It was my birthday yesterday, everything was great, till last night when a phone call came to say one of my sisters had past away, she was 74, and lived in nottinghamshire, you know i dont know if any of you remember, but sometime last year, i decided to get on a bus go over to Derbyshire to see some of my sisters, with some help from one of my sons who lives in chesterfield where i stayed for a couple of days, where i met up with some of my sisters, but my son took us all to cambridge for us to see my eldest sister, although there was 8 girls then there was only 6 of us left, but it was the first time in quite a few years that we all sat having a cupper, oh how pleased i am that i took that bus that day, as on friday we will be together again, but for the wrong reasons, now there is only 5 of us left of 8, its a bit frightening, mind you my eldest sister is 79 and is as fit as a fiddle, she can still do the splits. any way will see you all in a few days time.

I am so sorry to hear that sad news, Clarice. I'm sure it's a comfort that you did see her that last time.

Take care - we will all be thinking of you.

I would say many happy returns, but it wouldn't be right, would it?

So sorry to hear this news Clarice and a reunion under such conditions will not be a happy occasion but may strengthen the links between you .Much like the coach trip did when you went to Cambridge.

Thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Sorry to hear your news Clarice. It's always so sad for a family as the members pop off to the Garden in the Sky at intervals. It's the sort of thing that makes us all think of our own mortality .... but, there's life ahead. Enjoy it! Best wishes x x x
