The obituary notice of Luciane MURFITT

1st June

"This is what we dream about all through the winter gloom.
The good and golden season when the roses are in bloom.
When ramblers cover fence and wall, and bushes in the bed
glow in lovely tones of yellow, white and pink and red."

The River Bank

"The Rat said nothing, but stooped and unfastened a rope and hauled on it; then lightly stepped into a little boat which the Mole had not observed. It was painted blue outside and white within, and was just the size for two animals; and the Mole's whole heart went out to it at once, even though he did not yet fully understand its uses.

The Rat sculled smartly across and made fast. Then he held up his fore-paw as the Mole stepped gingerly down. 'Lean on that!' he said. 'Now then, step lively!' and the Mole to his surprise and rapture found himself actually seated in the stern of a real boat.

'This has been a wonderful day!' said he, as the Rat shoved off and took to the sculls again. 'Do you know, I've never been in a boat before in all my life.' "

1st May

"The new-born lamb, the fledgling bird,
the buttercup, the honey bee.
The pregnant earth, the greening wheat,
the flush of bloom on bush and tree.
Once again the flowers are blowing
and the songbirds call their mates.
Spring returns in all its glory.
Man destroys and God creates."

Easter Day - The Resurrection

"...and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marvelling at what at happened."

Luke 24:9-12 (ESV)
