Kathleen Hammond 1927- 2019

Erskine Writers have had the pleasure of Kathleen’s writing’s over several years.

With her stories of growing up in the Kent countryside, the listener was given a unique picture of her home life and her adventures with her sister. She wrote to capture her life, as a gift for her for family, but her stories touched all who heard them.

Kathleen’s also wrote poems, which were very intuitive and meaningful.

                          Butterfly Emerged

                 Take my hand and rejoice with me,

                  Lift up your heart and sing,

                  From the valley of shadow and the vale of tears,

                  I’ve emerged like a new born thing.

Kathleen died 9^th January 2019. 

Her family will miss her greatly; as will we.
