He was my father, Willie Smith, from Scalloway. He contracted covid in ward 109, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. He went down for a scan, and did not expect to be kept there almost three weeks. He tested positive just as he was about to be discharged.
William Smith. Parkville, Scalloway.

  Just saw this Willie. Please accept my very sincere condolences. You know I really liked your father, indeed your whole family, who were so good to me when we lived in Scalloway. Take care and love to all.
