We went to a thanksgiving service today for a lovely friend and member of the choir I belong to. What a wonderful life of giving, to family, friends, community and charities she and her husband supported. She will be sorely missed, but we sent her on to her place of rest, with joyful songs sung by two choirs, and her favourite hymns. The foliage in the floral arrangement came from her own garden
I am actually sitting here crying looking at this and reading your narrative Judith. I just discovered today that the dearest friend I still have has been diagnosed with lung cancer. A beautiful floral arrangement.
