Dear all,

After speaking with the Stone-Mason and forwarding Rosemary's new,

Proposal; it was mentioned, that the addition for Mark, was not

included. I therefore, require your combined thoughts on the wording, if

any.

Just as a suggestion; we could go with the original wording that I

proposed; with your former intention to eventually move Marks ashes to

Brixham. Another, suggestion, regardless of moving his ashes, would be

to include Mark, by adding wording such as proposed below.

Also remembering her loving Son, our dear Brother Mark

Born on the 28^th of November 1950 Died on the 16^th of October 1988

Always a part of us!

Cost of wording £161.00

This wording added to Rosemary's proposal would amount to £787.00, all

inclusive

The final proposal is to simply go with Rosemary's wording and add the

wording for Mark, at a later date and when you are all agreed on costs,

which will inevitably, be collected from individual family members and

therefore _not_, be deducted from the estate

As you will no doubt have noticed, from http://www.willupdate.org/

whilst we have been awaiting Rosemary's proposal, the church fees have

risen from £81.00 to £117.00. I have altered the costing accordingly. I

have been advised that any further delay, could lead to further elevated

costs.

15, Cumber Close, has also, needed to be heated throughout the colder

weather, to avoid dampness, damage to the property!

To avoid further costs, It would also be sensible for those

beneficiaries, who have thus-far, not removed the remaining furniture,

belonging to them, to do so before mid May. Torbay Council, stated,

after six months from the "Grant of Probate" council tax will be payable

at a rate of 90%, if indeed, there is _any furniture at all_ in the

property.

I received this E-mail from Dionne at 13:40 on the 21/02/2013

I have spoken with Rob and he would like the message that Rosie proposed and 
I believe after speaking to the others that they all agree. He is also happy 
for you to put the wording on there for Mark but after discussion he thinks 
that there is to much red tape to go through re Marks children to propose moving
 Mark even tho it was your mums wishes. So hopefully the head stone can now at last get ordered.
I have also forwarded this e mail to Rosie as I know she doesn't open any e mails from yourself.

Many thanks, for your prompt, reply Dionne 




 
 
 
 
I am currently, sourcing a gardener to tidy up in general as apparently, there 
is a considerable amount of debris from the palm fronds etc. 




 
 
 
 
Just to let you know, I have paid £100 pounds into your account, as promised, 
for the work you did, to help out with clearing the property. This was much appreciated. 




 
 
 
 
Hope all is well with the family 




 
 
 
 
Kind regards

I have added words for Mark, which I feel to be appropriate. I have consulted Theresa and hope this meets with your combined approval.
