Thinking of you and your family at this sad time. With Deepest Sympathy. Jenny xxx

As a mum, I just can't imagine how it must feel to lose a child. I'm so terribly sorry and all I can send you is my love and prayers. I went through a bereavement last year and was very touched by poems and verses sent to me by GR friends. This is one of them: Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room I am I and you are you Whatever we were to each other, that we still are Call me by my old familiar name Speak to me in the easy way which you always used Put no difference into your tone Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together Play, smile, think of me, pray for me Let my name be ever the household word that it always was Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was There is absolutely unbroken continuity Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval Somewhere very near, just around the corner All is well. (Canon Henry Scott Holland) You are all in our thoughts and prayers, Mandy and family x

robert words cannot express how sorry i am for you and your family on losing david .my heart goes out to you all.with much love and hugsxxxxxx):

Dear Bob, Lorraine and Christopher I am so sorry to hear of your sad loss. With tears in my eyes I was reading your Angels thread and this one, and playing in the background was the song that Mike Read had written which has just been released to raise funds for the tsunami - Grief Never Grows Old. It seems so appropriate Grief never grows old It never dies As fresh as the flowers As clear as the skies My heart it is empty My feelings grown cold But I’ll always remember Grief never grows old Love lives like a flame It flickers and dies It flares with a brightness That bewilders the eyes But there is a burning So deep in my soul That will always be with me Grief never grows old Grief never leaves you It’s hand in hand Like an unresolved question You don’t understand And no-one can answer No-one can say Why grief never grows old at all Or fades away Time moves like the wind The moment he gave Time flies like an eagle From cradle to grave Cry tears for your dying No harvest of gold Though all things must pass away Grief never grows old Grief never grows old It falls like the rain It’s a late summer evening A haunting refrain And sorrow’s an ocean As deep and as cold As the memories remind me Grief never grows old As the memories remind me Grief never grows old. With heartfelt sympathy Jxx

Thinking of you all at this very sad time Margaret

Robert and Family I am so sorry for your loss.. I am not dead, I did not die, I only passed from earth to sky. From dark to light, my soul took flight, Beautiful here, a wondrous sight. The face of Jesus I can see, Happy I'll be when you're with me. The grief you feel will soon subside, And in it's place in you abide. Belief that I'm free from pain, And joy that I am well again. The sweetness of the times we shared, The laughter, and tears together paired. The dreams we dreamed, the prayers we prayed, The "I love you's" so often said. These memories ne'er fade away, But grow brighter as day by day. God gives you grace to bear the dross, 'till rejoined because of the cross. Mazzie x x x
