SIR: I am the senior home care worker at Springfield Park, Kearsley. Last week, our team attended the funeral of Mr Jim Kinder. We had cared for Jim for 15 years. He had no family, only us, and we will miss him very much.

I would like to thank Shaws Funeral Services for their considerate and kind service; Russell & Russell Solicitors for allowing us to be part of the arrangements; Blooms florists on Chorley Old Road for their beautiful floral cross and their kindness and compassion and finally, the team leader, manager of Home Care South East, social worker, for allowing us to care for Jim so well and making his life as comfortable as possible. Jim did appreciate this and, most importantly, he knew we cared for him. And a big thank you from me to the rest of our team. I am proud to work with all of you.

Mrs Christine Ogden

Holcombe Crescent, Kearsley
