The funeral service for the late Mrs Margaret Mills who recently passed away will take place Wednesday 29th June 2022 at 1.30pm within Bellshill Central Parish Church.

We expect that this will be a busy service with many wishing to pay their respects. Parking is available opposite in the Gladstone Street public car park

Don’t cry for me now I have died, for I’m still here I’m by your side,

My body’s gone but my soul is here, please don’t shed another tear,

I am still here I’m all around, only my body lies in the ground.

I am the snowflake that kisses your nose,

I am the frost, that nips your toes.

I am the sun, bringing you light,

I am the star, shining so bright.

I am the rain, refreshing the earth,

I am the laughter, I am the mirth.

I am the bird, up in the sky,

I am the cloud, that’s drifting by.

I am the thoughts, inside your head,

While I’m still there, I can’t be dead.

Anon.
