Brenda Anne Lenthall (6 Feb 1941 - 5 Feb 2019)

In loving memory of Brenda Anne Lenthall who sadly passed away on 5th February 2019 at the Wolds Care Home in Louth Lincolnshire,

Peacefully passed away in the early hours aged 77 years, after a long illness. Much loved wife to Robert Anthony. Much loved mother to Christopher; Simon; Jade-Louise; Jonathan; Lyndsey; Nathan and the late Adam and Jane. She is survived by numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, both in the United Kingdom and United States, who she loved greatly.

Death is nothing at all.

I have only slipped away to the next room.

I am I and you are you.

Whatever we were to each other,

That, we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name.

Speak to me in the easy way

which you always used.

Put no difference into your tone.

Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed

at the little jokes we enjoyed together.

Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.

Let my name be ever the household word

that it always was.

Let it be spoken without effect.

Without the trace of a shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant.

It is the same that it ever was.

There is absolute unbroken continuity.

Why should I be out of mind

because I am out of sight?

I am but waiting for you.

For an interval.

Somewhere. Very near.

Just around the corner.

All is well.
