This day is my remembrance day. This day I recall the names and the faces. Not twisted dead faces, but laughing live faces. The living faces. Faces of friends now long gone.
Over the years I have lost others. Some to illness. Some by their own hand.
Today I remember them all.
No-one really dies until their name is forgotten. So, as I’m the last, it’s down to me to do the remembering.

They would be proud of you Way, well Done.
Those we carry in our hearts and in our thoughts are always with us. I too will remember their names and as long as I am able, I will tell tales of their adventures so that after me they will continue to live on. Keep up the fight Way, your not alone.
They will not grow old as we who are left grow old
Age will not weary them nor the years condemn,
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them. We will remember them
So sorry way, and yes they are always in ours hearts xxx
Way, I hope you celebrate the life and laughter as you remember it but of course mingled with the sadness and pain that goes the whole process of losing friends and loved ones.- however you chose to. Nobody is ever dead if they are not forgotten.x
I echo jojo’s words – we will remember them – sorry for your losses Way xoxox
There is nothing more I can add.
