Rachel said: “We are feeling very blessed by the amazingly positive response from so many customers of Dobbies, Bearsden since last Monday.

“We have also been deeply moved by the 50 or so families who have shared the loss of their loved ones freely with us from this dreadful disease.

“Some husbands, wives, dads, mums, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, some dealing with brain tumours themselves, and many like us, their ‘child’!

“It has been very humbling for us as Graham’s family to hear people thanking us for doing this as it has helped them not feel they are on their own and their is help out there.”
