Your Soul is Free
Being long remembered
She's hanging from my soul.
She's with our Heavenly Father now.
Alas! She's finally whole

The fear, the pain, the suffering
Has finally gone away.
The tears that fell like rain
Are replaced with sunny days.

Oh what a joyous feeling to know you're safely home.
Your soul is free in heaven
And with angels there you roam.

Patrick thank you for passing on the message from Dizzi's family. They are very much in my thoughts as it must have been a horrible shock to them. Dizzi was such a 'vital' person that they, like us, must have thought that despite her illness and terrible health problems she was indestructable.


Rose beyond the wall

Near shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God’s free light,
Watered and fed by morning dew,
Shedding its sweetness day and night.

As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall
Through which there shone a beam of light.

Onward it crept with added strength
With never a thought of fear or pride,
It followed the light through the crevice’s length
And unfolded itself on the other side.

The light, the dew, the broadening view
Were found the same as they were before,
And it lost itself in beauties new,
Breathing its fragrance more and more.

Shall claim of death cause us to grieve
And make our courage faint and fall?
Nay! Let us faith and hope receive—
The rose still grows beyond the wall,

Scattering fragrance far and wide
Just as it did in days of yore,
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will forevermore.

R.I.P. Gwen. I remember some years ago now meeting her and her husband in London. They met me off the coach at Victoria and we went to the London Maze together. I liked them both.

Thinking of Paul and all of Gwen's family.

I Will See You Again

The sun shall rise,
and sure to set.
Her time has come,
have no regret.
Her life she lived,
we sure all know.
A better place,
she has to go.
Rejoice today
it's at an end.
And she will see us,
once again.

I never knew Dizzi, but loved her posts and thought she was an example to us all. I'm glad she was in a place she loved when she went and that she got to ride her scooter. RIP DIZZI. <3 <3

I don't have any words of my own right now..........but I thought perhaps these words might be of some comfort to Dizzi's family........

I know Dizzi liked this.


If tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you care for me, and how much I care for you,
and each time that you think of me I know you’ll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in heaven far above,
and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I’d always thought I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do.
it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a while,
I’d say goodbye and hug you and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realised that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I’d miss come tomorrow.
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through Heaven’s gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity and all I’ve promised you,
Today your life on earth is past but here it’s starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last.
and since each day’s the same, there’s no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful, so trusting, so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn’t do.
And you have been forgiven and now at last you’re free.
So won’t you come and take my hand and share my life with me?"

So if tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me, please know I’m in your heart.

This is the verse I asked the vicar to say at my mother's funeral 10 years ago and the vicar asked to take it as she felt it would give comfort to people when they came to see her when arranging funerals. My cousin also used it last year at the funeral of her mother. You can use he or she in it.


You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived


You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left


Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared


You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday


You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on


You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
