I attended the Funeral Service this afternoon of Ernest ‘Sam’ ‘Sonny’ Peek. The Service was held at St. Margaret’s Church, followed by a burial at Lowestoft Cemetery. It was carried out in such a professional, respectful and dignified manner. The Vicar is unfortunately blind, but he, along with his lovely dog, were looked after in such a heart-warming and caring way by your lady ‘in charge’. I send my thanks and appreciation to you all.
