I remember when I was younger, alway's going round my Nan's on Boxing Day and all the family would be there. We'd all try and squeeze round the table for tea.
We'd meet my Nan and her husband up the local working mens club every Sunday where she'd have her favourite tipple, a Whiskey Mac.
She was lovely and had a wicked sense of humour and a wicked laugh!
I didn't see her very often when I left home to start my own family for several reasons. One being that she became a bit of a recluse and wouldn't leave the house, which eventually contributed to her death.
It made my day when at my wedding, with my Dad walking me down the aisle, I saw her standing in the pews watching me walk down the aisle to get married. Unfortunately, she left straight after the service, before any pictures were taken.
I remember the last day I spoke to my Nan. It was on my Mum and Dad's Wedding day in July 2006. I answered the phone to her and she was very emotional because she was quite ill and couldn't make it to her sons long awaited Wedding. I'll never forget that phone call.
She is a much loved and missed Wife, Mum, Nan and Great Nan with a total of 7 children, 11 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.

For Angels by me xxx

X Angel you mean more than words can say X

You are with me each and every day

During the night when i lay awake

Thinking of your never ageing face

You sit there with me

When the sunlight sets up high

You are walking by my side

When the first snowdrop falls

When the winds roar

You are there enjoying it all

So until my road comes to an end

You stay with me

For you where and always are

Was It You….

A butterfly flew past my window today
Was it you
A cool breeze kissed my face today
Was it you
The sun warmed my soul today
Was it you
It must be you
I see you every time I close my eyes
You are in my every thought
You are a quiet part of me
I Love You

Love Always Mary xxxxxx

Sorry...

Hi Nan,

Was up the crem today to say a final farewell to Eric. Was going to come and say hello to you and my other Nan but it slipped my mind as I got caught in the post memorial happenings!
Hope you don't mind and know that I was thinking of you...

Lots of love,

You’re now a beautiful butterfly
That has come to sit upon my hand
You have the colours of the rainbow
You look very very grand

I know its you here today
Its a sign to let me know
My beautiful little butterfly
I don’t ever want you to go

I could take you home too
And keep you close to me
But that wouldn’t be fair I know
For you deserve to be free

I see you often in my garden
It brings comfort to me
My beautiful little butterfly
Always around for me to see

I know one day you will be away
Away with the summers sun
But I know my sweet butterfly
That your life as just begun.

Happy Mothers Day (belated)

Dear Nan,

Happy Mothers Day! Sorry it's a bit late...
Looking after Eric for you, he's doing ok. Just managed to get him to eat some sliced banana and some chocolate (think the chocolate swung it for him!).

Love always

Nan

I regret not seeing you more often than I did. I remember coming to see you on your birthday in 2001 with Stuart and our new baby daughter, Chloe, who was 3 months old. You were absolutly lovely that day...when I was feeding Chloe, she started to cough and you took her off of me and comforted her because you thought I was choking her! You fed her the rest of her bottle.
Joey's doing well now, still asking 'cup of tea Eric?'

You will never be forgotten...
Lots of love, Shelley, Stuart, Chloe and Alex xxx xxx xxx xxx
