Prickles - the lovely words you have posted will, I am sure, comfort her family as they do me.

Dizzi is a free spirit now and although I will miss her, I shall always think of her with a smile :-)

Thankyou

This is the verse I asked the vicar to say at my mother's funeral 10 years ago and the vicar asked to take it as she felt it would give comfort to people when they came to see her when arranging funerals. My cousin also used it last year at the funeral of her mother. You can use he or she in it.


You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived


You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left


Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared


You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday


You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on


You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

I don't have any words of my own right now..........but I thought perhaps these words might be of some comfort to Dizzi's family........

I know Dizzi liked this.


If tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you care for me, and how much I care for you,
and each time that you think of me I know you’ll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
and said my place was ready in heaven far above,
and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,
for all life, I’d always thought I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for and so much yet to do.
it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a while,
I’d say goodbye and hug you and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realised that this could never be,
for emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things that I’d miss come tomorrow.
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through Heaven’s gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity and all I’ve promised you,
Today your life on earth is past but here it’s starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last.
and since each day’s the same, there’s no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful, so trusting, so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn’t do.
And you have been forgiven and now at last you’re free.
So won’t you come and take my hand and share my life with me?"

So if tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart,
for every time you think of me, please know I’m in your heart.

My sincere condolences.......Prickles. <3

Still such a shock. Annx my husband said the same, he was pleased Dizzi enjoyed her scooter outing. <3 <3

I never knew Dizzi, but loved her posts and thought she was an example to us all. I'm glad she was in a place she loved when she went and that she got to ride her scooter. RIP DIZZI. <3 <3

I Will See You Again

The sun shall rise,
and sure to set.
Her time has come,
have no regret.
Her life she lived,
we sure all know.
A better place,
she has to go.
Rejoice today
it's at an end.
And she will see us,
once again.

R.I.P DIZZI

Sincere condolences to her family.

R.I.P Dizzy,

Sending condolences to Gwen's family and friends. <3

R.I.P. Gwen. I remember some years ago now meeting her and her husband in London. They met me off the coach at Victoria and we went to the London Maze together. I liked them both.

Thinking of Paul and all of Gwen's family.
