Welcome to the Trafford Bank Blog!
Stay tuned for the latest news and events from Lorraine.

I would like to thank everyone who has sent cards and email tributes to me on the passing of my darling husband on 17th May.
He died in my arms as he wished after a short but determined battle with cancer. That day his soul may have gone to heaven but he never left me. I can feel his presence here at Trafford Bank, when I take our dog for his walk along the canal and at his favourite restaurant.

"HEAVEN MUST HAVE BEEN MISSING AN ANGEL"

I have posted 2 of the last photos taken of my darling Koshi. One at home at Trafford Bank and the other on the balcony of our 2nd home in Goa, India where he requested I take his ashes..

You can shed tears that Koshi is gone
Or you can smile because he has lived

You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what Koshal would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on
