Allo pals. bro in law, in Canada, has asked us to add some words to the eulogy he is giving at Cynthia`s funeral tomorrow. On the day she died (Monday), hubby and I felt relief, not sadness, at her passing…because her suffering had gone on so long and she was released from it. i`m having a duvet day and have sent my message. Hubby choked on his words. Hubby got a beautiful card for Craig. It reads about a single rose which blossomed by a wall and everyone admired it…then one day, it saw a beam of light through a crack in the wall and followed it. People knew it had gone, but never forgot it. How lovely and oh so true. luv Pollyx ---

I can feel your sadness Polly…its not that long since my mum’s funeral. Tomorrow will be a quiet day of contemplation for you and your husband, I would think. The description of the card sounds lovely and such a beautiful meaning. Love & light to you Poll Noreen x PS; Polly, was my mum’s name you know x ---

The card sounds lovely Poll. I always think a funeral should be about remembering the good things - the fun things and how much the person meant to those around them. At my grandmothers we told all the daft stories concerning her (and there were quite a few) Take it easy tomorrow Poll. Hugs and prayers Kelly xx ---

Oh Poll. Of course you feel sad. You must all feel terrible. Mr Poll must be so so sad. The card sounds beautiful. I am sure Cynthia would have loved that. My father in law died 18 months ago of cancer of the liver, kidney and stomach and I will always remember him asking me “if I got you a gun would you kill me?” So sad and we were relieved when he passed eventually but then the sadness kicks in that you describe. We all miss him very much as will you miss Cynthia. God Bless all of you Poll. ((((hugs)))) Shazzie xx ---

Hiya Poll As you know it’s only been a few weeks since I lost my dad to cancer. I know feelings and emotions you will have will be all over the place at different times over the coming days. It’s always the loved ones that are left behind that have to ‘deal’ with the ‘missing’ but we do. I had such great times with my colossus of a dad and I miss him …but… he has left me with such great memories to treasure for ever and I love my dad for that. Give us a smile, Poll, even if it has a few tears. Take care, Marty ---

It reads; `bye bye aunty Cynthia. I remember the times you came to visit us and had not lost your northern twang, after all those years in Canada...........you can take the girl out of Yorkshire, but you cant take Yorkshire out of the girl.` Priceless! Pollxx ps luv you all for your hugs and kindness. ---

HI Poll. So sorry for your sadness. My dad died last month and i was given a card. Think this is the verse you mean. Thoughts are with you all. A rose once grew where all could see, Sheltered beside a garden wall. And, as the days passed swiftly by, It spread its branches, straight and tall… One day, a beam of light shone through, A crevice that had opened wide The rose bent gently toward it’s warmth, Then passed beyond to the other side… Now, you who deeply feel its loss, Be comforted the rose blooms there Its beauty even greater now, Nurtured by God’s own loving care. ---
