I got up early for Lize's funeral, I heard aunt Joan moving about. I didn't sleep very well last night, we all dreaded today
Put on navy blue trousers & wore a dark jacket, told to leave my hat behind. Drove about 30 mins to the cremetorium, the wind farms remind me of Cornwall. Lots of Eddie Stobart lorries based in Rugby, the crem overlooks countryside.
Lots of people arrived I didn't know, Karl & David were already there. It was freezing, knew I should have bought gloves. I saw Wendy who is Lizzie's best friend, I feel sorry for her as it's her father's funeral next week; must be awful for her poor thing
We waited in the lounge while the staff got ready, then the Hearst arrived. They played Planet Earth by Duran Duran, & Clocks by ColdPlay plus Ray of light by Maddona.
Karl had produced a video showing her life, I'm so proud of him. I gave him a journal so he can write his thoughts in, I had mine when I was 14. What I'm writing here is a journal in a way 🙂
Went to the Rugby railway club for the wake, met two nice ladies who work at Asda. I didn't eat much, aunt Joan and Alan took some back. Took back a scone, tried hard not to get it all over Alan's car.
Carol & Christopher came back with us, sat in the middle at the back. It rained this afternoon while the sun was still shining, someone's drain was leaking badly. Aunt Joan when she came back from Carol's, said there had been a rainbow.
Sad day today, they read a poem called she is gone, she is but only from the earth plain.
