Sir — Through your letters pages I would like to say thank you to the people of Witney and surrounding areas, whose kind words and comments of sympathy have been comforting to myself and family. My husband, Altin, passed away a couple of weeks ago, after an accident at work.

Many family members have already said their thanks, but I also wish to thank the staff at the Adult ICU, John Radcliffe Hospital, for their care and professionalism in looking after my husband.

My last thank you goes to a Witney resident, I will not name you fully, but WH thank you.

Lastly, I'd like to add that my husband was a decent, honest and hardworking man, who will be deeply missed by myself and our two young boys. Again, thank you.

A Balla (Mrs), Aberystwyth
