Dear Mum
We're sending you hugs on Angel wings of gold,
Oh, so many for you to hold.
We'll blow you some kisses in the gentle breeze,
With some tears on sad days like these.
The Angels are bringing you some flowers,
We picked you a bunch.
Softly placed in your open arms,
One from each one of us.
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping,
We have you in our hearts.
Love From Emma xxxxx

My mum passsed away suddenly on 10/02/08 aged 51 years leaving behind a loving husband and 2
daughters. Elaine slipped away peacefully surrounded by her loving family and her closest friends.
Her death was very sudden and yet very peacfull. She is deeply missed by all who knew her

Mum was always a strong minded person. She lived for her 2 daughters and husband. She used to take
us on holiday two or three times a year. When we grew up and had children of our own she was the
devoted grandma. The twins were born 3 month early and without her help and support i would never of
got through it she was there for me when i needed her the most.


She lived her life for herself and dad once we grew up and settled down, then she started to get
everything she deserved holidays in the sun about three times a year, all the things she ever wanted
that she couldn`t have when we were little (for fear we`d break them). She loved her house and was
constantly trying to get it the way she wanted it but to her it was never right there was always
something that would make it a better home but it always looked perfect to me, i suppose you could
call her a perfectionist but that was my mum. She was the best there is and we will never forget
her, i have only just realised how much i am like her and i am never going to change that as at
least she left me that.

A MOTHER'S MESSAGE FROM HEAVEN

I see you, darling, all the time,
I know everything you do,
Would you believe, my dearest child
I'm even closer now to you.

For I can see inside your mind,
Indeed, inside your heart,
I even know you better now,
Than I did before, sweetheart.

I've always loved you - you know that,
But maybe now I love you more,
I love the adult that you've become,
Just as I loved the child before.

I know how much you miss me, honey,
Well, I miss you, too,
I miss our talking and our laughing,
And all we used to do.

Whether you are six or sixty,
You'll always be my precious child,
You're the baby that I carried,
And the adult that's helped me smile.

What you need to understand,
Though death has taken me away,
Is that I've not left you, darling,
I am still with you today.

Honey, I could never leave you,
God, of course, would not want that,
Physically, we are apart,
But our hearts are still attached.

I love you all the time,
You cannot get away from me,
That's the way a Mother is,
Right into eternity.

Every day I'm with you
I see you from above,
And I want for you to know
How very much you're loved

Love Mum

My mum married my dad in 1976 and never looked back they were best friend as well as lovers. Mum was
a seamstress until she was made redundent, it was then that they decided to start a family and along
came me in 1979. She never went back to work she wanted to be a stay at home mum. From that moment
on she was a devoted mum. My sister came along in 1981 . She was so devoted to her family we
visited our gran regular as mum and gran were close. Gran always told me stories about mum as a
child and the way she used to bring dead blackbirds into the house as she wanted my grandad to make
them well again. She had a happy childhood with her 4 sisters and brother.

Mum was set in her old ways and raised us in the same way she was raised she was fairly strict and
the boundaries were firm. She didn`t like to shout (she left that to dad), but i could always talk
to her she was always there for me and she made me strong independant women. I got alot af family
values from her and also learnt how to be a good mum she passed so much onto me. She was so kind.

Mum i love you so much and can`t wait till we meet again i know when my time comes you will be there
waiting for me with your arms wide open ready to embrace me and take me back under your loving
wings. But please help me look after dad he is heart broken and i don`t always know what to do so i
need your guidance.

Mum lived for the family i remember when i got pregnat at 17 she said she was not going to have
anything to do with the baby but once i started to show she couldn`t do enough she offered to buy
everything, then Jordan was born and she then became a devoted grandma. Then 4 years ago along came
Chelsea and she was smitten. Four months later i became prgnant again this time it was twins and mum
laughed at me. They were born 3 months early and without her i wouldn`t have coped she took control
she looked after Chelsea everyday so that i could go to the hospital she even cooked my dinners to
make sure that i ate i can honestly say i wouldn`t have coped without her. She loved all her grand
children but she seemed to favour Chelsea they had such a strong bond and she would regulary ask for
Chelsea at weekend and holidays. When she went shopping she always came back with toys clothes
sweets etc for them. She lived for them and they couldn`t have asked for a better grandma. Chelsea
has alot of memories that will stay with her as she loved been at yours infact i think she preferred
it to her home.

I will continue to tell the kids about you especially Michael and Aimee as they are so young and
they seem to think you will be coming home but Chelsea puts them straight and tells them that you
are in heaven with grandma Olive and aunty Margaret and all the other angels. I`ve heard her talking
to you and telling you what shes done that day. She really misses you we all do, but for a 4 year
old she is so grown up. You will never be forgotten.


She was always flying off somewhere hot in the middle of winter and ringing us to rub it in about
how sunny it was, but she deserved it she`d raised her family and that was her time to do all the
things she didnt/couldn`t do before.

She was such a special person but most importantly she was my best friend as well as my mother and i
could talk to her about anything, i love you so much mum xx
