The family would like to thank everyone who has paid their respects to Fernando over the last week, it has been a source of comfort at a very difficult time.

AGC123 1,179 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I will be taking the trip up there myself tomorrow to say goodbye. Just in that I can’t decide wither to wear a shirt or wear my orange football top. What’s the general consensus on that? Under normal circumstances i’d Opt for the shirt but I feel the orange top is more fitting for Fernando. I’m Probably over thinking it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HermannRFC 249 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Extremely sad and I'm sure it'll be at the least very well attended with a fitting tribute paid. Still hard to believe he's gone. RIP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
