For my dear freind, have fun at the Bridge M-A, you are a very special wonderful generous lady and I for one will miss you greatly xxxxx

At Rest

Think of me as one at rest,
for me you should not weep
I have no pain no troubled thoughts
for I am just asleep
The living thinking me that was,
is now forever still
And life goes on without me now,
as time forever will.

If your heart is heavy now
because I've gone away
Dwell not long upon it friend
For none of us can stay
Those of you who liked me,
I sincerely thank you all
And those of you who loved me,
I thank you most of all.

And in my fleeting lifespan,
as time went rushing by
I found some time to hesitate,
to laugh, to love, to cry
Matters it now if time began
If time will ever cease?
I was here, I used it all,
and now I am at peace.

Marie Anne was such a special lady with a huge heart made of gold. Her genuine nature and true love of animals, especially connected with rescue, was obvious for anyone to see.
I feel sad that Marie Anne had to endure her long illness, albeit she put on a brave face, and its some consolation that she no longer has to suffer and she can rest in peace.

I send My sincere and heartfelt sympathy to her family and her beloved fur babies ........ Another star shines in the sky tonight xxxx

I am so glad I got to know her through the dog forums. A truly lovely lady! Mary

Rest in peace Marieanne. An exceptionally kind, generous and caring lady. It was a pleasure getting to know you online in connection with quizzes and other rescue activities. I missed our online chats when illness returned to take you away from the rescue community.
My best wishes to your family and friends.

I'm not sure if anyone here will have received this message:
 
Marie-Anne wished that her passing should be marked by an occasion when friends could meet and exchange memories about her. To achieve this there will be a Cream Tea on the afternoon of June 20th. This will be an opportunity for people to come together and share in one of Marie-Anne’s favourite treats, and at a location which she visited often for dog walks. There will be no speeches or eulogies but we hope much conversation and the swapping of memories about Marie-Anne, especially between strangers who will have known Marie-Anne from different perspectives.
 
The Cream Tea will be at Dumbleton Hall Hotel, Dumbleton, Gloucestershire between 2:30 and 4:30. The Hotel is easily found and can be approached from the west via a turning from the A46 and from the east via a turning from the B4078. The postcode is WR11 7TS and the web site is www.dumbletonhall.co.uk.
 
Marie-Anne requested that people do not feel obliged to wear black or dark clothes, and that there should be no flowers. However, she would welcome donations in her memory to two Charities:
 
St Richard’s Hospice, Worcester (http://www.strichards.org.uk/)
 
and
 
Hearing Dogs for Deaf People (http://www.hearingdogs.org.uk/).
 
Marie-Anne supported many different charities but Hearing Dogs came closest to combining her interests in the worlds of sound and of dogs. St Richard’s provided marvellous support for Marie-Anne throughout her illness.
 
Please send donations to:
Co-operative Funeral Care
30 Swan Lane
Evesham
Worcestershire WR11 4PD.
 
Also please let Co-operative Funeral Care know if you will be coming to the Cream Tea, to ensure that there are enough scones and a large enough bowl of Cream! They can be contacted at [e-mail] or phoned on 01386 446188.
 
 Please also pass these details of the Cream Tea to any mutual friends of Marie-Anne’s -


IF ANYONE CAN PASS THIS MESSAGE ON TO OTHER FRIENDS OF MARIE -ANNE, HER HUSBAND, GRAHAM, WOULD BE GRATEFUL.
