To Those I Love by Isla Paschal Richards: If I should ever leave you whom I love to go along the Silent Way, grieve not, nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk of me as if I were beside you there, (I'd come... I'd come, could I but find a way! But would not tears and grief be barriers?) And when you hear a song or see a bird I loved, please do not let the thought of me be sad... For I am loving you just as I always have... You were so good to me! There are so many things I wanted still to do... So many things to say to you... Remember that I did not fear... It was just leaving you that was so hard to face... We cannot see beyond... But this I know; I loved you so... 'Twas heaven here with you!

There will be a celebration of life for the family and friends at a later date. Online memories and tributes can be sent to the family at: www.HolbrookMortuary.com
