The great gift - the Holy Family icon itself

26th September 2017

Dearest friends of mum and dad,

As promised, here are some more detailed photographs of the icon.  Many of you who saw the icon on the day of the party asked for photos, but these are also for those who sadly couldn't join us on the day.  We will also post them on the website. 

The day was so remarkable and so precious.  Mum and Dad were bowled over by it all - by the presence and love and generosity of those who are dear to them.  Thank you, all, for making it what it was.

Mum, Dad, and the three of us were so deeply touched by the letters, emails and other messages we received in the weeks following the party - and are still receiving.  We are just so grateful for the gift that you all are to mum and dad, and to us.

With all our love,
the daughters Grey

p.s. the photo of the Grey's and dear Claire above, taken on our arrival back at the Cottage after church, was taken by the great Nigel Winser. Many many thanks to him. The photo of the icon installed in its home in the Library is taken by Dad, and all the others by Martin.
