yvonne.

I went to the funeral of my great aunt on Friday. She will always be remembered for her loud and beautiful laughter, her love of family, friends and parties and her amazing nail varnish and stiletto collection. This passage of the Bible was read at the ceremony, and even as a self confessed athiest, I can still appriciate the bible as literature, ok? You will be greatly missed Yvonne.

"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails."
