Thread: Lost my Mum today

Sorry to hear mate, my thoughts are with you.

I am so very sorry to hear that..

sympathy from myself and my family.




You didn't die just recently,
You died some time ago.
Although your body stayed a while,
And didn't really know.

For you had got Dementia ,
You failed to comprehend.
Your body went on living.
But your mind had reached its end.

Those rare fleeting moments
When the twinkle of your eye
Let us know you saw "us"
Those days were for us a high.

So we've already said, "Goodbye",
To the person that we knew.
The person that we trully loved,
The person that was, "You".

And so we meet again today,
To toast your bodies end.
For it was true and faithful,
Until right at the end.

And so, when we remember,
We'll think of all the rest.
We'll concentrate on earlier,
And remember all the best.

For in the real scheme of things,
Your illness wasn't long.
Compared to all the happiness,
You brought your whole life long.

We think of you as yesterday,
When you were fit and well.
And when we're asked about you,
It's those things that we'll tell.

And so we meet in 'membrance,
Of a mind so fit and true.
We're here to pay our last respects
To say that, "We love you".

Sincerest condolences to you and yours, my Mum passed recently under similar circumstances, Regards Frank.

My sympathy. My mother went in similar circumstances about thirty years ago - but she had really been gone for several years before this.

Remember and cherish the good times.

Our deepest sympathies go out to you and yours from our family.

I offer my heartfelt condolance for your loss.
Please drink a little to remember her in better times, not a lot to forget her in bad times.

My sympathies. There's never a good time of year to lose a loved one. Cherish the happy memories you have of her, dementia is truly a cruel beast.
