With sincere wishes
Love from Elizabeth, EOS

Thank you Sylvie................ their mum was my beloved daughter <3

A very sad day for us all.

Joeva
Those are lovely words.
Thinking of your granddaughters on the anniversary of the loss of their lovely mum. <3 <3

Our lives go on without you
But nothing is the same
We have to hide our heartache
When someone speaks your name
Sad are the hearts that love you
Silent are the tears that fall
Living without you is the hardest part of all
You did so many things for us
Your heart was so kind and true
And when we needed someone
We could always count on you
The special years will not return
When we are all together
But with the love in our hearts
You walk with us forever.

Sharing this from a posting on facebook today, from one of my granddaughters on the 4th anniversary on the loss of their mum <3

This was read at my husband's funeral last year and it still brings comfort to me I hope it will help others


Farewell My Friends

It was beautiful

As long as it lasted

The journey of my life.

I have no regrets

Whatsoever said

The pain I'll leave behind.

Those dear hearts Who love and care...

And the string pulling

At the heart and soul...

The strong arms

That held me up

When my own strength Let me down.

At the turning of my life

I came across

Good friends,

Friends who stood by me

Even when time raced me by-

Farewell, farewell My friends

I smile and Bid you goodbye.

No, shed no tears

For I need them not

All I need is your smile.

If you feel sad

Do think of me

For that's what I'll like

When you live in the hearts

Of those you love Remember then You never die.

Rabindranath Tagore ( 1861 - 1941)

Heavens now my home by Libby Allen

Nudging

Bless her, much as you will miss her your friend is free from suffering now, may she rest in peace

Lizx

Thank You Liz. She has been very unwell for a long time now so her release is a blessing albeit a very sad one . Cancer is a terrible illness to bear but she is now at peace.

These verses always bring comfort which is why I nudged the thread.

LaGooner, my sympathy on the loss of your friend, I am glad you found a verse to give your friend's family and I hope they will feel closer to their loved one.

Tawny, those words are beautiful, thanks for adding them.

Afterglow- Helen Lowrie Marshall

I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when day is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times and of bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun
Of happy memories I leave behind when day is done.

Thank you for the verse Liz. I have just lost a friend and I will give it to her family, such beautiful words. <3

Just a little nudge for anyone who would like to read these verses

Thought I would nudge this thread again for more verses to be added if anyone wants to or for people to read through.

Lizxx

A little nudge for the lovely verse about Mum's to be added.

Thank you Lilybids, I meant to nudge the thread and got sidetracked so forgot.

I love your avatar, Lily of the Valley were my late Mums favourite flowers. All mine have disappeared from my tub and my garden, I had some pale pink ones but they've gone too. Such lovely flowers and a lovely perfume
