May the warmth and thoughts of others help you through, and you know all your family are thinking about you and loving you. God bless Donna. From Judith and Dave, UK
Remember me Remember me when I am gone away, gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day you tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; You understand it will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me ...
We hope there is comfort in knowing that the one thing you'll always have is the memory of that love for Donna who shared it with you. With Sympathy at this sad time, from Les, Karen and Valerie

One day, a beam of light shone through a crevice that had opened wide -- the rose bent gently towards its warmth then passed beyond to the other side. Now you who de...

O Dreamer O dreamer, leave thy dreams for joyful waking, O captive, rise and sing, for thou art free; The Christ is here, all dreams of error breaking, Unloosing bonds of all captivity. He comes to bless thee on his wings of healing; To banish pain, and wipe all tears away; He comes anew, to humble hearts revealing The mounting footsteps o...

π― Jayne Linfield lit a candle 1st February -- As the hopes and dreams of a lifetime fade under the harsh light of reality,and the last phase of one's life creeps up like a thief in the night, the realisation that it is time to say goodbye to your home, your stuff, the animals and birds that have befriended you through all the lonely times,leaving ...
π― Jayne Linfield lit a candle 11th May -- Today is Mother's Day and I'm remembering last year when we had lunch at OUR pub. Little did we know what lay ahead.
