Rest in Peace Papa Francesco.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteous-ness For His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;
For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is
the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now, and at the hour of our death.
Amen

Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.
Amen

A Mother’s Love, Forever Near

On this day of love and grace,
We celebrate the warm embrace
Of mothers here, so kind and true,
And those beyond our earthly view.

For every hug, for every cheer,
For whispered words we still hold dear,
A mother’s love will never fade,
A light that time cannot evade.

Though some now rest beyond our sight,
Their love still lingers, shining bright.
In gentle winds, in morning’s glow,
In memories that soothe and flow.

We hear their laughter in the trees,
Their whispered comfort on the breeze.
A guiding hand, though not in view,
Still leads us as they used to do.

So on this day, we smile and say,
“Happy Mother’s Day” your way.
For love like yours, so deep, so strong,
Will live in us our whole lives long.

On Valentine’s Day, we feel the ache,
For those we've lost, for old memories’ sake.
The hearts we loved, now far away,
But in our minds, they’re here to stay.

Though time has passed, their love remains,
In quiet moments, through joy and pains.
The laughter shared, the hand to hold,
Their warmth still with us, though the years grow cold.

So on this day, we pause to say,
We miss you more than words can convey.
Your love still lingers, soft and true,
Forever in our hearts, forever with you.

To those who’ve passed, you’re never far,
Guiding us still, like a shining star.
We carry you with us, day by day,
In every thought, in every prayer we say.

Wishing peace to all who grieve today,
You are loved, in every way.

Remembering Sophie Today and Sending Love to Emma and Family.

In the garden of memories, where time gently weaves,
A year has passed, yet your presence still breathes.
Though you left too soon, your spirit's light shines bright,
In every fleeting moment, in the stars of the night.

A year of echoes, of laughter and tears,
Of cherished memories, treasured through the years.
Though your absence is felt, your love remains near,
In whispered words and memories dear.

As seasons change and life's pathways wind,
Your memory endures, forever enshrined.
Though you journeyed on to a realm unseen,
In our hearts, you reside, forever young and serene.

Remembering those who have fallen for our country today, along with all those lost to conflicts taking place in our world.

Rest in Peace x

With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.

Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres,
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.

But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.

Rest in Peace - Sir Michael Gambon

You will always be remembered as Dumbledore from our childhood memories of Harry Potter.

A few of my favourite Dumbledore quotes.

"It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness. Nothing more."

"To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."

"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."

"You think the dead we loved truly ever leave us? You think we don't recall them more clearly in times of great trouble?"

Parents should never have to lay their children to rest, but for many this is the sad reality. Today is National Bereaved Parents Day, set out to try and support the parents who have lost a child. Having dealt with many bereaved parents, it is unimaginable what they go through. Most recently we helped support the families of Sophie Fletcher and Arlo Bennett. We always will remember your loved one, but we will ensure that we look after the bereaved too. Thinking of you all on this day.

Rest in Peace - Sophie
