Community commemorates Sandy and Iain

Taking in the view, from one of the two new memorial seats at the Garve War Memorial, are Mrs Janette Menzies and Mrs Bertha Logie from Garve.

The two seats were made by local joiner Mr Murdo Mackenzie of Garve, after the local community and the garden club raised the funds to purchase the wood to have them made, in memory of Janette and Bertha's husbands Iain and Sandy, who passsed away a day apart in March 2008.

Sandy and Iain worked together for the Highland Region Roads Department for many years, keeping the roads open in the winter and summer.

Over the years, Sandy served in many village committees and also helped to run the local youth club in the seventies.

Iain helped out with all the maintenance of the War Memorial garden - painting, grass cutting and keeping the flowers watered.

Both are sadly missed by their families and by the community at large.

A special thanks to Paterson Timber (Glasgow) for supplying the extra timber needed.
