DENNIS
JONES
I had no idea that my life would change so much in such a
short time. Nothing really worked out as I had planned
and now I have to live my life without the two people most
precious to all of us, our parents. I have spoken about
my mother before so this is about my father.
I went on parades with him when I was in my pram, he worked
so hard to bring me up well and taught me the value
of the things that count, and as far as I know never had an
unkind word to say about anyone and never raised his voice
in anger. A gentle man.
This is to say a very big thank you to everyone who supported
me at the funeral (and before). My Royal British Legion
Friends helped out with the ceremonial, the club provided
all the services free of charge. The collection raised
£263.71 for the poppy appeal.
To use a well known phrase, when you enter a tunnel the darkness
seems never ending, but there is always bright light awaiting
you at the end of the journey.
That I suppose is the process of death, and also the result
for those left behind.
