Lynda Bellingham worthily and fondly remembered!

A courageous and remarkable lady in every respect.

By Stanley Collymore

 

Life can at times be such a vexatious conundrum

periodically testing our mettle and always

checking to see if we can properly

cope with what it presents us

with or even efficiently

deal with them while

firmly chiding us for either squandering

the opportunities that it sends our

way or else through our short-

sightedness and evident

inability to think beyond the present day that we

find ourselves in ignoring them altogether,

because such an attitude is a lot easier

to readily adjust to and rather

regrettably does often for

some tend to carry

great sway.

 

Either way Life’s ventures do set a tangible, quite

positive, as well as a durable benchmark whose

challenges, presented as such, we’re then

left at liberty to willingly take on

board or otherwise voluntarily

dispense with in the full

knowledge that whatever choices we

decisively opt for and of our own

volition do make are the ones

best suited to meet and

properly fulfil our

most personal

ambitions.

 

And throughout your consummately gratifying,

tremendously fascinating, spiritedly

courageous in the face of death

and commendably diverse

life as an accomplished

actress, loving mother and devoted wife,

you’ve undoubtedly been the truest

epitome of what’s inherently the

very best in us mere mortal

human beings, Lynda

Bellingham!

Author’s Condolence:

In thankful appreciation for the wondrous joy and inner satisfaction that you instinctively and artlessly brought to so many millions of us Lynda, interposed with the humility which you so commendably inspired in countless others as you stoically accepted, courageously and uncomplainingly faced up to, and with not even a hint of self-pity made light of and even unaffectedly embraced the inevitability of your impending death.

 

Truly a remarkable inspiration as well as a phenomenal role model to us all who already miss you sorely, will continue to do so, and enduringly make sure for the rest of our own mortal lives that you’ll be fondly remembered; so no goodbyes, just a heartfelt farewell from me.

 

With that in mind and together with all the many millions who loved you individually and cherished your amazing charisma and abilities I extend the fervent wish that you rest in eternal peace, Lynda in the firm awareness on our part that you’ll equally and just as successfully brighten up your permanent celestial home every bit as you did your temporary and earthly one.

 

Notwithstanding that, I’d additionally like to express my deepest and sincerest condolences to your immediate family members and closest friends for their sad loss.
