Thanks ladies for all your kind words for poppie, and myself and her two sons robert and lucien. I know you shared many of our daly troubles and joys for the last 4 or 5 years. Poppie this was a place she descovered becouse of her health problems at the time but quickly worked out that you didn't need her health problem to joine so thus allowed me to joine after poppie perswased me it be good and ok.

we both got to make many frends around the globe some we meet heer some in london, lola was a dear frend to poppie during her studies in london and when id visite a good frend to me aswell.

poppie had enough of her studies that we were in the process of seatling to weer we had to live next and to start her new bussness and a matter of weer to live best for lucien and also good for busness to be developed.

many women heer touched poppies hart and often we descuss our american and canadian frends many times when we were not just typing away too you all. Most of all anno adopting Lucien then adopting poppie as her adoptive mum from the states. She dearly enjoyed meeting anno and was sorrowfull if they were close and she could't meet them, like few mounths back for example. Poppie often be touched by many of the women heer mountain ash and eagle always had poems words of encouragement and a special softness for po and we all know she loved and needed that soft supporting love. for many years this was offered and recived by her and she emensly enjoyed that. I do hope many of her family not familure with this place get to know how much she was loved around the globe and of the runn up to the wedding and the exitment for that time " it was all about the dress" lol. Praying and knowing you all pray for whomever of her family and frends needed it when they were sick or worried or just hit a bumpy section to thir lives heer.

thanks on behalf of po for support through all the great days and all her sad days.

apart from those special times there was much to share daly untill live became too heactic.

At the end of po's life thir was some real happiness and exitment about new bussnesses becouse she had enough of studies to do so with real confidences in herself.

Po's very last day was an unusully happy and forwared looking one. i think one part of her soul knew what was going to happen later that day, together our day was very special.

about 10 years ago if you rember she suffored a brain bleed out...cousing an operation which saved her life. Unfortunitly the migranes returned and perhapps it was this problems reocurance that was to end poppies life. I found her on bed halfway through her nightly routine, watching tv. when i had finished my day, i went upstares with food and two decafinated cofes but sadly po has sudenly passed away. I though she fell asleep in an awkwared position. Hence noticing she was lying wrong, unfortunitly she had just passed and the ambulance men arrived to help but confirme she had indeed passed.

Robert is 24 and deeply saddended. Lucien is 6.5 and is still trying to hope, whish her back or ask the faries to bring her back. he's looking upon poppie and at times it seems its sinking in and other times he's lossing the concept becouse now thinks we can hold her in her home in belfast for some time to come. Unfortunittly for him and us all the cremitorium is today 1.30 afternoon our time, plse pray for poppie then and for the boys but especially for Lucien that he relises his love for his mum will go on but sadly she can not return.

he knows paulines spirite and soul is with god and what we have been doing now is getting poppies physical body ready to return to god also Hence the mass and wakes. this is our chance to say goodbye before we give poppies body to god. plse pray for all involved but a special one for lucien that he understands his mum is safe and his other mum is with god and he finds some peace eventualoly with this.

pauline heer in this room with me we have 3 hours before the undertakers arrive. the last all night wake and prayer vigiul is/was mine she was honered by many yesterday and last night

thanks for this thread and honerring poppies life this way. it good remberring the special times she spend heer and how much you all touched her hart.

after the cremitorium i am not sure what happens in life apart from we will all try to love our way around this time in our lifes and i belive it can be done and i am guiding Lucien as much and as carefully as i can. I also heer for robert for as much as he needs me. He is engaged and his new baby doughter was 7 weeks old yesterday. pauline felt great pride at this knowlage but considered herself a youn grannie at 42.

once again thanks for all this thread and everything you have done for poppie through many of her last years and trial and her joys. She missed dotsie very much but life was allways bussie and getting bussier.

plse escouse the duslecix spelling as usule.

many thanks and great love to you all
