The day was stinking hot - 34 degrees @ 1:30pm according to the thermo in the car. Still around 30 now.
The funeral was held at St Michaels and All Angels, which some of you will be very familar with. It was packed - standing room only.
The service took about an hour and contrasted sharply with the wedding in April, which was very non-religious in nature.
They were returning from a family Christmas celebration when the accident happened.
Martyn was top dog (Grand Master) of his Masonic Lodge and moving higher. That's going to leave a hole. There was a Masonic tribute as part of the service.
I saw a number of faces from the past, not all of whom I managed to catch up with. It is unlikely I'll see many of them again (Chch being a small place notwithstanding), let alone in the same place.

Kaye and Martyn were both people who constantly made the world around them a better place and they wrung every possible bit of joy out of their time together. I knew Kaye for 10 years (give or take) and she was very special to me. Martyn I only met a handful of times, but enough to tell he was a good man. May they continue on together for the longest time.
Till we meet again.
