Dear Rachel,
May the love of God give you peace.
May the love of friends give you comfort.
May the love of your beloved Beki remain in your heart and give you strength through the days ahead.
Lots of love.

Hello Rachel,
Perhaps you don’t know but it’s National Poetry Day today so I thought I would do something a little different and let you read a poem which Rebecca wrote when she was 7 years old. Poetry was something very close to Rebecca’s heart and she had written and read poetry since being a young girl.
Her Teacher at Junior School asked the kids to write a poem about a part of their body and this is what she wrote.
Hope you enjoy it!
SKIN
On our bodies there are two layers of skin,
one layer is fat and one layer is thin.
Our skin starts to stretch when our bones start to grow
and goosepimples come when the wind starts to blow.
Some skin is yellow, some skin is white,
some skin is dark and some skin is light.
Our nails are a skin, a special kind too;
I have got them and so have you.
But it doesn’t really matter what colour your skin;
It’s not whats on the outside but what is within.

Dear Rachel,
Outside it may be dark and dreary,
The clouds dull and grey.
The rain just keeps on coming.
No flowers to pick for a bouquet.
But as long as we have computers
And an email I can send,
You’ll always have sunshine
My dear GTS friend.

THINKING OF BEKI
You’ll cry a thousand teardrops.
You’ll miss her every day.
The one that you’ve loved all your life
Has sadly gone away.
But as your sorrow lessens
And when your tears have dried,
You’ll realise that throughout your life
She’ll always be your Guide.
You’ll think about her every day.
That will never cease.
May her memory warm your heart
And may she rest in peace.
WITH MUCH LOVE
