I'm so sorry to hear of your sad loss, Chris.
A source of help to us in times of grief, tears will come when they're ready, and sometimes when you least expect them.

Big hole there now Chris.

There had to come a time when you didn't do everything at the same time and let us hope this is it.

When my mate from school died, it somehow made death a lot less frightening. She had done it so it wasn't going to be that bad.

It was the only comfort I could find and you will find something just as surprising.

Have a good cry when you can, and plenty of tea.

Our friendship began 60 years ago and ended this morning. Last night I kept wakening and going down memory lane so was not that surprised that Maggie had gone ahead. It was strange the way at times we would find that even though hundreds of miles separated us, we were doing the same thing - even one day to cleaning our ovens. That really tickled us for some reason.

Our first two pregnancies were weeks apart - her third time - I told her she was on her own. She had the twins the first time - mine was a false alarm. She rang to say her daughter was pregnant, I said snap and a few minutes later the voice asked 'what did you say'? We both had been told the previous night.

Her mother 'adopted' me when I was 38! Told everyone about her other daughter and was here for two week stays two or three times a year when Maggie would ring and say 'it's time you had our mother'.

Last time we spoke was my son's birthday 30 July when she was laughing heartedly at the unsigned note accompanying the flowers he sent her on that day.

I know she will not want flowers but many many moons ago, Maggie said that she would like to be buried in a bluebell wood with a tree above her.

I am going to buy some trees from The Woodland Trust who are planting a new forest in her county. Perhaps they will have bluebells also.

Love you Maggie, I shall miss you as will OH, son dau. and g.children who have always known you as Auntie Maggie. Known only to my family as Maggie but that is another story. <3 <3 <3 <3 :-(
