Compassion Magazine Winter 2022

Winter 2022 - Compassion | www.tcf.org.uk 25 From Lynda Tomlinson Remembering Gareth I cannot believe that on December 19th it will be 10 years since you died. I wish you had been able to conquer the alcohol addiction. We miss you and think of you, especially at this time of year. Since you've been gone my life has changed. It is stitched with a different thread. I have found some wonderful friends and shared some incredible times. But oh how I wish things were different. ‘Your absence has gone through me Like thread through a needle Everything I do is stitched with its colour’ Lynda, Gareth's Mum From Joy and David Rooke Remembering our beautiful Debbie (officially Deborah Joy Rooke) born on 22nd January 1982 and died on 13th April 2013 at 31 years after a tragic accident on 11th April. Cannot believe it's nearly 10 years since you left us. Amazing daughter and older sister and friend to Simon. Intelligent, adventurous, kind and caring, organized and friend to many. Lots of love forever from Mum and Dad (or as you called us Mother Joy and DR) May you glide to gentle evening soft light and troubles end, To rest that's undeceiving where your precious soul commends. May you Rise to hopeful mourning born like feathers on the breeze. Whilst the sun, the sky adorning, bathes your weary heart ❤ with ease. May you dwell in peace eternal. May the stars bejewel your way. May you know yourself BELOVED, till we hold your hand again ❤ ️ Love Always. We miss you so much ❤❤❤ Mum and Dad
