A friend is like a flower,
a rose to be exact,
Or maybe like a brand new gate
that never comes unlatched.
A friend is like an owl,
both beautiful and wise.
Or perhaps a friend is like a ghost,
whose spirit never dies.
A friend is like a heart that goes
strong until the end.
Where would we be in this world
if we didn't have a friend.
XXX Thank you for your very valued friendship and all the support and tributes you leave on Rebecca’s site. Everything is very much appreciated and makes a great difference. XXX
FRIENDSHIP
Friends are the people we’re happy to know
And even prouder to tell them so.
The time has come round
When I get chance to send
A loving wish to a very special friend.
You’re someone I can really trust
And on whom I can rely
And your loyalty has meant a lot
Throughout the months gone by.
For never once in all this time
Have you fallen short
Of being truly helpful and giving your support.
There are so many reasons that I could surely give
Why you’re a very special friend
That I’m glad to spend time with.

Hello Toni,
Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for the lovely comments you have put on Rebecca's site and for your Husband's comments as well.
Things have been quite difficult this month as it has been Rebecca's anniversary but because of the nature of events, it is not just that one day but others - the day her body was found, the day he was charged etc - nothing ever leaves your mind. However, it is the kindness of people like yourselves which makes the difficult days just a little easier to bear.
THANK YOU.
P.S. "Becky's Legacy" now has it's own website - www.beckyslegacy.co.uk
You can have a look at what we've done so far. There's a little finishing off to do but hope you like it.
Hello Toni,
Just wanted to share this with my GTS friends:-
Whilst at my Church a few weeks ago I was sat there, tears streaming down my face thinking of my Rebecca and looking at her empty chair where she always sat, when the Speaker read out a poem for some upliftment for us. Despite the tears, I had to smile and I hope it brings a smile to your face although I know times are so difficult for all of us as we struggle every day without our loved ones:-
In the beginning God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower and
spinach, with green, yellow and red vegetables of all kinds so Man and
Woman would live long and healthy lives.
Then using God's bountiful gifts, Satan created Dairy Ice Cream and
Magnums.
And Satan said, 'You want hot fudge with that?
And Man said, 'Yes!'
And Woman said, 'I'll have one too with chocolate chips'.
And lo they gained 10 pounds.
And God created the healthy yoghurt that woman might keep the figure
that man found so fair.
And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat and sugar from the
cane and combined them.
And Woman went from size 12 to size 14.
So God said, 'Try my fresh green salad'.
And Satan presented Blue Cheese dressing and garlic croutons on the side.
And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.
God then said 'I have sent you healthy vegetables and olive oil in
which to cook them'.
And Satan brought forth deep fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped
Lobster chunks and chicken fried steak, so big it needed its own platter.
And Man's cholesterol went through the roof.
Then God brought forth the potato; naturally low in fat and brimming
with potassium and good nutrition.
Then Satan peeled off the healthy skin and sliced the starchy centre
into chips and deep-fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities
of salt.
And Man put on more pounds.
God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those
extra pounds.
And Satan came forth with cable TV with remote control so Man would
not have to toil changing the channels.
And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and
started wearing stretch jogging suits.
Then God gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and
still satisfy his appetite.
And Satan created McDonalds and the 99p double cheeseburger.
Then Satan said 'You want fries with that?' and Man replied, 'Yes, and super-size 'em'. And Satan said, 'It is good.'
And Man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.
God sighed......... and created quadruple by-pass surgery.
And then............ Satan chuckled and created the National Health Service.
Sorry if anyone has heard it before.
Lots of love.
