Today we laid [livejournal.com profile] jj1564 to rest at her favourite place, Hever Castle.

Sam scattered his Mum's ashes at the roots of a lovely little sapling which will, in time, grow into a stunning pink-blossomed flowering cherry tree.
The location was specifically chosen because it is inamongst lots of other plain green trees, so that when it blossoms it will really 'pop'!

Sam was an absolute trooper and we were all so proud of him.

So JJ will live on forever in the leaves and blossoms of this gorgeous little tree, and I look forward to watching it grow and flourish over the years !



Here are a few more pictures of the day:

This is truly lovely. It's great that you will be able to enjoy this beautiful flowering tree and think of June. What a perfect location choice, too.

I look forward to going back in the Spring and hopefully seeing the little tree in blossom. I've got a flowering cherry in my garden (a white one, and much bigger than June's, it's over 25 years old) and it's absolutely beautiful.

I have two flowering crab apple trees — one pink and one white — which are gorgeous, but no cherry trees.

What a beautiful place! June would love it! :D

(Isn't Hever Castle where Anne Boleyn & Henry VIII used to summer? I have heard of it, but I've never seen it. XD)

Hever belonged to the Boleyn family and Anne grew up there, so that'll be why you've heard of ti.

Ah, that's exactly what I said — glad I was right!

Yes, that's right. I believe Hever belonged to Anne Boleyn's family before Henry came on the scene.
It was only ten minutes up the road from where June used to love, and the grounds were very beautiful and accessible, so great for wheelchair users. June always felt very free and independent there.

I'm so glad Sam has his aunties... and June would be happy to know she's part of the landscape of Hever now.

They are such a lovely close family. Sam is getting all the support he needs :)
And now June will forever be part of Hever's history!

We've lost a legend in fandom. :'( But what a place for a final resting ground!
