These trees are planted in memory of 'Arthur Gunn'. He was the kindest, caring and most loving husband, father, brother, in-law, uncle and friend you could wish for, and all our lives have been enriched by knowing him.
May the trees in his grove reflect the strength he showed throughout his life, and the shelter they provide give refuge to the birds and animals he loved so much.
In Loving Memory of Arthur Gunn
The Farewell
He is gone.
You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.
Your heart can be empty because you cannot see him
Or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he's gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn back
Or you can do what he'd want, smile, open your eyes, love
and go on.
Uncle Arthur meant the world to me. He had a great appreciation of nature and all its birds, plants and trees. He believed in protecting and preserving the environment and I know he would have loved the idea of restoring the natural Caledonian forest here in the Highlands.
Loving god-daughter Mandy and husband Gary, Jade and Kyle.

These two trees are being planted on what would have been my mum 'Kay's' 84th birthday, today August 16th.
It's five months now since we lost you mum, and although life goes on, not a day goes by when I don't think of you and remember the years we shared.
All my love, now and always,
Your daughter Mandyxxxxx

These four trees are being planted in Uncle Arthur's grove in memory of my mum Kay, Uncle Arthur's sister in-law.
Mum passed away on march 14th this year at the age of 83.
She is sadly missed by all of us, and we think adding more trees to this grove is a fitting tribute to her memory as our families were very close and spent many happy times together.
These trees are dedicated by her sisters Ellie and June, and her heartbroken daughter Mandyxx

These 3 trees are a Birthday gift for you Auntie Elsie.
I was going to send you flowers, but I thought planting you trees in Uncle Arthurs grove would be a long lasting gift. I like the idea of your trees growing alongside Uncle Arthurs, together, the way I always remember you both.
All our love always,
Mandy,Gary,Jade and Kyle xxxxx

Arthur Gunn Our much loved brother and uncle. We have so many happy memories of family times together, you live on in our thoughts and hearts. We are so thankful to God that you were part of our lives.
Winnie and Leslie Pritchett, Shirley, Jim and Kate Roberts, Andy and Rose Roberts xxxxx "What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day,one more word. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget." With great love comes great loss and we pray for Gods love to fill the emptiness we all feel as part of Arthurs family. Thank you to Mandy for organising this memorial site and our love especially to Elsie and Steve.
