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
You raised us very well mum and that will stay with us forever, xxxxx

Don't Tell Me...
Don't tell me that you understand, don't tell me that you know,
Don't tell me that I will survive, how I will surely grow.
Don't tell me this is just a test, that I am truly blessed,
That I am chosen for this task, apart from all the rest.
Don't come at me with answers that can only come from me,
Don't tell me how my grief will pass, that I will soon be free.
Don't stand in pious judgment of the bonds I must untie,
Don't tell me how to suffer, don't tell me how to cry.
My life is filled with selfishness, my pain is all I see,
But I need you, I need your love, unconditionally.
Accept me in my ups and downs, I need someone to share,
Just hold my hand and let me cry, and say,
"My friend, I really do care."

ANGELS ARE REAL
Where are you my Precious one i long to see your face?
I need to kiss and hold you and never let you go.
I cannot understand why someone so precious had to die.
My heart it has stopped beating i dont feel it anymore.
Why my God did you take my little girl so soon?
Have i done something wrong to deserve this terrible pain?
I know that you have took her back to take her pain away.
Yet i know she did not want to die her time was far too soon.
She fought this terrible disease every single minute of the day
And even when she was in pain she still had time to say
" I Love You All So Very Much"
My anger keeps me going its the only strength i have.
Knowing that my angel was robbed of everything.
She had everything to Live for 13 Years was not enough.
And so i hope you understand why i sometimes question my faith.
I wake up every morning hoping it was all a bad dream.
Hoping that she'll walk through the door and cuddle me once more.
I know its my turn now to fight and find the truth.
Why my Precious Daughter should never have left us that day.
You died on valentines day making you one very special angel.
And so from now on that day will always be called (Emmas Day).
So every night even though i cant see you, i hold and kiss your picture.
Remember that my love for you is stronger everyday.
For everytime i lay down on my pillow i know you are next to me .
Your arms wrapped around me wiping away my tears.

ANGEL ARMS.
*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***
I can feel it all around,
My eyes can almost see.
The miracle that I’ve found,
In the love you have for me.
Standing guard so gracefully,
Keeping me safe with your love.
I live my life so happily,
Because God sent you from above.
The gentle touch of Angel Wings,
Brushing softly against my face.
Is just one of the mysterious things,
That leaves an Angel’s trace.
So I know my Angel’s here,
Keeping me safe from harm.
No safer place anywhere,
Then wrapped inside Angel Arms

REMEMBER
Remember me with a smile
Now my life on this earth is done.
My dreams have all been fulfilled
And a new life has just begun.
Remember me with a smile
When grief may cause you to weep.
One day we will laugh once again
When our Heavenly meeting we keep.
Let's be thankful we shared precious love,
Keep the memories warm for a while,
Let them bring peace to your heart
And remember me - with a smile.

*~*~* LOVED AND LONGED FOR *~*~*
My soul is released in Heaven,
My spirit is in the wind,
I've arrived inside God's kingdom,
In Heaven here with Him.
Inside this place of beauty,
Enchantment always near,
Far past imagination,
This land that has no fear.
Think of me, when butterflies
Are flying everywhere,
I'm singing, dancing, laughing,
Free from earth's despair.
The other side of tomorrow,
Within God's time you'll see,
I know He'll bring you safely home,
Then forever we will be.
Keep a song inside your heart,
And know that I am free,
Do not weep in sorrow,
When you remember me.

✿ My Place for You ✿
There is a secret place
Within the heart of me
Where thoughts of you return
Like haunting melodies.
The voice I loved, now still,
Is whispering inside,
It stirs fond memories
Which in my heart reside.
Old feelings spring to life;
It is as if you're near,
Speaking words of comfort
"Remember I'm still here".
I know it is a dream
My heart so loves this song;
Souvenirs I store away
In the place where they belong.

All Is Well
Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household world that it always was,
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It it the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
Just around the corner.
All is well.
Henry Scott Holland
1847-1918
Life Goes On
If I should go before the rest of you
Break not a flower
Nor inscribe a stone
Nor when I am gone
Speak in a Sunday voice
But be the usual selves
That I have known
Weep if you must
Parting is hell
But life goes on
So .... sing as well
Joyce Grenfell
1910-1979
A Child Loaned
"I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine." He said.
"For you to love the while he lives
And mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven year
Or twenty-two or three
But will you, till I call him back
Take care of him for Me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you
And should his stay be brief,
You'll have his lovely memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay
Since all from Earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want the child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
In my search for teacher's true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you;
Now will you give him all your love,
Nor think the labour vain
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, They will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
For the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may,
And for the happiness we've known,
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for him
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand."

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night
Do not go gentle into that good night
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked not lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay ,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Dylan Thomas
1914-53

Elegy for Your Absence
H.R. Hays
In that moment you sailed for all of death
Into profound oceans of silence
With long hours of sleeping pupils,
And a flock of doves caught in your dreams.
Now you are already in distant moonlight,
More yourself than in the arrows of your golden clock
Where you reckoned such a shoreless moment
For the thirst of wings that was burning on your shoulders.
You shall have vaulted seas stared at by inquietude,
Abysses in the timid solitude of your absence;
And in the night you shall have been delicate warm breeze
Close to that crumb of our amorous earth.
Long embrace of breath over the poppies
And a laugh and a song without words or music;
With a “Here I am,” glad of past wakefulness,
And a “forever” warm in the cool plain.
As you leave pressed in the arms of silence
The light of our words shall echo more clearly
And in each stanza of air an accent shall be entangled
And in each butterfly more wings shall be born to you.
Gladness of being alive for that eternal day,
Knowing yourself in the water, in the sun, and in the grass.
Among the clouds you shall make nativities of silver
And you shall discover your nest in a tree of stars.
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
