Let Me Go - C. Rossetti

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not for long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that once we shared
Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all part of the master plan
A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know.
Laugh at all the things we used to do
Miss me, but let me go.


When great trees fall - Maya Angelou

And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.

Martin, Maxine, Rory all the grandchildren, great-grandchildren and all the family.
I am deeply saddened to hear of the death of Valerie (Val) she was one of the loveliest people that I know,she loved her family unconditionally.
She kind,always giving/offering you something,even the last weeks of her life whenever she was eating or drinking something she would offer you something.
RIEP Val.
