Shortly after 8:00pm this evening Nancy quietly left us. It was painless, quick, and quiet.
So many people have been so wonderful over the past three weeks. I hope to thank you all individually in due time.
Mum was very reticent to dictate or request anything be done after her death, with one exception. She asked that everyone cheer. She wanted us all to raise our arms and cheer for her. She led a wonderful life and is to be congratulated. Please give her a cheer.
Thank you all. I'm sure we'll speak again soon.
Much love

I did do my best to cheer as Nancy requested but I have to confess that it was a little muted. We can all be so proud of the way that Nancy dealt with the situation and there is a lesson for us all there. My thoughts are with all of you.
ReplyDeleteI had ordered a plant for my garden and I intend to put a small plaque on it in Nancy's memory. I think Proust's words are probably the best "Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom"
All my love
