what can I say about Irene,she was my foster mum,but soi very much like a mother to me.
I was placed with Irene when I was 13,I was at her house just a short time,filled with anger and hurt I was back then...but she loved me still.
When I was homeless and scared and I had just lost my son,she gave me a roof.
When I needed love and comfort she gave it,asking of nothign in return.
Always Irene knew what to say,always she listened and always she cared.
In the last 2 years we grew much closewr,it was hard to see her suffer so much,as I type I remember her talkling me...she asked God if he had cloth ears...
A beautiful sense of humour.
So strong and passionate,Irene saved my life physically,and then spiritually,Irene brought me to God,
her faith was and I believe still is unwavering.I believe life is eternal.

thankyou God for Irene
Thankyou for memories
Thankyou for those amazing hugs Irene
Thankyou for your patience and understanding
Thankyou for loving me unconditionally
Thankyou for the love you gave to the boys
Thankyou for the beautiful cards
Thankyou for giving

Holy spirit,live in my life
May I look for you everywhere
and may I open myself to you completely
Amen

love from neale

On this day of your life, amanda, I believe God wants you to know...
....that when a loved one leaves the body, it is a cause
for a genuine and special joy.

It can be difficult to experience this joy over the death of
a lovedone, and sadness is both perfectly natural and very
"okay." Yet know this: your Beloved is celebrating
Continuation Day. This is the most glorious experience you
could possibly imagine. It is, truly, heaven!

And there is this: You will once again reunite with the soul
of this loved one. Nor will you ever be separate even now,
for their Essence flies to you at your very thought of them. I
would not tell you this were it not true.


Love, Your Friend....

love

Love is patient and kind
love is not jealous or boastful
it is not arrogant or rude
Love does not insist on its own way
it is not irritable or resentful
it does not rejoice at wrong
for it knows there is no such thibg as right or wrong.
love bears all things
knows all things
endures all things
yet forgives nothing
and no one needs to be forgiven
love never ends.
live in faith,hope and love
the greatest of these is love.
spread it,share it,be it
and yours will be the light
that can truely light up the world.
