I am Gene's ....

Superstar Gene Pitney Was found dead aged 65 in his bed in a Cardiff hotel on April the 5th 2006.
Pitney - who found fame with Twenty Four Hours From Tulsa - was pronounced dead at the Hilton hotel at 1000 BST.

He was on a UK tour and had shown no signs of illness. The cause of death is not yet known but is not suspicious.

His biggest success was in the 1960s and he enjoyed a 1989 revival with his chart-topping duet, Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart, with Marc Almond.

Almond said he was "saddened and shocked" at the news. "Together we had one of the biggest hits of 1989 with Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart and it was an honour to have worked with him," he said.

"He was a great, unique singer of great, unique songs. Today is a sad day."

God Bless You Gene Rip Love Anne x

The Everlasting Light

Those we love must someday pass
Beyond our present sight
They must leave us and the world we know
Without their radiant light
But we know that, like a candle
Their lovely light will shine
To brighten up another place
More perfect, more divine
And in the realm of heaven
Where they shine so warm and bright
Our loved ones live forever more
In God's eternal light

I'M SENDING A DOVE TO HEAVEN
WITH A PARCEL ON IT'S WINGS
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU OPEN IT
IT'S FULL OF BEAUTIFUL THINGS
INSIDE ARE A MILLION KISSES
WRAPPED UP IN A MILLION HUGS
TO SAY HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME
AND SEND YOU ALL MY LOVE.

GOD BLEES xxx

Oh Lord, I Think You Know.........
The hardest thing in life to bear
Is to lose the ones you love
To never see there face again
Or give them that big hug

To never hold them in your arms
To never see them grow
Oh Lord, if we could have one wish
I think by now, you know

That we would wish to have them back
To live on earth with us
So that we could share with them
Our unconditional love

But now that you have got them
In heaven up above
Hold them closely to your heart
And shower them with love

God Bless Love Anne xx
