Poem Miss Me... A couple of people have asked about this poem from mums service, I am not sure whether the writer/poet is completely correct - but as it was passed to me is:- Miss Me But Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom-filled room Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little-but not too long And not with your head bowed low Remember the love that we once shared Miss me-but let me go For this is a journey that we all must take And each must go alone. It's all part of the Master's plan A step on the road to home When you are lonely and sick of heart Go to the friends we know And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds Miss me but let me go. Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti

I have lots of fond memories of Liz. Probably the earliest is of my sister Rachel, Sarah, Mary, myself and Liz squeezing into her little green Fiat car to go to and from swimming lessons in Bletchley. Another favourite is when I cut Mary's hair. I thought I had done such a wonderful job, however Liz didn't agree!! I can't understand why! I remember Mary and I would always get ourselves into lots of situations, including running away once. All the way from Townsend Close to Joa Stonors house, next to the Carpenters Arms. We were going to live in her garden. Neil and my Dad were in so much trouble, as they were meant to be looking after us, and didn't even notice we were missing for a while! The Lavenders house was a home from home when we were growing up, and I will always remember Liz with affection and someone who was always there for me. More recently with a glass of red wine and a ciggie, but ALWAYS a smile. Rest in Peace Liz, you were loved and will be missed. X Hannah and family. X
