A Jolly Farewell to a loyal friend

It was with sadness this week that we found out that our lovely Stan the border terrier is no longer with us. He has been at every Jolly St Giles group with his owners Brian and Carol Thorne since we started. Stan was such a good and well-behaved little dog, that it was easy to forget he was in the room. He was so content to be with us and just sit under the table next to Brain and Carol. He made himself visible when lunches were being served, with several meaningful glances at those waiting tables until a sausage or a choice piece of meat was offered.  Stan often accompanied us on our Jolly Strolls in the afternoon. We will all miss him; he was a friend to everyone, and our Jolly Days somehow won’t be the same without him.
