James and Elizabeth Cole, lived over 60 years together, they did everything together and when James (Gilbert as he was known) died, Elizabeth never got over it. Grandad use to have an orchard and was a gardener and nan was a devoted wife,mother and grandmother.
They lived and brought up there family in Brimfield in Shropshire, they had 8 children but sadly lost 1 little girl as a baby, they can now cherish her and love her for all the years they missed.
While they are there making homes for there children to return too they have been reunited with some of there children who have sadly passed on and returned into there arms, they are looking after 2 grandchildren that sadly passed and 1 great grand child. This was the way they were nothing could break their united front and they faced everything together.
They left such big voids in so many hearts especially in there grandson Robin, when they died a little piece of him went with each of them for them to never be alone. They taught him so many values that as a man he is now putting into his own children and their memories are very much alive for their great grandchildren to learn about and laugh at the stories of days gone by. They will be so sadly missed but they will never be forgotten.

Miss you both so much..

When I come past Brimfield it is a ghost town to me, I think of the love you both showed me I have never felt that love before or after you both, you showed me how to appreciate simple things in life and how to love my darling wife and loving sons and I thank you both for that. If you would have met my son Paul everyone says you would have called him little Bob after me, I wish I would have made it to the hospital to see you nan but you know what went on there and how I was kept away if only Sharon would have known then what she knows now about how I felt about you both she would have told me regardless of what she was told she assures me of that and I know she would have she loves and respects me too much not to have told me. You would have loved her and she would have loved you both the lads well they are all characters in their own way you would have adored all of them and they would have shown you both the greatest of respect as that is the way they are thank god. I will come to the grave soon and sort it out again, I don't mind doing it to me it is me showing I still love and care for you both more than either of you can ever imagine..
Love you both and miss you both forever and ever your darling Rob/Bob xxxxxxxxxx

In Sympathy

So sorry for your loss. My nan passed away last year and it feels like my whole world has been taken away. My thoughts are with you. God bless. I hope you find this poem of comfort, as I have done. x

What is Dying?

A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says 'She is gone'.

Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout 'There she comes!'

That is what dying is. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.

Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.
