Goodbye Irene

An image from a memorial service or from the functioned that followed isn't appropriate so I've chosen a bright cobweb. It will have no meaning to anyone but myself.

The church was as full. Irene was a much respected member of her community so the service was attended by both family and friends from far and wide. A son and his wife came from France, her grandson travelled back from Canada and her grandaughters from Bolivia.

I was pleased that all the team who helped me look after her in her last year at home all attended. Heather came up from Dorset and is staying with me so we spent the evening with many happy memories and a bottle of fine wine.

Goodbye Irene. I loved you more than you could know.
