The 30 years I spent with my darling wife Doreen came to an abrupt end on Sunday 27 January 2008. We met when I was at the lowest point in my life and she raised me up to see the sun and smile again. Whilst the pain of her loss is so difficult to bear I can still smile as I remember the wonderful life we have shared. Her vitality, independence, positive attitude in the face of adversity and strength of character coupled with her love of family and friends will be sorely missed.

I would like to thank most sincerely all those people family, friends and Doreen's ex-colleagues who have sent cards and letters of condolence. They have been an enormous support to me and only confirm the positive impact she had on everyone she met. My sincere thanks to all those who made donations at the church and direct to the funeral director. The Stroke Association will benefit from receiving a cheque for over £2000.

Doreen you were a sister both loving and true, we loved each other and I'm greatful we knew. We were not only sisters but also great friends, sisters by chance but friends by choice to the end. Now I've an emptiness deep inside with an ache in my heart that I cannot hide. I will keep you with me here in my heart and you will always be there where ever I go with your joy of life and your fabulous smile. I will try to carry on living life to the full but I know I can never get over loosing you. I miss you so much Doreen. Till I can hug you again, I cannot say good bye but will say see you later, good night and God Bless. Nancy

Friendship

There is a miracle called friendship
That dwells within the heart
And you don't know how it happens
or even when it starts
But the happiness it brings you
Always gives a special lift
And you realize that friendship
Is a very precious gift
Among life's precious jewels
Genuine and Rare
The one that we call friendship
Has worth beyond compare

'Genuine and Rare' that was you Doreen. Thank you for all the wonderful times we have had together. God bless.

Still with us

We are struggling to comprehend the reason for your passing and to express the depth of our sorrow and sense of loss. You were very special. We celebrate your life and the warmth, love and affection you gave to us all.
The following words may not be ours but they help convey our thoughts and give comfort you are still with us and will be always:
'We do not stand at your grave and weep, you are not there you do not sleep. You are the thousand winds that blow, you are the diamond glints in the snow, you are the sunlight on ripened grain, you are the gentle autumn rain.
When we awaken in the morning hush, you are the uplifting rush of the quiet birds in circled flight, you are the stars that shine at night.
We do not stand at your grave and cry, you are not there, you did not die.'
So many happy memories, Doreen, love Lesley, George and Family

Reflections

You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she's gone or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

For a very special lady who's smile and welcome made me feel at ease on my first day in a new job; something I've never forgotten and will remember always.
Namaste, Sue.

'Afterglow'
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways.
Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun.
Of happy memories that I leave when my life is done.

Doreen you were always such an incredible woman with such an amazing strength of character and positive outlook. Words can not express how much we will miss you. All of our love always Sue & Vic
