03 Jan 12 - 05:15 AM (#3283922) Subject: RE: theresa tooley From: nutty Here is a song I wrote shortly after Theresa's death but I couldn't read it, let alone sing it out, without bursting into tears. I hope to record it on my next CD I'm so glad that she is still remembered for the immense pleasure she gave to countless people. HOIST UP THE SAIL (A SONG FOR THERESA) CHORUS HOIST UP THE SAIL AND GLIDE ACROSS THE OCEANS OR HARNESS THE WIND AND FLY HIGH UP IN THE SKY LAY DOWN YOUR HEAD AND LET THE SHIP IN MOTION ROCK YOU TO SLEEP AS WE ALL SAY 'GOODBYE' MAY YOU FIND THOSE LOST COMPANIONS ALL THOSE FRIENDS WHO'VE GONE BEFORE MAY THEY GUIDE YOU TO SAFE HARBOUR WHEN YOU REACH THAT DISTANT SHORE MAY YOU NE'ER AGAIN BE SILENT MAY THE SINGING NEVER CEASE MAY YOUR VOICE BE HEARD FOREVER IN THE PLACE WHERE YOU'LL FIND PEACE |

03 Jan 12 - 08:47 AM (#3284011) Subject: RE: theresa tooley From: Bat Goddess I barely knew her; met her only once. So I not only mourn her, but I mourn that I never had the opportunity to know her better. Quite a lady, quite a singer. Linn |

03 Jan 12 - 05:58 PM (#3284360) Subject: RE: theresa tooley From: nutty Deckman - Theresa died from complications brought about by Motor Neurone Disease which had robbed her of her voice and the ability to move independently. A cruel disease and a sad end for such a vibrant person. |

04 Jan 12 - 01:44 PM (#3284822) Subject: RE: Remembering theresa tooley From: Ebbie I met Theresa only at one Getaway but I too shall never forget her. There is one memory that still makes me laugh- Amos strumming away on his guitar and Theresa shouting to the group: "Anybody got a song to go with that beat?" Thanks for the memories, Theresa. |

06 Jan 12 - 04:43 AM (#3285718) Subject: RE: Remembering theresa tooley From: r.padgett Yes it is a another yearly beginning I and my old mate John Booker knew Theresa and Bill Tooley for many years at countless festivals such as Fylde, Saddleworth, Whitby and places where singing songs unaccompanied and in harmony with friends was the most important thing ~ a pint and a good laugh Along with the passing of many old friends maybe a time for reflection. Colin Kemp, Theresa, Johnny Silvo spring to mind god bless them all and the good things they did to make life pleasant Ray |
