Flo May Smith Nee Hodgetts

Broken hearts and shattered dreams,
Life torn apart at its seams.
Hearts and minds in pain and sorrow,
Missing you more, today, tomorrow.
Time can't heal and words won't mend,
The loss we feel at this sad end.
However long 'till we meet again,
You'll be remembered , but until then,
We wait with hope within in our hearts,
We'll be together, no more to part.

LOTS OF LOVE AND HUGS TO A VERY SPECIAL ANGEL

We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
As time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.

SHINE THAT BEAUTIFUL LIGHT OF YOURS ON YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO LOVE AND MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH.

This was written by a friend of ours and was given to me for Rebecca.
I hope in some way it brings you a little comfort.


If I should pass before you,
At my graveside do not cry.
Just like the love between us,
My true self will never die.

Do not trail with endless flowers,
What was buried is just a shell.
My Spirit will be free,
In that Summerland I will dwell.

I’ll visit you with the morning sunbeams
That through your curtains sneek,
And just before you wake,
I’ll place a kiss upon your cheek.

I’ll mingle with the raindrops
That run softly down your face,
And feel myself against your skin
Just like we would embrace.

I’ll join in with the laughter
that brightens up your day,
And when you’re feeling sad,
I’ll wipe you tears away.

So if I pass before you,
At my graveside do not cry.
Just like the love between us,
My true self will never die.

♥ I asked God for a flower, He gave me a garden.
♥ I asked God for a tree, He gave me a forest.
♥ I asked God for a river, He gave me an ocean.
♥ I asked God for the world, He gave me you.
♥ My heart is lost to you, always and forever.

MISSING YOU

They say that there’s a reason.
They say that time will heal.
But neither time nor reason
Will change the way we feel.

For no one knows the heartache
that lies behind our smiles.
No one knows how many times
we have broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something,
so there won't be any doubt.
You're so wonderful to think of
but so hard to be without.

We cannot bring the old days back
when we were all together.
The family chain is broken now
but memories live forever.

GOD BLESS

THINKING OF FLO

You’ll cry a thousand teardrops.
You’ll miss her every day.
The Mum whom you’ve loved all your life
Has sadly gone away.

But as your sorrow lessens
And when your tears have dried,
You’ll realise that throughout your life
She’ll always be your Guide.

You’ll think about her every day.
That will never cease.
May her memory warm your heart
And may she rest in peace.

WITH MUCH LOVE

Wise Men Say

•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~•◘♥○~

Wise men talk of worlds beyond
Worlds beyond our eyes,
A wondrous place of love and peace
To which the spirit flies.
Wise men say we come again
To live another span,
That death is just a stepping stone
A pause within the plan.
Mystics say that many lives
Are needed to ensure,
A perfect understanding
Of God's eternal law.
Wise men say with smiling eyes
Our lives are but a dream,
A brief illusion clothed in flesh
A role within a scheme.
Wise men say that nothing dies
It only changes form,
That life goes on despite the myth
We perish in death's storm.
So when our loved ones pass away
Let hope replace our pain,
Have faith and trust that God ensures
We shall all meet again.

(Alan Pemberton)

FROM FLO TO HER LOVING FAMILY

I stood by your bed last night.
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying and you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
“It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here”.
I was close to you at breakfast
as I watched you pour the tea.
You were thinking of the many times your hands reached out to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, oh I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, “it's me”.
You looked so very tired as you sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was really there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty “I never went away”.
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say “goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the morning”.
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll once more stand side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me

A loving Mother most sincere,
Loved by all she knew,
She loved us all so very dear
And we all loved her too.

But God in his mercy will give us hope,
And help us bear the strain,
Of the one we cherished, loved and lost
To meet in Heaven again.

As we look upon her picture,
Sweet memories we recall
Of a face so full of sunshine,
And a smile for one and all.

Sweet Angels take this message,
To our dear Flo up above;
Tell her how we miss her
And give her all our love.

As the sun came up this morning,
I watched you there below.
Your heart seemed oh so heavy,
But there’s something you should know.
I’m not gone, don’t worry,
I’m just a step ahead.
And I’m with you every single day
As you rise up from your bed.
I am the sun that warms you,
I am the moon’s soft glow,
I am the stars that twinkle
And lights your path below.
So when at times you miss me,
Just look for me, I’m there.
For you cannot hide my spirit,
It is with you everywhere.
