Re: Condolences
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your kind and comforting words, which really have helped give me strength to get through this very traumatic period in my life. You are all angels...
Georgie's funeral on Monday 1st August was a non-religious celebration of her life, rather than a mourning of her death. Us fellows were still debating at the last minute, black ties, or not? We decided yes, as a mark of respect..
Could not have wished for better weather that afternoon. Thank goodness it wasn't scheduled for yesterday (Tue 02 Aug), when it was chucking it down all day long here in Luton!
Here she is, my beautiful Hungarian darling, who is now interred with her beloved mother, Yolande, who passed away gently in her sleep back in December 2004...
Georgie died just short of her 70th birthday and our 44th wedding anniversary. She had a daughter, who in turn blessed her with three grandchildren. Who in turn blessed her with two great grandchildren! She passed away very happy, in all the knowledge of all this love around her...
Thanks again- Alan

Re: Condolences
Sincere condolences AL
Should you go first and I remain
To walk the road alone,
I'll live in memory's garden, dear,
With happy days we've known.
In spring I'll wait for roses red,
When fades the lilac blue,
In early fall, when brown leaves call
I'll catch a glimpse of you.
Should you go first and I remain
For battles to be fought,
Each thing you've touched along the way
Will be a hallowed spot.
I'll hear your voice, I'll see you smile,
Though blindly I may grope,
The memory of your helping hand
Will buoy me on with hope.
Should you go first and I remain
To finish with the scroll,
No length'ning shadows shall creep in
To make this life seem droll.
We've known so much of happiness,
We've had our cup of joy,
And memory is one gift of God
That death can not destroy.
Should you go first and I remain,
One thing I'd have you to do:
Walk slowly down that long, lone path,
For soon I'll follow you.
I'll want to know each step you take,
That I may walk the same,
For someday down that lonely road
You'll hear me call your name.
