looking forward to seeing everyone and more next year. Thank you for organising it !! xx

I'd just like to thank you, Donna, for organising a lovely meeting yesterday and for your great speech. You needn't have worried as you delivered it really well (even though people were dissolving into tears around you!) It was good to see everyone again. Helen

You did good! And yes the Pink Fund is amazing - its every single one of yours so be very very proud of yourselves!! As I said yesterday - without GR I wouldn't have raised the first £3k I needed to do China, so to think we're nearly at £30k is a feat to be proud of.

Sorry all, I was out at 4, but I raised a glass of Pink Grapefruit Squash to Gaynor last evening. Always in our memories.

Hi Donna, Well done on the speech - hope you all had a good time. Sorry I couldn't make it (2nd year running !) but work intervened :o( Paul x

Thankyou for being there Len, it was nice to see you. Becs, yes i think Gaynor might have found that amusing lol Today ive woken up with the sore throat from hell and a cold lol

Sorry I couldn't be there Donna it sounds like a very emotional day. I was supposed to be there but something else happened (unplanned) and I KNOW Gaynor would have been happy that I was doing what I was doing! Love to you all, especially Rob, Jack, John, Clare, Dean and the kids! becx

What a truly wonderful speech Donna - the screen has gone all blurry...... So sorry couldn't make it maybe next year. Luv & Hugs Jxx

It was a great afternoon, thank you Donna. Although numbers were down on last year, in a way it was more successful as, apart from a few glued to bar seats, grouped as we were in one room around a large table, everyone could talk to and see everyone else and interesting discussions took place. Your speech was fine and it meant a lot to us all. len

Isnt the Pink fund amazing Helen!! Almost 30k so far! Gaynor would have been so proud xx

Donna thank you for posting your speech - it was the next best thing to being there. Gaynor was an amazing person, and perhaps the most amazing thing about her was that she didn't think she was amazing! But she has helped others to be amazing too - look at what you did after the tsunami and what Diana and so many GR folk have done with the pink fund! nell

Well done Donnna knew you could do it xxhugxx

ha ha they are all trimmed and stuck in a vase,they look lovely thankyou so much,but honestly ,you neeedn't have got them. i was so surprised,thankyou hun. i was tears even before you gave them to me but they just finished me off. love you susie xxxx

Hiya I'm glad you all had a lovely time. I wish I could have been with you. I have put next year's date in my diary. I sat in the kitchen this evening with my (faded) yellow rose and Gaynor's card and prayed for her and her family and friends. Hope that's OK. Love Annie xxxx

Hi Donna Thanks for posting the speech. I wish I could have been there to hear it in person but fully intend to be there next year. Well done. Carolyn
