Dedicated to the memory of Pamela Bergin
This site is a tribute to Pamela Bergin. She is a much loved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, who lived life to the full and and always looked for the positives in every situation and everyone that she met! She loved theatre and the arts and shared her enthusiasm for life-long learning and new experiences, not only with her family, but also with the many Southwater Primary children that she taught for over 20 years. She will always be remembered for her energy, enthusiasm and sheer 'joie de vivre'!

Thoughts
Turn Again to Life
"If I should die, and leave you here a while,
Be not like others sore undone,
who keep long vigils by the silent dust and weep.
For my sake, turn again to life, and smile,
Nerving thy heart, and trembling hand to do
Something to comfort weaker hearts than thine,
Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine,
And I, perchance, may therein comfort you!"
Emily Dickinson, American poet, 1830-1886

She is Gone
You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Sonnet 116
"Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom."
