You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Love you to the moon and back. Shine your light down on us Granny as we remember you and keep your love close to our hearts. Always... xxxooo
I had the pleasure of doing Frances' hair at Lynde Creek Manor, she was a pleasure to be with and I enjoyed her company. She will be greatly missed, my prayers to her family.
Now there's a tear in my eye
And I'm wondering why for it should not be there at all
I still hear your sweet laughter so never a teardrop should fall
Like a fairy song as your Irish eyes twinkled so bright
They showed me your love, your wisdom and light
So now I give you a smile, a smile I give you with love
Until we see each other again with God in heaven above.
So when your Irish eyes were smiling, it was like the morn in Spring
In the lilt of your Irish laughter I can hear the angels sing
Now I know your Irish heart is happy
And again the world is bright and gay
In heaven your Irish eyes are smiling
And they will always steal my heart away.
Love Michael
