We'll be thinking of you, Lizzie. Pat.xxx :o)) A Maid of Kent, UK. www.lawrence.eastkentgenealogy.co.uk Thanks, everyone for your kind messages. Edda's funeral is tomorrow (Wednesday) so some warm supportive Trivvie vibes for Shona would help. ... Lizzie Subject: Re: [TRIVVIES] Sad News That's sad, Lizzie . . . so sudden, all feelings are left in turmoil. Hugs, Jennifer On News of a Friend's Sudden Death by Felix Dennis 2002 How thin the cloth, how fine the thread That cloaks the living from the dead; How narrowly, from breath to breath, We plait our rendezvous with death. How swift the tenant flees the gate; The landlord's writ, come soon or late, Foreclosing slum or stately hall, Hard Bailiffs at His beck and call. How feather-light the feeble spark That shields us from the greedy dark; Unjessed our souls like falcons fly! How weak the lure, how wide the sky! lizzie wrote: > Just had a call from my stepdaughter to say that her Mum (the first Mrs > Calar) died suddenly a few days ago. A ruptured aortic aneurism.
