Final Farewell

I joined 100 people to say my final farewell to a much loved friend.

We drove along the quiet country lanes to the village church, passing the field near Lesley’s house, there standing guard in the sunshine was the white peacock.

To the sound of 30 choral voices, the perfume of spring flowers, the words of her much loved children we said our final farewell.

I left a small terracotta pot of my own flowers picked this morning with a card which read

There is a hole in my heart and my life where you lived.
Once a long time ago you held me tight until the pain went away,
I hope I held you tight until your pain went away.
It was a privilege to have had you in my life and to have been your friend.

Thank you all so very much for your prays, your thoughts, your friendship and your weeding, may all of those who left our world this week be surrounded by as much love as Lesley was.
