“At the closing of the day we can shed tears that mum is gone
Or we can smile because she has lived
We can close our eyes and pray that she will come back
Or we can open our eyes and see all that she has left
Our hearts can be empty because we cannot see her
Or they can be full of the love that we shared”
Rest in external peace until we meet again
Philip & Eileen (1st May 2021)
You gave me life
To live as I please,
You gave me love and
Support to follow my dreams.
Your beauty lives
Forever deep in my soul,
The memory of your love
Fills my heart
And I am never alone

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
