Trudy Writes:-
Hello my Name is Trudy and I live in Georgia USA...my father was
admitted last night and being so far away I worry about him so much. My mum is
having a hard time figuring out how to get there to visit so he is alone
...Please tell him I love him and am thinking of him....He is 80 years old and
was in Burma during the II world war he has many stories to tell and is never
shy to tell them :) His name is Ron he is in ward 3 bed 9. Thank you so much.
Please play him an appropriate song from me and tell him I
miss him very much.
We duly went on to ward 3 and found Ron who was very nostalgic and tearful when
we passed the message on. He was extremely grateful to us and asked us to play
Begin the Beguine as it held special memories for him. We went back later on to
give him a mug and he was still thanking us.
A confirmation was sent to Trudy.
I thank you very much he hasn't stopped talking about it...It's amazing how
something so simple can mean so much to someone. Thank you for your help in
cheering him up when your this far away it's great to know people such as
yourself are there.

in Ward 5 a speedy recovery and tell him we look forward to hitting the road
together in our motor homes real soon. I leave the choice of record to you but
something to do with keeping those wheels rolling would be great !

Gillian D Writes:-
I have just found out that my father has been admitted to Heatherwood hospital,
yesterday morning I believe His name is Dennis. I was wondering if you could
dedicate a song to him. I am sure he would appreciate any music you could pick
for him (rap excluded)! I spoke to him on the phone a couple of hours ago and he
was in good spirits and was saying how well he has been looked after.
I am unable to visit him due to the tyranny of distance as I live in Melbourne,
Australia, and have done since 1981, unfortunately I have been unable to come
back to the UK since then but he has been over several times and met up with his
grandchildren, Hannah, Garth and Karla. We wish him all the best, a speedy
recovery, and a lot of love naturally.
Thanking you in anticipation
