As another year draws to a close we sadly have to leave some loved-ones behind. 2022 seems to be quite a cruel year taking away some amazing people. My condolences to you and your loved ones if this is applies to you. With many notable deaths in the public eye I decided to make a memorial so that they can be remembered.
Unfortunately, this did apply to us and the youngest two of our boys attended their first funeral.

Sending love and hugs.
I think the Queens death affected everyone even if they weren’t fans of the Royal Family. I think the one’s which shocked me the most were Robbie Coltrane’s and Meat Loaf. x
That really is an incredible number of deaths in 2022. The one which affected me most, apart from the Queen of course, was Cherry Valentine, because she was only 28.
Cherry’s death was sad and preventable and sadly not the only young person who cried out for help and didn’t get it. Thinking of my blogger friend, Lisa and the loss of her 19 Yr old son. 🙁
Sorry your boys had to attend their first funeral this year Joy x
Thank you, and sorry for your loss too xx
