At
the end of the funeral celebration I invited everyone to come back to
pour home for a garden party. At funerals this is a courtesy often
extended to those who have come to bid farewell to the person at the
centre of the service but it is seldom taken up. The sun was shining
and an estimated one hundred and twenty people came to Rebekah's
party.
We
had asked friends to bring cakes to the party. More than one thousand
cakes were brought by friends, so many of them in Sheffield Wednesday
white and blue. There were so many left after the party we took them
to Milton Keynes Hospital where the senior management took them round
to patients in the wards. A thank you from Rebekah to our Amazing,
Wonderful, Beautiful, Loving National Health Service which does not
treat its patients but cares for them.
We
decorated the garden with an abidance of flowers purchased from the
local garden centre, all were blue and white.
I
found our local Poundshop was selling blue and white owls in the
shape of bells. I grabbed every singe one from the shelves and placed
them round the garden for the party.
The
sun shone brightly throughout the party as it took Rebekah's Smile to
new places.
