This morning My Beloved was not breathing well, so I laid my head alongside hers and told her how much I loved her and that it was time for her to let go and she could go with my blessing. Just go, Darling, just let go. Jesus will be waiting for you. Go, Iddles, go. A half minute later, she left us to be with Our Father in Heaven.
To all who are fortunate enough to have known My Beloved, you all know that she was the backbone, the strength, and the heart of our family. And of our business.
For 77 years, she loved me, helped me, encouraged me, and supported me.
She was the love of my life. She was my forever best friend.
She was a shining example of motherhood to our 5 children and so many others who looked to her for guidance, advice, and love. She will be living on in the tender hearts of all of our grandchildren; of whom she was so deeply proud.
She volunteered for a local church. 13 years as treasurer, and 20 years as treasurer for an adult education board. And for ever helped where needed, particularly with children.
Thank you, God, for showing me those lovely legs which caught my eye on a Youth Group dance floor 77 years ago.
To My Darling Beryl, My Beloved, My Iddles, I love you. Carry my love with you in your heart as I will carry you in mine until we meet again.
Love, your Mebbles xo
