Quotes

Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day? ~ Roger Waters
- As we commemorate 75 years since Victory in Europe, we must all remember the brave boys and what they sacrificed for us … they left their families and homes to fight for our freedom, and many lost their lives trying to protect us and our liberties.
This year, we must commemorate this special anniversary apart.
I hope that VE Day will remind us all that hope remains even in the most difficult of times and that simple acts of bravery and sacrifice still define our nation as the NHS works so hard to care for us.
Most of all, I hope today serves as a reminder that however hard things get, we will meet again.
Quotes about Lynn
[edit]- I am so sad to hear of her passing but at the same time so glad to have met her and experienced first-hand her warm, fun-loving personality. Her voice will sing in my heart forever.
