Do not Stand and Weep Do not stand by my grave and weep I am not there I do not sleep I am a thousand winds that blow I am the diamond glints on snow I am the sunlight on ripened grain I am the gentle autumn rain When you awaken in the morning hush I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight I am the stars that shine in the night Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there, I did not die

Remembering my brave and courageous friend Gaynor, my first GR friend. I will never, ever forget all the love and support you gave me when I lost my best friend. Like her, you will always live on in my heart and mind. Even though my heart is breaking and the tears are falling, I know that you are now in peace and we all have the legacy of your inspiration. Sleep well my love, Mandy, Marston & Jordan xxx To Rob, Jack, John and families - much love and sincere condolences to you all. You're all in our thoughts and prayers xxx To Susie, thank you for having the courage and strength to post this thread. Loads of love and huge hugs to you in the loss of your dear friend xxx I fall asleep in the full and certain hope That my slumber shall not be broken; And that though I be all-forgetting, Yet shall I not be all-forgotten, But continue that life in the thoughts and deeds Of those I loved. (Samuel Butler)

My thoughts are with Gaynor's family. Rest in Peace. Margaret

Rest in peace Gaynor. My sincere condolences to the family. Tony. Victoria Australia

I’M FREE Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free I’m following paths God made for me, I took his hand, I heard him call, Then turned, and bid farewell to all. I could not stay another day To laugh, to love, to sing, to play. Tasks left undone must stay undone. I found my peace at close of day. And if my parting left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with deep sorrow, I wish you sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I’ve savoured much Good friends, good times a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me God wants me now….He set me free. My Gaynor rest in peace Joan

Susie, thanks for telling us the sad news Hugs to Gaynors family our thoughts and prayers are with you Heaven has a very special angel and a bright shining star to look down on us all each night. I never met Gaynor but spoke to her quite often, she was or rather still is an inspiration to many.Because we wore her stars when we got married Gaynor was mentioned to all at our wedding it was almost as though she was there. We only talked yesterday of the flowers etc we want for the garden and a white rose for Yorkshire and a yellow 'Gaynor 'rose were added to our list Sleep in peace Gaynor Love Jan xxxx

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance for a break that would make it okay there's always one reason to feel not good enough and it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction oh beautiful release memory seeps from my veins let me be empty and weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight in the arms of an angel fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort there so tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn there's vultures and thieves at your back and the storm keeps on twisting you keep on building the lie that you make up for all that you lack it don't make no difference escaping one last time it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees in the arms of an angel fly away from here from this dark cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort there you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here rob and family i cannot tell you how sorry i am gaynor u will always be my star and i shall think of you always sweet dreams babe limmie rotty shania and jordan xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Rest in Peace Gaynor. God Bless. Condolences to Rob and family. Teresa

So sorry to read this very very sad news... am sending my condolences to her family, she was one courageous lady, and will never ever be forgotten, she touched so many hearts here. God Bless you and keep you safe always, dear Gaynor. Chris.

DEATH is nothing at all. I have only slipped away to the next room. I am me and you are you, whatever we were to each other we are that still. Call me by my old familiar name. Speak to me in the easy way, which you always used. Put no difference into your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, and pray for me. Let my name be ever a household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort, without the ghost of a shadow in it. Life means more than it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute unbroken continuity... Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval somewhere, very near, just around the corner. All is well. Henry Scott Holland 1847-1918 An inspration to us all. Gwynne

Rest in peace lovely Gaynor, our shining star. You are an inspiration to us all and we are lucky to have been privileged to meet you. Our condolences to Rob and the family, you are in our thoughts. Love'n'hugs Sue & Doug xxxx

I have wished so hard that the expected message would never really appear. Your passing sounds peaceful Gaynor and for that I am sure we are all so thankful. My memory of you is a smiling face with a shining Tiara on your head! This will live on in Gaynor's Star. Love and thoughts go out to all Gaynor's family and friends. Jacky xxx
