    My thoughts are with you Jim. The best tribute is to remember & smile at the wonderful life she enjoyed and the enrichment that she brought to those whose lives she touched.

    I shall raise a glass to her this evening :beer::beer:

    God bless xx
  • Always at a loss what to say at times like this. Except what everyone else has offered/said. Wanted to try and say something meaningful, creative but can't. So, my thoughts are with you at this time.
    Any help, opinions, views I may hold those are my own. Respect them as you would expect the same in return. Offered freely, is gleaned from a lifetime of experiences, knowledge gaining. Passed on to benefit others. I may be direct, ask you questions but those are to help you. Up to you if you choose to take it. I won't judge you either way.

    Jim, my thoughts are with you are this time.

    There are several lovely poems, this is one whose words have special meaning, especially when it someone close.

    I give you this one thought to keep -
    I am with you still - I do not sleep.
    I am a thousand winds that blow,
    I am the diamond glints on snow,
    I am sunlight on ripened grain,
    I am the gentle autumn rain.
    When you awake in the morning's hush
    I am the swift, uplifting rush
    Of quiet birds in circled flight.
    I am the soft stars that shine at night.
    Do not think of me as gone -
    I am with you still - in each new dawn.

    Ok, i think this is a fitting time, seen as this is an inn, to raise a glass,

    To those that have gone before us, but will never be forgotten, let them live on in the memories of those they have left behind. in doing so they will have eternal life

    No problems Jim, I often have a little think about my grandad at times like these and he died over 15 years ago - he is still greatly missed.
