It is with a heavy heart that I have to forward this message.

Dizzi passed away this evening in Sussex at the caravan she escaped reality too.
Thoughts are with her family.

Rest well Dizz

A thread on a different site which has some lovely picture's of 'Our Dizz'

http://www.sgrboards.org/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=4934

Update.
The coroner has been in touch with the family today, 1st June.

Sadly Dizzi had a heart attack.
There was no indication that Dizzi would have known or have been in any pain when it happened.


The family has decided either flowers or donations to PARKINSON'S UK.

Any donations can be made via http://www.lodgebros.co.uk/ under the name Gwendoline Martin.

The funeral is to be held at 12 Noon on Friday the 19th June 2015
South West Middlesex Crematorium.
Hounslow Road,
Hanworth,
Feltham,
Middlesex.
TW13 5JH

The family have said anyone who knew 'Our Dizz', would like to and is able to come is very welcome.

After the service be will a repast Meadhurt Club, Chertsey Road, Sunbury-on-Thames, Middlesex, TW16 7LN, where we will also have a Book of Condolences. If anyone is not able to come but would like to add some comments they can always be sent by email and we will print them of.

My thoughts are with the family.

Shocked and so very sad.
I will miss her gentle humour, which shone through even when the days were tough.

Rest in peace Dizzi.

This seems to be Dizzi's last post and seems to be quite appropriate knowing her as we do

her last post on Facebook was also on the 21st

BEWARE PEDESTRIANS OF THE UK. I AM
SORTA MOBILE.I HAVE A MOBILITY SCOOTER IT'S GREY ,AND
BEAUTIFUL...OH AND I SET ON THE TORTOISE SPEED,IT FITS
IN THE CARBOOT SEPARATES INTO 4 BITS,
SO LOOK OUT DIZZI'S ON THE LOOSE.

She also put up a couple of links re caravans.

She has been in and out of hospital from time to time but I was not expecting this.
I shall miss your zany ways Gwen.. having to replace your keyboard after you spilt cinnamon and honey on it.

I will miss your little drawings, and for the fact that like me you have a penchant for owls.

This is so crazy, I just can't believe it.

On the 20th she posted Henry Scot Holland's poem

Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
That, we still are.

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. Pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?

I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner.

All is well.
**************************
I shall definitely be thinking of you our Dizzi,

Goodbye Gwen <3

I can barely believe this, I was only thinking about our Gwen earlier yesterday. I thought there was a little light at the end of the tunnel for our friend as she had got the mobility scooter so could get out more easily and was looking forward to tales of her travels.

My sympathy to her family, I don't think they appreciated what a wonderful, brave person Gwen was. Her grandchildren will miss her but will have so many memories of all she did with them and for them. She had so many creative talents.

Rest in peace, love, you have been so brave and strong, cheerful and determined to
live life as best you could despite the cruel blow you were dealt.

We won't forget you, Gwen, you will be with a great bunch from gr, sadly growing larger by the week.

Stay Dizzi, Gwen , our Dragonfly flying free now.
