reason for my absence by annieannie

Posted on July 19, 2011

my wonderful mum died aged 96years …and my world has changed…
beth was a great example to me and everyone that knew her. following her funeral several people said they wished they had known her…
she chose to be cremated and so we went first to the crematorium for a short service of comittal followed by a celebration of her life in church…then accross to the church hall for a buffett …fab food and lots of conversation with the children running round and enjoying the party…just beth’s style… oh i nearly let this be foregot…i arranged for red roses to be given to the children with love from beth …
they were delighted…
blessings to all
love

    Oh Sweetheart, I am so very sorry, but I know she must have been special because you are her daughter, she will never be truly dead so long as you and others think of her. I created this thinking about my own Mum, I hope it helps,

    i love you annie "))))
    the service you’ve discribed cremation, celebration, food, people stating they’d wished they’d known her mirror my own mothers when she passed in August 2000. Your mother lived very long that is wonderful!!!! and she will continue to live in you which is beautiful. Our love never stops it continues and grows…we will see our mothers again sister…we know this.
    peace unto you tonight and every night always dear one.

    love never dies
