Five Happy People

My sister Jean (b 1939)  died on 17th June 2023

Her funeral service was on 19th July 2023

The service included a Power Point presentation featuring Jean with her husband John their children and family members throughout  her years.

John sent me the Power Point file.  One picture "leaped out", and made me happy.  I froze the presentation and took a photo' of a photo'.



It was taken some seven years ago in Sarasota. Back row l-r;  My sister Maureen and her husband Bernard; my brother in law John and Jean.

We'd eaten at a Siesta Key restaurant called "Turtles on the Bay"  On our way out I asked an in-coming restaurant guest to snap us.   He did a good job.

In the face of my sadness at Jean's death  I love this reminder of happier days.

I could have taken him home for what would have been his last two to three possible miserable days but I  decided to say goodbye to Zion there and then.  I stayed with him to the end at 2:00 p.m. I am in shock.  I am grateful for six fantastic years together.  I rejoice that he brought joy to so many people. His remains will be returned to me to be buried near my home, with a flowering shrub planted over them. Thanks for your care John Michael Povey Hello Michael,   I will show you the images when you arrive but essentially what we see on the CT is that he has multiple masses on his spleen and several in his lungs, additionally he has flui

Utterly Wonderful

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. Cousins, second cousins, third cousins A joyful and relaxed family reunion. Super food. Great food for children with activities for them too, including face painting. This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.
