MY MUM!!!
My Mum was a wonderful person, full of life and still so young. She lived in Isleworth with her Husband, my Dad, Tony. She was Mum to Tony, Lavinia (Sis), Cheryl (me), Darren, Steven and Brian. At the time she was Nan to James and Warren (mine and Warren's), Kerry and Daniel (Sis and Kevin's), Daniel (Darren and Nadia's) and Sophie, Luke and Hayley (Steven's). Since her passing she has become Nan to Ian, William and Edward (mine and Warren's), Amy, Elle and Harry (Darren and Nadia's), George and Bradley (Steven's) and Charlie and Tony (Tony and Lou's). Steven has also given her 4 more Grandchildren, Kayley, Emily, George and Harry, with his Partner Sammi, She was Sister to Bob (God bless him), Kate, Graham (God bless him), Andrew, Carole and little Susan Jean who passed away when she was 6 months old.
My Mum loved all her Grandchildren and I know she is looking down on them still filled with love for the ones she met and the ones she didn't have the chance to. Mum was a big softy when it came to her Grandchildren. She was very much a family orientated person and was always there for all those she held dear to her heart. She kept the family together!
Every Christmas/Boxing Day us kids would all pile round for dinner and present giving, drinks and games, and oh what a laugh we would have. I felt sorry for Mum having to cook for so many of us, but she loved it. They are times I will never forget.
Mum started complaining of headaches and went to the doctors only to be told the usual nonsense. After some time she was put on the waiting list for a CT scan. Time passed and Mum waited patiently. Then one day they became so bad that my Brother, Brian insisted she go back to the doctor and demand her appointment be brought forward. This they agreed to do and shortly after she was diagnosed as having an inoperable brain tumour. Mum went through chemo but this was not successful. She tried a new drug from America which was still in the 'experimental stages', but this did not work either. Mum fought bravely for 15 months before losing her battle to live. It was a truly devastating time, but one we were grateful for to a degree as it meant Mum was no longer in such excrutiating pain. It's times like these when you have to forget about the pain you feel in your heart and put your loved one first. Mum was in so much pain and really wasn't aware of who any of us really were, but a few hours before she passed away she seemed to be really with it, and each one of us took it in turns to see her, hold her and tell her how much we really loved her. She seemed to acknowledge all of us and understand everything we said. She responded to us and we all came to realise it was Mum saying goodbye to us. A moment I will truly treasure and take with me wherever I go!
Mum's send off was a very private occasion with some wonderful flower arrangements. Her much loved husband, Tony was there, with all her children and most of the partners, her Sisters Kate and Carole, and a few friends.
I miss my Mum terribly and nearly 14 years on it still hurts. I miss not being able to go to her when I need advice, to just pick up the phone and share wonderful moments the children have given me, to go shopping with and generally just do Mum and Daughter things with. My Mum was more than just My Mum, she was My Friend. I loved her with all my heart and always will. I know I will see her again, but this doesn't stop the pain for now.
I think a piece of Mum came back to us a year to the day she passed away. On July 31st 1995, I gave birth to Ian, just an hour before the time she moved on to be with the angels, as well as her Mum, Nanny Kate, and her Brother, Uncle Graham. Now they have Uncle Bob with them, and I have no doubts that they met up with Grandad. I believe they are all looking down on us, acting like guardian angels to us and having a good old laugh at some of our antics. I may not be able to share my life with her down here on earth, but I know she is with me wherever I go and following our every footstep. She is sharing in our lives and is enjoying all the treasured moments from her place above us.
I look forward to being with you again Mum and having a huge hug, but for now I am enjoying my life and am trying to live it to the fullest, taking you with me on all my adventures.
Look out for Ryan, Mum and give him a big, big hug from me.
Stay well up there Mum and keep smiling!
All my love, Mum, now, always and forever! You were a Mum In A Million!
ALWAYS LOVING YOU
WHEN ANGELS CAME FROM HEAVEN
When angels came from heaven
And flew away with you,
We were left heartbroken
Not knowing what to do.
There was no warning signs,
Just a pair of pure white wings,
And now we miss you very much
And all the joy you used to bring.
We feel an empty space inside,
It's a place you used to be,
And no one can replace you ever,
Even though now your free.
We keep asking the same question,
Why did it have to be you?
But there's never any answers,
So what more can we do?
We just hold on to your memories
And keep that space open for you,
And when we meet again some day
Our skys shall all turn blue!
We miss you more each day that passes
As absence makes the heart grow stronger,
And we shall love you forever more
No matter where you wander.
FLY HIGH ANGEL FOR NOW YOU ARE FREE

I never got to meet you and that always made me sad but no matter what I "met" you in your son Bob. I'm thinking of you today because 60 years ago you brought another little girl into the world and that was a special day for you too. As a Mum I never forget the Mums on birthdays of their "little" girls or boys. You did all the hard work and created the magic of their existence. God bless you Kate! Bob often said in many ways I reminded him of you. I'm sure that was one "little" boy missing his Mummy and now I pray Bob, Janet and Graham are all back with their Mum, safe and secure in your love. Love Marine (Bob's wife) xxx
A golden heart stopped beating,
Two smiling eyes at rest,
God broke your familys hearts to prove to them,
He only takes the best.
Sweet dreams beautiful angel.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Wonderful Legacy
There Is A Wonderful Legacy
Of Which I Wish To Tell
About A Wonderful Lady
That We Loved So Well
Her Strength Lives Within Us
And Grows Stronger Each Day
Her Honor Still Lingers
Though Her Life Has Slipped Away
I Miss The Sound Of Her Laughter
And Her Stern Lectures Too!
I Miss Hearing Her Say, “I Love You”
She Fought A Good Battle
Then Gave Up The Fight
To Rest In The Arms Of Jesus
What A Beautiful Sight
In Our Hearts Her Memory
Will Always Stay
Nothing Could Ever Take
Her Remembrance Away

MOTHER OF MINE
Mother of mine you gave to me, all of my life to do as I please,
I owe everything I have to you,
Mother sweet mother of mine.
Mother of mine when I was young
You showed me the right way things had to be done,
Without your arms where would I be,
Mother sweet mother of mine.
Chorus:
Mother you gave me happiness, much more than words can say,
I thank the Lord that He may bless you, every night and every day.
Mother of mine now I am grown and I can walk straight all on my own,
I'd like to give you what you gave to me,
Mother sweet mother of mine.
Chorus
Mother of mine now I am grown and I can walk straight all on my own,
I'd like to give you what you gave to me,
Mother sweet mother of mine.
Mother sweet mother of mine.
Gob Bless, Mum. You are always with me; always and forever in my heart. I love you so much and miss you every day. Some days it's easier, but that doesn't mean I miss you any less. Until we meet again, a big hug for now! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Few people come into our lives
and make everything shine,
but you're one of those

and you made me feel strong enough
to accomplish anything.
Because I appreciate
the many things you do,
more than words could say,
I'm sending you the Candle of Love,
and hoping you receive
many blessings from above.

ANGEL
There is a beautiful garden,
In a far away land,
Where God and this sweet angel
Walk hand in hand,
How lucky God is
To have such a treasure
Take care of this angel Lord,
Forever and ever x x
God bless x
God bless you ! - I feel so much for you, reading your beautiful tribute to your mum was like reading my own, to my mum. My mum too went throught the stages of believing the doctors and waiting, and then it being to late, and nothing working.
I also had that wonderful moment when I was able to talk to my mum, and some how she managed to let me know she heard.
My mum died in feb 2006, just a day and 5 mins before my 15th birthday. Her passing is still so raw and I miss her so much. We were so close.
I know your mum will be with you forever and will still share your memories. God bless and stay strong.
R.I.P Janet! Finally at rest.
I picture you walking up the path
and walking through the door
I listen out for your gentle laugh
but i cant hear it anymore
I hold my hands out everyday
Hoping for your gentle touch
But i dont feel your warm hands touch me
Its a feeling i miss so much
I wait for you to wipe my tears
But you want yours wiping too
And everyday still hurts so much
Because my life is missing you
I keep your memory in my soul
It burns so bright each day
And all the things i have in my mind
Theres three words i want to say
I Miss You
x x x x x x x x x x x x x
im so sorry for your loss i too lost my darling gary to a brain tumour and he also was with us at the very end for us to say our goodbyes, moments i will treasure forever may you all have your wonderful memories of your lovely mum all your lives until you all meet again kim x
