We know we have been blessed in so many respects and we just have to deal with the paradox of simultaneously losing our Jane from our midst.
Last year Christopher Reid's book of poems "A Scattering" won a prize and we bought a copy (it is wonderful). It included a poem called "Please Explain Tears". I have wept a lot in the past days and weeks and my explanation is that they work like the heavy rain that follows that sultry, hot thundery weather. They clear the air and make it fizz. I think Jane would approve.
We will see many of you next week.
God bless you and thank you again from the three of us.

thank you Peter. Loved this post. It's been so wonderful to be able to have an insight into these things you are feeling,how you are doing...tears to cleanse, and love that endures even when we do not. Bless you and the family as you prepare for Jane's funeral. I wish we could be there. Love to you all. xoxo
Dear Peter, Lydia and Leo.
Sitting at my desk at work and have been reading the blog. I wish I had your strength and courage to know what to say or how to say it.
All I can say is my thoughts and prayers are with you all and I am hoping to attend tomorrow.
Shakey
Shaking a little at having to say goodbye but also determined to make tomorrow a celebration of the life that was Jane's, we will all be there. xxx
So longing to be there with all of you tomorrow.
Please know that I will be thinking of you and praying for each of you as you celebrate Jane's life with laughter and tears.
Love as always,
Your family in Texas. Vivienne Larry and the children.xxx
