This afternoon we buried our mother.
Jackie photographed
the 11th century Norman church interior with its 14th century wall painting,
and its weathered gravestones outside. Becky can be seen in the first image.
Mum and Dad are united in the newer Catherington cemetery, where
Jackie photographed the floral tributes.
As always at funerals we met and reminisced with friends and relatives some of whom we had not seen for years, over such a finger food buffet at The Farmer Home as to dismiss any need for further sustenance this evening.

A beautiful tribute to a wonderful mother.

May your mother rest in peace. Funerals are such an appropriate time for sharing memories. I hope you found solace in sharing those memories
Yes, indeed. Thank you very much, Geetha.
Sorry to hear about your mother, Derrick. So nice that you were able to have a funeral. My sisters and I waited close to a year before we could have a celebration of my Dad’s life. Funerals really help to bring closure and be able to share stories with family and friends.
Thank you very much, Carol. That was a long wait. We were lucky ours was barely a month
