Those of you who follow me on Facebook will know, for the rest of you, I am sad to say that the reason I haven't been posting much lately is that we have had a death in our family. My sister Mary passed away after a couple of months of illness and bouts of hospitalisation. Some of you may remember her from my posts; she loved to visit my horses. Here are some photos from the first time she met Beamer.
Mary had rubella as an infant and it left her permanently unable to speak or fend for herself. As I spent time with her in her last days I was overwhelmed by how much love surrounded her; from her care workers, friends and family, even the nursing staff at the hospital. Mary was a gentle soul who touched the hearts of many people.
Four sisters
I will get back to posting after the funeral
