With love from her mum and dad and sister Karen xx From Angela Mary Stone Remembering my daughter, Marie- Claire, 1975-1986 Sweet melody song Miss the sound of your voice The hymns of your choice The choir song You enjoyed singing along The piano bar tune My child gone too soon Mum x Remembering my sister, Joanna, who died in 14.8.95. and my dear sister, Eileen, who died of cancer, 16.9.20. Also remembering dear Catharine Pointer, our former librarian, and her daughter, Rachel. My daughter, Marie Claire, was a choir girl and sang at Rachel’s funeral. They loved sunflowers, sisterhood, siblings. I want to be like a sunflower So that even in the darkest days of night, I will stand tall and find the sunlight. We will always remember them. And thinking of my surviving sister, Sharon, who is in remission after battling cancer. She is the author of ABC book of Flowers and Words for Cancer Research (in our TCF library).
