Heart Strings

As a churchwarden at our lovely village church I unfortunately see many funerals, todays was the third one his year where the person was under 45.

The mum who died was 41 , mother of three under 7 years old. She was a real inspiration, she had packed more into her short life than many do in a lifetime. She never complained about her illness and never wanted to talk about it but just to get on with the life she had left to her. She will leave many the richer for having known her.

The service was really lovely with many of her friends and family involved. Music was very important to her and a harpist and violinist played her own choice of music.

This photo is a detail from the harp which was wonderfully played.
