Dear editor,
I would like to thank the union for the death grant it was
very general of RMT.
I would just like you to know how much my family and I
would like to thank RMT members, LU and Luke’s colleagues
at the Ruislip Garden depot for their constant and continuing
support that they have shown for my son, his girlfriend and
myself.
When you hear of all the bad things, more needs to be said
about the good things.
I have been so touched by so many people who knew my son
Luke and I even received letters from those that have heard
about him. Everyone has been amazing, once again, thank
you.
Yours faithfully
Miss Mieke Charlott
