My mum was the most beautiful and kindest person ive ever met, the best mum and the greatest nanna.
She could never do enough for us and the people she loved. After meeting her lovely partner Jeff 10
years ago she settled into life on the river living on boats and enjoying the best years of her
life. At just turning 60 on the 19th december she was due to retire and go round the world sailing
and enjoying herself. But that was not meant to be she was taken from us just 10 days after her
birthday after a very short illness.

You were not only my mum you were my best friend mum will think about you every day and will love
you always, i know you will never be too far away from us.

love Marie, Phil and your beautiful grandchildren Owen james and Evan Jay xxxxxx

Hey mumx

Hi mum
Still missing you like crazy, cant stop thinking about you and it hurts like hell that i cant just have a big hug off you. Its the annual bonfire down at the yard tonight, and you should be there with us, chasing your boys around and giving them big kisses. This time last year you had just started to get poorly and had to keep lying down feels so strange that you arent going to be there with us, in fact im dreading it, but im sure the kids and phil will keep me partially sane hehe. Im going down early like i did last year so Owen can make a guy fawkes with grandad, last year was soooo funny when they was both covered in straw. Probably be the same again i just wont have you to stand and giggle with. Everyone else misses you too we are all finding it sooo hard not having you around.Gonna go now mummy but i will start coming on more often to have chats with you just find it so hard sometimes. Love you and miss you always my mummy and my best friend lots of love Marie xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi mum

Hi mum came to see you yesterday and left you lots and lots of photos to keep you company i know how much you loved photos. Phil also left some poker cards for you he will never give up trying to teach you to play. I also cut Jeff's hair so he looks presentable for monday he looked like a sheep you would have gone mad with him bless haha haha. I thought missing you was going to get easier but at the minute it just seems to be getting harder, ill be ok though your boys will look after me and ill just keeping thinking of you smiling down on me. Anyway i best go because Evan wants his bottle, you know how greedy he is.
Love you mum always and forever

miss me but let me go

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free.

Miss me a little, but not too long,
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me, but let me go.


For this journey that we all must take,
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master's plan,
a step on the road to home.

When we are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
Miss me, but let me go.

My beautiful mum

God looked around his garden
and found an empty space
then he looked down upon this earth
and saw your tired face
he put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest
gods garden must be beautiful
he only takes the best

Its been over a week now mum and it still hurts so bad, im dreading monday when we have to say goodbye for the longest time ever, i hope you know how much we love you and how much you will always mean to us you were one very very special person. I said i wasent going to come and see you again after yesterday but thnk i might have to just need to see your face again.

love and miss you always
Marie, phil and your beautiful boys xxxxx
