Charlotte-Louise Purdy

Your life was love and labour, your love for your family true, you did your best for all of us we will always remember you. We did not see you close your eyes, we did not see you die, all we knew that you were gone, without a last goodbye. Your life was one of kindly deeds, sincere and true in heart and mind a helping hand for others needs, wonderful memories left behind. Your life touched so many others and will be remebered forever more, to leave the world a better place, than it had been before. Now your resting place we visit, we place some flowers with care, but no-one knows the heartache when we turn and leave you there.

ANGELS

May the angels keep you till morning.
May they guide you through the night.
May they comfort all your sorrows.
May they help you win the fight.

May they keep watch on your soul.
May they show you better ways.
May they guard you while you're sleeping.
May they see you through your days.

May they show you new hopes.
May they still your every doubt.
May they calm your every fear.
May they hear you when you shout.

May the angels keep you till morning.
More than this I cannot pray.
And if the angels ever fail you,
Then may God be there that day...

To Heather Purdy (Charlotte's mum)

Ask My Mum How Is She

My Mum, she tells a lot of lies
She never did before.
From now until the day she dies.
She'll tell a whole lot more.

She used to tell the truth, a lot
But now it doesn't matter.
I died and went to heaven,
Her life is all a-shatter.

Ask my Mum how is she.
She'll say, 'Yes, I'm fine!'
She wants to beg 'Please help me.
I can\'t find that girl of mine!'

Ask my Mum, how is she,
She'll say,'I'm alright.'
If that's the truth then tell me,
Why does she cry each night?

Ask my Mum, how is she,
She seems to cope so well.
She didn't have a choice, you see,
Nor the strength to yell.

You think you know the feeling,
But this cannot be.
For even though you loved me,
You didn't love as much as she.

She will smile and tell you,
'It's o.k. God has a plan.'
But she will turn away and cry
'Cause she just can't understand.

Tell a joke and she will laugh,
But she is not o.k.
She wants to share the joke with me,
But it will not be today.

I watch from here, in Heaven.
Her distress disturbs my peace.
Will someone please take care of her,
And thus take care of me?

'Some day you will feel better.'
'Yes I will.' she lies.
She knows this will not happen,
Until the day she dies.

'I was so lucky!
I had her all those years!'
(They passed in a minute,
I shed so many tears.)

Ask my Mum how is she,
She'll say, 'Thank you. Good.'
She cannot tell you how she feels.
Oh, how I wish she could.

Ask my Mum how is she,
'I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping.'
For God's sake, Mum, just tell the truth
Just say your heart is broken.

Ask my Mum how is she,
'I'm well, I'm good. And you?'
I'll shake my head in Heaven.
It simply isn't true.

She'll love me all her life.
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask how is she,
She'll lie and say she's fine.

Her carnival is over.
She's stepped off the carousel.
But, to save you feeling badly,
She'll say, 'Thanks, all is well.'

My Mum, she's not gone mad, yet.
But, oh so very nearly.
Don't ask my Mum how is she,
Ask how is she, really.

I am here in Heaven.
I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you, don't listen.
Hug her, hold her near.

On the day we meet again,
We'll smile and I'll be bold.
I'll say, 'You're lucky to get in here, Mum,
With all the lies you told!'

Michael Spalding November 23, 2008

As you release this butterfly in honour of me,
know that I'm with you and will always be.
Hold a hand, say a prayer, close your eyes and see me there.
Although you may feel a bit torn apart,
please know that I'll be forever in your heart.

Now fly away butterfly as high as you can go,
I'm right there with you more than you know.
xxxxx

Song by ABBA and recently sang on Mama Mia!

SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS

Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye
With an absent-minded smile
I watch her go
With a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes
Her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake
I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone
There's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt
I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
Well some of that we did
But most we didn't
And why I just don't know

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time


Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers -


Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

Love of ponies & dogs.

Charlotte, your love of miniature ponies will continue both in the hearts of your loved ones and with you up in heaven. My daughter Tamzin Spalding also lived for her ponies and showing them. You will meet Tamzin up in heaven and have a good friend with the same intense love of ponies and dogs. God bless you Charlotte. - from Michael XXXXXXX
