The obituary notice of Eleanor CARR

Mum wanted Matt Monro's Softly As I Leave You played at her funeral because she had been moved when she heard it at a friend's funeral. It was a wonderful choice Mum and the words touched me greatly. Bye Mum, safe journey x.

Softly I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me to stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years I can't bear the tears to fall so
Softly, as I leave you there
Softly I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go
So I leave you softly long before you miss me
Long before your arms can beg me to stay
For one more hour or one more day
After all the years I can't bear the tears to fall so
Softly, as I leave you there

In memory of Eleanor

Dear Alun, Dawn and Suzanne

We would like to pass on our condolences to you for the passing away of your mother Eleanor. We know the last few years have been very challenging for you all, given Eleanor's deteriorating health. We are relieved that Eleanor is no longer suffering. We are sorry we cannot be with you today but will be thinking of you and Eleanor as you celebrate her life, and send our love. Eleanor - May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

With much love

The Talbot family
