My sister, Nannie and me
Nannie
11 October 1927 - 5 October 2008
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not for long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that once we shared
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It’s all part of the master plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know.
Laugh at all the things we used to do
Miss me, but let me go.

Oh Lucy,
thinking of you, & grieving for your loss & sadness. Remember the happy times & that good, kind, loving heart; & hopefully you will smile through the sorrow.
Nannie’s words will whisper through the years to you, she’ll always be close no matter what. Death is simply the closing of one chapter as the page turns to the mysterious next….
Condolences from the (subdued) ‘Funny Ffarm’.
