When he read the births, marriages and deaths my dad used to say "isn't it funny how everyone is born and dies in alphabetical order?"
Most of us buy a newspaper - today when you read yours, read the death notices and as you do, say a prayer for each of the families of those who have died. Their names will be mentioned in the notices.
It'll help those you don't even know.

ReplyDeleteI really like your photo of teh poppies.
Well said Susan and will, although I suppose I do think of all the families etc when I read the deaths. I am supposed to read them everyday to keep an eye that everything has been registered...but sometimes it is hard. Im still laughing at your Dad saying about the alphabetical order...how true! x
