Funeral sorted

[saundra]

Debih when Bill died I made both the boys a memory box
Of some of his things
Cuff links his toffee hammer he loved thorntons toffee
And stuff
Perhaps when the time is right you can do the same
I brought two lovely plain pine treasure chest boxes on e bay
Like pirate chests only small just the right size to put on a dressing table

What a lovely idea, Sandra.

Reading this thread has made my eyes all wet.

[saundra]

ho cheer up aggers
we all hold memories in our hearts you know
have a hug

On Wednesday when I started to talk to her about it she told me that she didn't need to be sad and miss Grandad as he was in her doggy and she could (and does) talk to him whenever she wants. And that the best thing was that the doggy has eyes so Grandad can see her again. That made me sob!

Lord that would have set me off as well ((((hug))))

And me!!.

Glad you have sorted everything out now Debih. It seems such a daunting task before you start.

That is lovely Saundra and Debih what a beautiful thing for her to say. Will your mum keep your dad's canaries or will they come to you?

I am glad she has decided to spend Christmas with you. Her being on her own would have worried you so much

[debih]

Mum will keep the canaries MM.

I don't want the noisy, messy things!

[JoM]

We inherited Joey, my Granddad's Greenfinch, when he died. He wasn't especially messy but he was loud! Lovely little thing he was though.

I've only just read this, deepest sympathy to you and your family Debih.
