Hi Gerry, just thought I would let you know that it was Mum's funeral today. A very sad and emotional day. She is in heaven with you now along with my Dad, Diane, Peg and her parents and siblings. I hope you are all together and having a good catch up. Mum suffered badly over the last two years. In particular this year as she was immobile and in hospital for weeks at a time. The lost of her independence due to her immobility was a heavy cross for her to bear, and she was extremely unhappy. Me Carol Jane and Darren were pallbearers which I found emotionally and physically very hard. It was a lovely service with Carol and Jane read a poignant poem, a there was a recording of Lynn singing Ava Maria. It is very hard for me to cope these days. Its a good job we had Di as she is my constant companion and always there for me. I really need you at the moment. I am so depressed. Everyone I love is taken from me and I am left all alone. Darren, Jamie and our grandchildren are all I have left. They are all living there lives, but I feel in limbo. Our future together was looking so bright and now all alone it feels so bleak. I wish with all my heart body and soul that you were still here. We would be having so much fun now. Snorkelling in the Maldives, living it up in Cuba, cruising around the world. We had such plans for a wonderful retirement together. I cannot face holidays now unless its a few days away with the family. I miss our walks by the riverbank, days out, short breaks away, our cosy night by the fire watching Shred perform and your wonderful drum solos and most painfully our fantastic sex life. I live in hope that we will be reunited in the afterlife and that we can pick up where we left off. I hope you are ok and that you can be in contact with all our dearly departed family. Love forever and always Maggie XxX
