Rose for Edward

It was Edward's funeral today, or rather a celebration of his life, as the family had been to the Crematorium earlier and a service and goodbyes were said there. The service I attended at our local church this afternoon was to celebrate our good friend's life and share our own memories with the family.  A cross made of roses was at the altar and whilst Ol' Blue Eyes was singing his way through 'I did it my way' (provided on a tape of course, even Jane, our wonderful  vicar couldn't actually magic up the real thing!), a few of us were asked to dismantle the  cross and give each lady a rose.  Here's mine. 

RIP dear Edward.
