      I did not know George Michael's sister had died. Whenever I see Highgate Cemetery, although it is occupied with so many famous people, George Michael always comes to mind first. If you have not done so already, I would recommend viewing his "25 Live" concert which I could watch everyday and never get tired of it. Be well.

      It's sadly ironic that George died on Christmas Day. Last Christmas is one of my favourite Wham songs (nobody will ever sing it as he did). In fact, I was listening to that about an hour before I heard of his death. Such a shock. It's shame his sister, Melanie died 3 years to the day he did. They were very close.
      If you haven't read Andrew Ridgeley's memoir (Wham! George Michael and me)yet, I highly recommend it.

    An interesting fact. When The London Necropolis Company was building Brookwood Cemetery they also built the London Necropolis Railway. Which was built to carry the dead from London to Brookwood. The lines in the Cemetery closed in 1941 and you can still see the platform in the cemetery and I think the old station house as well.

    The Epitaph on Jane Austen's Grave reads:
    In Memory of JANE AUSTEN, youngest daughter of the late Revd GEORGE AUSTEN, formerly Rector of Steventon in this County. She departed this Life on the 18th of July 1817, aged 41, after a long illness supported with the patience and the hopes of a Christian. The benevolence of her heart, the sweetness of her temper, and the extraordinary endowments of her mind obtained the regard of all who knew her and the warmest love of her intimate connections. Their grief is in proportion to their affection, they know their loss to be irreparable, but in their deepest affliction they are consoled by a firm though humble hope that her charity, devotion, faith and purity have rendered her soul acceptable in the sight of her REDEEMER
