Here is a report from Stephan after the funeral that was held for his wife Amelia yesterday:
In was wonderful to Lianne and Adam at the service today. For a day I have been dreading, it went really well. I am guessing close to 200 people in attendance at the Funeral. I had no idea how many people were there until I stood up to do the thank you speech. The Chapel was packed, along with the foyer area and overflowing to the car park. When I looked up all I could say was “holly mollyâ€, the place was jam packed!
The service was wonderful and I was very proud of the way it was run. Though emotional, it was a light hearted service with my daughter doing a wonderful job of the Lordâ€s Prayer. I was up after Jess so I had the pressure on. I made sure Bikes and Scooters got a mention and quite a few people asked about it later. They all were so proud that there is still a wonderful community out there, all willing to help during difficult times. The response to my B&S story was always “Isnâ€t that wonderfulâ€.
Yes the people on Bikes and Scooters are wonderful.
Thank you all for your support and kind words, the amount raised is just phenomenal.
Clem and I are just hanging to get back on the bike.
Thanks,
Stefan

Thank you all for having such open hearts to a guy none of you have ever met.
