Richie, I wish the best for you in 2015, we will both be dealing with our loss. She was a beautiful lady, and I can tell by that beautiful smile, she had a warm heart. My heartfelt thoughts go out to you, and your family. ...S.
Beautiful red hair and a warm smile...she is indeed a lovely lady. It is a long road for you...but we, your friends, are here for you. God bless you and your family.
Richie, you and your wife are on this journey but when it becomes to much for your heart to hold, look about and see that all of your friends are there with you. My prayers to make each step easier for you. ~~ John

Think, you're right Richie. I wish Doreen and you all the strength to travel this long and tough road. Cherish the fond memories of your lovely daughter Cheryl. A Goodbye isn't forever as long as a beloved one is in your heart.

A lovely photo of your daughter Richie. A couple of days ago I was at a memorial site for those lost in our big earthquake and there was a poem called For Grief by John O'Donohue, pinned on the wall. It was beautiful and I thought of you and your family when I read it. Just did a google search for it. THIS is the link.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Her warm and caring spirit can clearly be seen in this lovely photo...she must have touched many in her lifes' work and will live on in their hearts as well as yours...may the grace of God give you comfort and strength as you travel this hard road.
Oh, Richie, she is a real beauty, what a hearty smile. I don't think we could ever say good bye to our loved ones. The road to normality is not only long, but rocky and thorny. But the good memories are with you, they will help a lot. I know. My best wishes for you and Doreen.
