Hi Suee

I'm glad to help.  Not sure exactly WHEN I can go, but we are free in the weekend so I'll make a go of it on Sunday if you can wait that long?

Since no one has been there from your family do you want me to leave anything special there for you?

Hi Renee
Cant tell you how greatfull i am, William was a relative of my husbands family, we are going up to York in 2 weeks to see where he flew from but did not return.
One day he hopes to go over and see his grave, but until then this is the only thing he can do.
He is really touched that you say you can take a photo for him many thanks.
As for taking something that is really kind i cant expect you to do that just someone being there for our family is enough.
If ever there is anything i can do for you please ask, i will send you my email many many thanks. :'(

Suee ~

Really, I am glad to help.  It hasn't taken me very long to understand how important this can be for someone!

I don't know where you are or how difficult it would be to come over this way, but if you do get the chance I would love to help both of you find your way around here AND the cemetery!!

Look forward to your message and I'll keep you posted!

Not a problem Sue.

They didn't all go through - will see what I can do about the rest tonight.

Kind Regards,

Hello!  Sorry I haven't been online for a while - I just got your post!

Of course the offer is still open, as long as you can wait a bit - I have to do it on a free Friday afternoon/weekend and this weekend is already booked up :)

I've been dying to go to Zwolle for a long time now, so this is a perfect excuse!

I'll keep in touch with you!
