The answer to the meaning of life is 42

that is according to Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy!



If you listen to Monty Python the meaning of life is: "Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations."



As for me... hmm still working on that one! Had one of "those" days today. - JANE if you are at work you may want to stop reading or "that" pesky woman may turn up!



Today I went to the funeral of an amazing lady. I met Rhonda when I started working on Medical Ward. She was a lovely person with a great smile and loved by all (except when she was pulling them into line!) Rhonda had breast cancer about the same time as my mum and we joined Rhonda's team for Relay for Life. Last week - 2 days before Christmas - Rhonda lost her fight with cancer. She has left behind her parents, husband David, teenage son michael (who is in a wheelchair) and a teenage daughter Kate. She also leaves behind a large number of colleagues and friends who adored her.



Rhonda had the strength to organise her own service a few weeks ago so the service today was put together by her with songs of her choice. It really was a lovely service. Reggie got up and spoke so well and when they payed In the Arms of the Angels I don't think there was a dry eye.



Rhonda you will be sorely missed. The ward will not be the same without you and you have left a large gaping hole in many lives.
