Thursday 4th March :-
- 11:15am - Private cremation at Easthampstead Park Crematorium (by invitation only due to space limitations).
- 12:00 noon - Celebration and Remembrance of the life of Karena Claire Mackay at Kerith Community Church, Church Road, Bracknell. - All are welcome.
Car parking is very limited at the church building and therefore we would request that it is reserved for family, elderly and disabled only. Local parking is available at the Charles Square Multi-Storey Car Park.
There will be some light refreshments after the service - all are welcome to stay.
Consequently, I will not wear a black tie to her funeral but will be colourful, and so will our children! I would like to invite you to do the same if you are comfortable with that - Karena was so colourful in life, let's be colourful too as we remember her life and celebrate her certain future. (If you feel more comfortable wearing black, please also feel free to do so).
Family flowers only please.
If you would like to make a voluntary donation in place of flowers, this can be done either online to Duchess of Kent House Charity, or by cheque made payable to Duchess of Kent House Charity but sent to AB Walker Funeral Directors (up to 4 weeks after the funeral date).
John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way, and the truth and the life, nobody comes to the Father except through me"
I think it's a wonderful idea to be colourful - as you say, Karena was a colourful character.
ReplyDeleteI will not be able to attend, but please be assured that I shall be thinking of you and the children. Keep strong - you have a lot of love there.
Always thinking of you

Message from Christine and Barry.
ReplyDeleteSorry we will not be able to attend the funeral, but our thoughts are with you.
We also thought this poem was appropriate.
Love Auntie Christine and Uncle Barry.
God looked around his garden
And he found an empty place
And he looked down upon this earth
And he saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace be thine"
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
Hello Craig, sorry I can't be there today. We're praying for you and your family.
