Haiku 68 Above the Sakura Tree ,Another Spring

cherry blossoms drift upon the wooden casket life after life In memory of our dear souper friend Lucilla Carillo,and my husband's cousin David Chircop who finished this journey ,to start a better one. May your fragrance of love bloom in the highest of skies as it did on earth. 'Pls remember them,and their loved ones in prayer'.

This is lovely and fitting, especially for those who believe in "life after life". Lucilla was warm, kind and loving; David an example of an honest and hard working person who gave his all and adored his family. (I never spoke to him personally, but many in my family knew him well.) // paul

Hi Eileen..He had cancer for about six yrs.He is 41yrs old and hss two teenage kids.He was a devoted father,a faithful believer,a loyal husband ,and a dedicated camera man with one of the maltese t.v stations.He was a very good man,and so prepared to go to heaven,even if He treasured life so much.He loved carpentry and sailing too.God really picks the best flowers early,Im so sorry for the loss of lucilla too and last December Linda marie.I know I shouldnt be sorry cause they re in the besr place ever,but im human and miss them dear..
