Thank you to everyone who lit candles
left tributes and gifts for my mum,
while i was away.
xxxxx
Thank You x
------------------------------------------
Mum you looked so peaceful at the chapel of rest, and was still smiling when we came to see you.
You looked lovely in pink and white,
and your hair was perfect, just like always.
hope you liked everything we left there with you.
Rest In Peace Mum Love you forever
gone but never ever forgotten xxxx ♥
You were and always will be a very special person,
You were also my best friend mum.
you never smoked, always ate healthy, and was always swimming, or walking, and kept youself fit,
and still working as a swimming teacher,
they nicknamed you SUPERGRAN... :-) xxx
you even took your pool lifeguard exam, at the age of 62, and passed it as well.
you never gave up trying to achieve the things you wanted,
What you have achieved is amazing,
loads of swimming awards badges,certificates, and you must of swam thousands and thousands of miles
over the years, you have probally swam round the world and back,
and the amount of people you have learnt to swim is uncountable.
you did not want to retire as you loved your job, teaching children and adults to swim,
and when you were not working
we walked lucky for miles, he slept for ages afterward lol, espically in the summer days, you even
had one of them step counters which was always resetting itself as you never stopped walking, except
when you were asleep.
we went out together loads either shopping, or we went for a meal, or for walks, or you went
swimming or trainning.
we used to watch tv together,or listen to music or watch a dvd,only fools and horses, or carry on
films or midsomer murder, you also loved anything with animals in and you loved dogs , you were
always very active, you loved doing wordsearch books, and them Magic eye books where you stare at
the picture and something would appear which i could never do lol.
I did offer to teach you to drive a while ago, but you said thanks but noooooo and was better as a
passenger. xxx
Thats why none of this makes sense, you were so energetic, always ready to go somewhere, or do
something and had loads to live for, so full of energy, and loved life and your family and friends.
How you became so poorly so quick
life just seems so cruel :-(
and very unfair.
I was always very protective of you
and still will be.
xxxxx♥xxxxxx
just wish i could of protected you from getting cancer, then you would of not caught septicemia
(blood poisoning)
whilst in hospital.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
You have been married to dad for 40 years, and had 2 children me and are adey, and a grandson carlos
xxxxx
you were and always will be a Special mum, special wife,special nana, special sister a special
auntie a special cousin and a special sister in law,
and a very special friend also a special neighbour.
Marion also misses you loads and says you are a very special mother in law and a great friend.
(hope i,ve not missed anyone )
Hope You have met jack the dog we had when i was young R.I.P Jack Cook xxxx
You would always be there to help people out anyway you could, You would listen to peoples problems,
and always understood,
and you never had a bad word to say about anybody, you always had a smile on your face, and you also
loved animals, Every single one of us misses you so much,
all the family and all your friends, and lucky misses you loads as well.
Loads of people looked up to you mum you were a brilliant role model.
A very very special Mum and lady.xxxx

Angels
May angels rest beside your door,
May you hear their voices sing.
May you feel their loving care for you,
May you hear their peace bells ring.
May angels always care for you,
And not let you trip and fall,
May they bear you up on angel's wings,
May they keep you standing tall.
May they whisper wisdom in your ear,
May they touch you when you need,
May they remove from you each trace of fear,
May they keep you from feeling greed.
May they fill you with their presence,
May they show you love untold,
May they always stand beside you
And make you ever bold.
May they teach you what you need to know
About life here and here-after.
May they fill you always with their love
And give you the gift of laughter

Where Did You Come From ?
Where did you come from, Baby dear?
Out of the everywhere into here.
Where did you get your eyes so blue?
Out of the sky as I came through.
What makes the light in them sparkle and spin?
Some of the starry spikes left in.
Where did you get that little tear?
I found it waiting when I got here.
What makes your forehead so smooth and high?
A soft hand stroked it as I went by,
What makes your cheek like a warm white rose?
I saw something better than anyone knows.
Whence that three-comer'd smile of bliss?
Three angels gave me at once a kiss.
Where did you get this pearly ear?
God spoke, and it came out to hear.
Where did you get those arms and bands?
Love made itself into hooks and hands.
Feet, whence did you come, you darling things?
From the same box as the cherubs' wings.
Where did you get that dimple so cute,
God touched my cheek as I came through.
How did they all come just to be you?
God thought of me, and so I grew.
But how did you come to us, you dear?
God thought of you, and so I am here.
George MacDonald, 1871

Angels Always There
Whenever I’m in fervent prayer
I feel God’s holy angels there;
Protective, loving, and serene;
Who stay nereby, tho yet unseen.
Thus, when I feel my heart might break,
I try to smile for Jesus’ sake;
Whose angels let my faith not dim
That I might see the smile of Him!

Enjoy such liberty.

When Great Trees Fall
(Maya Angelou)
When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Great souls die and
our reality, bound to
them, takes leave of us.
Our souls,
dependent upon their
nurture,
now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed
and informed by their
radiance,
fall away.
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable ignorance
of dark, cold
caves.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.

♥ Peace My Heart ♥
♥ Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.
♥ Let it not be a death but completeness.
♥ Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
♥ Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.
♥ Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.
♥ Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
♥ I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light your way.
♥ Rabindranath Tagore, Bengali poet and philosopher ♥

~ Snow ~
(Tessa Wilkinson)
The snow arrived unannounced.
It overwhelmed everything.
Changed the landscape so it was unrecognisable.
No one was prepared.
My grief feels like that snowstorm.
I feel changed, weighed down by the burden.
Trying to negotiate the new environment around me.
Not knowing where I am going.
Looking for familiar landmarks.
I feel cold and miserable and ill equipped in this new place unvisited before.
But I know in time the snow will melt and return the landscape to some semblance of normality.
And I know in time my grief will diminish and I will find my way forward again, back to a world that I recognise, changed, but familiar.
Spring does always come after winter and hope will return.
✽ܓ✽ܓ✽ܓ✽ܓ✽ܓ✽ܓ
Do you believe in angels
I know I surely do
The day I got my angel
Is the day god sent me you
I always feel your presence
As I’m going through my day
And during hard times and struggle
I can feel you as you pray
You’re always right there next to me
With everything I do
And when I need my angel
I’ll be calling out for you
All I have to do
Is look deep inside my heart
For you my angel are always there
And never shall we part

Magic Of A Rainbow
I'll never see a rainbow
That I won't think of you;
Though days seem bleak and dreary
The sun is shining through.
A symbol of God's love fulfilled
In beauty, hope and grace;
A rainbow is a mirror
Reflecting His own face.
It arches o'er the mountains
With Heaven its domain;
Its brilliant colors wakened by
The grayness and the rain.
Now may I see the rainbows sent
To ease my broken heart,
Promising His healing love,
Shine through when teardrops start.
Miraculous, magical rainbows,
Blessing the sadness with peace;
God gently smiling and touching,
Bidding the sadness cease.

SENT WITH LOVE BY HALINA.GODBLESSS BEAUTIFUL PRECIOUS ANGEL,LOVE HALINA XXXXX9TH NOV 09
My long lost angel, why did you go?
There's no answer, I may never know.
Smiling so bright, like white shiny gold.
Then you were laying there still and cold.
"God, please give her back, I need her here.
I will die here without her, I fear.
There's an emptiness deep in my soul.
With her gone, I'll never be whole."
This aching pain is so much to bear.
When I wake up and you are not there.
You were with me for just a short while.
I'll never forget your sweet little smile.
You staying here wasn't meant to be.
God needed an angel and gave you wings.
You'll always have a place in my heart.
When my time comes, we won't be apart.
My world is dark, no sun and no moon.
Wait for me angel, I'll be with you soon.
Briana Hall
can’t comprehend just how sad you must feel
For the loss of someone you love.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you’re looking for strength from above.
I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings–Amen.
Till then, if you need me to lighten your load,
I’m waiting to come to your aid.
Just call on me, and I’ll walk down that road,
Until the dark times start to fall
