Belated Thanks

Eric wants to thank every-one in the village who helped to make Lizzie's last day such a special one, your thoughtfulness, kindness, and generosity made an impossible situation not only bearable, but uplifting. We got together to give our lovely Girl a belting sendoff

Lizzie's Party 9/05/2008

Everyone who was there will remember the Funeral and Party as a time of real magic.

The church was packed, and as many were in the sunshine in the churchyard, and able to join in the occasion thanks to the brilliant sound system set up and operated by Mark Travers.

Now Lizzie is at rest in the company of Jackie. and Mhaire , and a visit is recommended to appreciate the beauty of her gravesite.

To all Lizzie's friends in Chearsley and area

Her Mother, Lily, and all Lizzie's family want you to know how deeply touched we were by the thought, time and caring generosity of the villagers of Chearsley in organising her farewell party.

It was a memorable if sad occasion but it is a great comfort to us to know she is in your lovely churchyard surrounded by so much love.

We can't thank you all enough.

Love from
Lizzie's family
