Ashley Storrie spoke beautifully about her mum Janey during her funeral in Glasgow.
Hundreds of mourners gathered in Glasgow this morning to say their final goodbyes to Janey Godley . Crowds lined the street as the late comic's loved ones arrived at St Mary's Cathedral, Great Western Road, on Saturday, November 30.
"My mum is very grateful to all of you who came out yesterday to Edinburgh and lined the Royal Mile and lifted your voices in song and the people who have come today to remember her in the best way possible. My mam was very much the daughter of Glasgow, she loved her city dearly, it was her favourite place in the whole wide world.
During the service the Very Rev Kelvin Holdsworth, Provost of St Mary's Cathedral, spoke about his meetings with Janey before she died. He said she had told him she wanted to forgive everyone in her life for their wrongdoings, however Donald Trump was not one of them. The priest added: "Janey, knowing that she was dying, was making lists of people to forgive and that is what real religion and real humanity is made out of. Janey had a great deal to forgive, bad things had been done to her, I asked her how she was going to do that.
