A CELEBRATION OF MY MUM

 My mums funeral was held on 3rd February 2022
It was a beautiful service for a beautiful, wonderful mum, grandmum, great grandmum and great great grandmum
I am heartbroken and life will never be the same there is a big hole that can never be filled, my brother Steve arranged the funeral and he did an awesome job, two of my mums grandsons Martin and James (my son) both made wonderful oral tributes 
I have shed many many tears and many more to come but I know that mum would have been thrilled to see the majority of the family and some of her friends attending her celebration of life.

Unfortunately I am in a state of limbo at the moment so I will not be around for awhile, my DT's have been so understanding and kind and I hope to be back one day soon.
Until then I wanted to share just a couple of pictures of mums flowers that were arranged by one of her granddaughters.




I want to thank many of you who have already left me messages on Facebook 
hugs

Hello Lorraine, am so sorry to read of your loss and my deepest condolences to you and yours. It sounds like it was a lovely remembrance for your mum, and to see so many of her family and friends there - I would imagine you are taking some comfort from that.

I wouldn't put any pressure on yourself to craft - only you will know when you are ready again. I'm sure we will all still be here when you feel the time is right to come back and share your makes again.

With all best wishes
Sarah

I don't know how I missed the very sad news about the loss of your beloved Mum. But nevertheless I send you my warmest sympathy, wishing you and your family a lot of strength in future. Beautiful pictures of the flowers!
I know that you have done all you could for her and it will take time to handle. Take good care and I hope to see you around in blogland when you feel you are ready for it.
Hugs,

So sorry that I am only visiting this post now, I am glad the funeral gave you all a good chance to reminisce and remember your Mum and the wonderful woman that she was. The flowers were gorgeous. I hope you start to feel like making cards again soon as we miss them, but whenever you are ready is fine xx
