These are a few pictures taken of Lizzie's garden before the funeral and during and just after the wake. The saddest thing was that Lizzie would have enjoyed the party and the crack, I raise a glass to you Lizzie!
A tree was planted in her memory on her dad's farm and her ashes were scattered in Dunstanburgh Castle where she played as a child and in view of the family home.
Pip and I found this anonymous Indian prayer which was read when they planted the silver birch;
When I am dead
Cry for me a little
Think of me sometimes
But not too much
Think of me now and again
As I was in life
At some moments its pleasant to recall
But not for long.
Leave me in peace
And I shall leave you in peace
And while you live
Let your thoughts be with the living
Lizzie loved her music and:
'Girl from the north country' by Bob Dylan with Johnny Cash
'Ripple' by Grateful Dead
'Days' by the Kinks
were played at the funeral
We also sang 'You'll never walk alone'
