I heard this poem read out on the radio a few weeks ago.
I only knew Lynne for a short time of her "dash" but she was one of the most loveliest persons I have had the pleasure of knowing. Kind words, smiling welcomes, always thinking about others.
I think all who knew and loved Lynne will certainly say she filled her "dash" with so many things to make her family feel proud.

The Dash
I read of a man who stood to speak at a funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning...to the end.
He noted that first came the date of birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time they spent alive on earth and now only those who loved them know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own, the cars..the house...the cash. What matters is how we lived and loved and how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard; are there things you'd like to change? For you never know how much time is left that still can be rearranged.
To be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile...remembering that this special dash might only last a little while.
So when your eulogy is being read, with your life's actions to rehash, would you be proud of the things they say about how you lived your dash?

A beautiful lady that battled so hard. Rest in peace dearest Lynne. It's your time to rest. Your family will be looked after as you look down on them with pride and love. They will cherish the memories you made with them and you will continue to sparkle through the stars in the night sky. Night night xx xx xx
