RIP Dizzi

God Bless Gwen... <3

Been thinking about Gwen and her family today and hope that her send off went ok for her loved ones

We have lost 2 family members in the last 8 months so know the stress and heartbreak it is for all the family

I was lucky to meet Gwen on several occasions and her hubby too on one occasion when he came to fetch her from one of the London meets

It's a very sad day for family to say their final farewells .

RIP Gwen/Dizzi a very dear funny ,vibrant lady xxx

Have been thinking about Dizzi and especially today. Hope her send off went okay for
all her family and friends, today.

RIP Dizzi. xx

Today I was honoured to join Dizzi’s family, neighbours & friends celebrating her life.
I managed to sing most of ‘Morning has Broken’, but whilst listening to Eva Cassidy sing ‘Somewhere over the Rainbow’ & looking at that ‘box thingy’ with the trees & flowers my eyes did water rather badly. The celebrant was talking about someone called Gwendoline Margaret, but it was Our Dizzi’s story, he had been pointed towards the GR thread & several postings were read out.
I met many who I only knew as names, it was good to put faces to those names. (Even the one who thought I was not real, just a cardboard cut out)I was amazed at how her elder Grandchildren had grown since I last saw them & meet little Maisie.
God Bless Dizzi, now residing over that rainbow.

Gone but never forgotten, Gwen, such a special person.

Still very much on my mind today as yesterday sinks in.

I'm back from saying my last words to a very good friend.
I know Dizzi would be very proud of her family & friends today. It was just the way Dizzi would have wanted to be.


The service was lovely & could not have been any better than it was. While trying to be strong for another person, I confess I had tears in my eyes a couple of times.
I would like you to know, that some of the postings from this thread, were read out in a short part of the service, & it was said we are all sad & will all miss Dizzi very much not only as a friend but also a well thought of genealogist who was known in other countries as well as this one. Dizzi had loads of wonderful flowers attributed to her with some really lovely messages from people.

Thank you to all who have posted here & will continue to do so, it has not gone unnoticed by Paul & the rest of his family & friends. I know it has comforted them to know we all thought so well of Dizzi

I agree with all PricklyHolly said, & yes the sun shone down on Dizzi today & it's only right it did.

It was nice to see Dizzi's family, Stu, Carol P & PricklyHolly

Gwen will never be forgotten in this household she was indeed a very good friend to both of us, & will be missed very much.

Good night my friend

Thank you BlackKnight for sharing details of lovely Dizzi's funeral service with us all.

Very many members upheld Dizzi, her family and friends in thought and prayers yesterday. It was thoughtful of you and others who managed to be in church to post details to share with everyone back on the GR threads.

Brave, funny, kind Dizzi, will be remembered with great fondness always xxx

I posted on PatrickM's thread as I know the family are following that one.

Me too, it was very nice to meet you P.H. I wish it could have been under happier circumstances.

Please pass on my regards to Carla, Ron.

She must be feeling really sad that she wasn't able to make it yesterday. :-(

I hope she is feeling better today.
