Tears flowed through my eyes the entire time I was reading the post on Christine’s service. Her family and friends have showcased the beauty of a very special woman. I hadm’t popped in on her blog from time to time and always found her posts to be wonderful. I wished I had known her more. She seemed like she was a lovely healing soul.
You were fortunate to have had her touch your life, Gilly.
May your memories of her keep you calm in your moments of sorrow.
Namaste ….
This is sad, but happy, a last farewell. An amazing tribute to a woman well-loved. ❤
So sad, but also beautiful. She will be terribly missed.
Such a beautiful ceremony, Gilly, I’m still processing the fact that Christine has moved on, it was all so sudden. Her family have been so unbelievably generous sharing their grief with us here in Christine’s online community and allowing us to be a part of celebrating her life. Sending you all my love and a big, virtual, healing hug. xxx Ailsa
Thanks for that Gilly. ❤
