What an absolutely beautiful tribute to your friend. Jan and all the angels shine brightly around you Trudi. You are a lovely soul. So very sorry for your loss. RIP Jan ♥️💫ox
It's truly stunning. Is it in your new book? I've put it on my list. By the way, I noticed that we both chose the same cover, that shade out of tree branches, at least that's what it looks like to me.
This one isn’t in the book but I dedicated the book to Jan. She read all my poems! Yes the cover design came up with that when I put “sparks’ in the search!
I listened to this Trudi and it is such a moving tribute to Jan. I'm sure she received it - and I am hoping she sends you a humorous sign to show that she did. xo PS - I had to look up 'Penhaligon.'
I remember and feel privileged (as your readers undoubtedly will) that you have shared this about Jan.
It is lovely to know her name
and that she read your poem before passing
A rare thing that to hear part of your own eulogy I think.
My partners sister died suddenly a short while ago.
Her funeral is next Wednesday.
My partner( English/poetry teacher wouldn't you know, funny that eh) will be reading her poem. One that she composed for her sisters 60th birthday. So her sister will have read it too. Albeit 14 years ago. But still a life perspective that captured her essence.
Oh Trudi, she sounded like a beautiful soul with a love for life and all, such a gem of a friend. She’s one of your angels watching you and cheering for you from Heaven. 😇♥️
Thank you, Steve. She read this poem and was happy that so much of her life had been captured. I know you asked to read this one and I felt Jan was okay with that!
Beautiful Trudi, l reckon Jan is showering you with her loving … sparkles ✨ and blessings, gratitude and thanks, reflecting your poem back to you. Thank you for sharing Jan’s essence with us … and yours 🙏🏼💖🍾

Thank you, Debs. Jan gifted me a little angel. It sits on my shelf at work! I do miss her.🤗✨
A lovely tribute for a lovely person! This poem will keep a small part of her forever.❤️
Thank you, Carole. It will!💕
A heartfelt tribute, Trudi. Did her proud ❤️
Thank you, Julie. I appreciate you saying that. 🤗
Such a beautiful poignant tribute to Jan. Your poem is like a message in a bottle, Trudi. May Jan's memory always be a blessing.
Heidi I love that it reads like a message in a bottle! Thank you. ✨

Beautiful! I really like the cover image, sparks that go in so many directions.
Such a beautiful tribute to your dear friend Trudi. She’d be thrilled to know you felt her true essence.
Thank you, Algeria. That means a lot. 🤗✨
My pleasure Trudi. 💕

Oh I hope she sends me a sign! ✨And Jan loved Penhaligon’s perfume. You would love the shop! It’s like an apothecary ✨
A beautiful tribute to Jan, thank you for sharing her memory 🩵

Wish you well, have some more mince pies to make.
Evening Steve. I think it’s lovely that your partner will honour her sister in that way on Wednesday. It’s a beautiful gift to share.
I hope your mince pies are good! 😊
What a beautiful Tribute to Jan, Trudi! She's proud, very proud, of your efforts. I hope someday to find someone as talented to write one for me ...
Thank you C.J. I’m sure someone will 🤗✨
I’ll choose you! 😮😁
I’d do it willingly, and with love 🥰
I can’t think of anything better. Thank you, Trudi.

Jo-Ann I truly hope she is! There’ll be mischief, for sure! ✨
I regret your loss and extend my most profound sympathies. Sometimes the most beautiful tributes spring from our most significant losses.
Candy, that’s so thoughtful and kind. Thank you so much.
What a beautiful, fitting poetic testament to a treasured friend
Poetic words that capture the essence of her life and your friendship together
You were clearly proud to know her
She would have been proud to be honoured by you in this way.

I really appreciate your kind words.🤗
