The obituary notice of Pauline THOMPSON (née Stubbs)

It's difficult to know what to say at a time like this. I feel lost, and my life seems to lack the colour it once did as I continue to dream of you. Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most love is lost, and there are so many conversations that feel unfinished. To celebrate graduating my undergraduate degree you engraved a compass for me, so that I might never get lost while travelling. Now about to graduate my Masters, without you to see it, I'm reminded of how much you helped form my love of learning and reading, telling me stories about Egypt, and all manner of fairies and ghosts. The legacy we leave behind isn't carved into stones or monuments, but woven into the lives of others, and you can rest gently in knowing I'll make you proud someday.

My second mama and ledgend will miss you so much Pauline. Such a fun and beautiful lady inside and out she was one of the girls. Love and miss you always 😢

Let Me Go

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not for long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the fun and laughter we shared
Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.

It’s all part of the master plan
A step on the road to home.

Laugh at all the things we did
Miss me, but let me go.

For when I am gone,
I will live on in your memories,
In your laughter, your love and your heart

Pauline will be such a huge miss an amazing inspirational lady with a heart of gold 💛 ❤️ Pauline will be loved and missed every day 💔
