Tuesday 15th October
Katy told her children
that Pete is now an orphan. They were
very sad for him that his mummy had died, so she asked Leo and Eva what they
might do or say to make him feel better.
After much thought…
Eva (5): I
could say, Hey Pete! Do you want to come
to a disco?
Leo (7): Pete! I have only eaten half this apple! Would you like the rest of it?
The funeral was
amazing, and totally wonderful… Two hundred and forty people attended – that is
A LOT for a 94 year old person, most of whose contemporaries are no longer able
to attend funerals… The chairs were draped with blankets Pam had created…The
ones here only represented a fraction of the ones she had made over her long,
productive life.
Each of her children
spoke, most eloquently,
and then a representation of grandchildren from each family, followed by one grandchild
from each family branch.
The basic theme
was… love… Pam was above all a generous,
kind and loving person – hence 240 people at Turnbulls…
