Dedicated to the memory of Siân Beckwith
This site is a tribute to Siân Beckwith. A fabulous woman who was kind, talented, loving, open-hearted and had the most wonderful sense of humour, she brought such joy and laughter to the lives of so many. Feisty, always hilarious and a brilliant wife, mother and friend, she will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
After talking to one of the lovely staff who supported Siân this afternoon, I thought I'd share this little anecdote with you all - she told Helen that she wanted to be remembered as Siân with the sparkly shoes! That's our Mum. Bringing a smile and sparkle to us all.

All Is Well by Henry Scott-Holland
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me and if you want to, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was,
Let it be spoken without effect,
Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was;
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you,
For an interval,
Somewhere very near,
Just around the corner.
All is well.

Missing you so much, today and every day Mum. I love you so much and wish you were here with us. You are always in my thoughts.

Such a privilege to have worked with this gentlewoman. Oh, how we laughed xxx

A candle to remember the countless moments of laughter and shared conversations at The Ship and Russet House with Sian, whether it was cheeky humour to stay sane amidst the surrealness of some of what we experienced or those precious satisfying shared moments as staff of seeing young people grow and shine despite their struggles we had so many uniquely special times together in those times.
