YES! earth grows the poorer, Heaven seems more desirable, when our loved ones have gone into the shadowy land. Shadowy, did I say? Nay, Here is the shadowy, There the light blocks out the radiance of the sun. With excess of brightness that higher world is dark because our eyes are so weak, our faith so dim. In this ever-changing world of phenomena We seem but shadows pursuing shadows, like the rest. When we reach There we shall know the truth, that love, and life, were the only real things we have ever found.

My Mom, Elizabeth Faith St. Clair Tennent, nee Edwards, better known to all who knew her as Betty, has left us.
Betty is derived from the Hebrew name Elizabeth. She was quiet and gentle. She never looked for trouble. She always placed others above herself. She was well loved among her family and her friends - although she had her human moments just like all of us. She was sincere and trustworthy.
She was a mother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, mother-in-law, Nana, Big Nana and friend to her family and friends, and we all will surely miss her in our own way.
Join up with your beloved husband, Alfred, Mom, your sister, Peggy, your daughter-in-law, Anna and with your own parents, my maternal grandparents.
Thankyou all for being here, for her, my Mother. Thankyou.
Betty Tennent :- October 3rd.1922 - August 2nd. 1999.
