A Precious Mum, Mum-in-law, Gran & Grandma you will live forever in our hearts TO MY MUM 26/05/04 Here we are a full year now since the day we had to part. Still! I feel the heartache and the pain. But! Even thou you’re out of sight, there is a place you’re very near, it’s in my heart where you will stay day by day and year after year. I Love You Mum I always will. I will always remember that lovely smile lighting the room when you entered in. You were always there with lots of love and a helping hand whenever you could. What a wonderful lady you were quiet and gentle and very kind. Always seeing the best in others, I can still hear you say “if you can’t say something nice then best to say nothing at all”. But most of all I’d like to say what a wonderful Mother you were. You never faltered in your love and care never a time when you were not there. Thank you Mum for all your love and for always being there. I was a very privileged daughter to have you for “My Mum” For so many years you suffered in silence never complaining or holding you back I can still hear you now. “I am fine” you’d say. It hurt so much to see you in such pain if only I could have taken some for you but alas! That could not be done. I tried so hard to keep you home. I know the last four months was hell. I loved you so my heart was breaking to see the turmoil you were in. I’m sorry Mum I fell apart, however, I loved you then and I love you now. It felt that I had lost you some time before. Only! Sometimes you would be your old familiar self with a phrase or two. Oh Yes! Then that smile we all knew would just came shinning through. I only hope you are at peace now. In Dads arms, where you truly do belong, surrounded by all the family and your friends I think the time has come to say goodnight I love you more than mere words can say And I always will. I send a Kiss with a great “BIG HUG” for you My Mum and also for my Dad I leave you now in Gods good hands Goodnight and God Bless My Mum YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME WHAT A WONDERFUL SMILE - LOVE AND MISS YOU ALWAYS MY SWEET MUM 2003 Those cheerful smiles, that heart of gold. The dearest voice the world could hold. A beautiful soul! in a garden at rest. It’s true they say god chooses the best. When the time came, we suffered! God took your hand and we had to part. He eased your pain but broke our hearts. If you could have spoken before you died. These words you would have replied! This life for me has truly passed I have loved you all, till the very last. Weep not for me, but courage Take, and love one another for my sake.
