Born 2nd September 1944
Went to heaven - 25th September 2007
aged 63.

my nan was the best nan in the whole wide world, so precious, so special the biggest heart of gold
going.
nan was just like dad, do anything for anyone.
nan used to be in hospital quite a bit but when she was in i would go up every single day after
school and on weekends, if it meant riding, walking, catching the bus i was there to see nan.
we was so close anyway, seeing as we only lived around the corner and when dad was in hospital for 4
months we lived with nan and grandad.
nan was such a happy person, and always made me smile.
she took us up the hospital every night to see dad whilst he was ill in hospital, and we'd visit him
to make him feel better in himself so he could improve, although i didnt think a year later my dad
would then be back with his mum and become an angel too.

i used to go up every day and see nan, and every day we went up we got chips and there was this
bottle of garlic sauce, i used to use like half a bottle a week and my nan would say to me 'corr gem
they know when your up here, because they have to order more of that sauce!' the women in the bed
opposite said if me and my brother carried on eating chips we would turn in to potatoes that made me
giggle.
nan would make me laugh all the time, and i loved being with her.
she was the kindest person and such a caring person doing things for people even if she was ill, she
wouldnt hurt a fly. although she was ill she done everything for us, helped us move house, sorted
out my school stuff and any problems i had, if a teacher has a problem nan would be straight on the
phone to them.
she made sure us 4 kids were sorted out before anything else being the considerate kind hearted
person she was.
always offering to do things for others, she made everyone laugh and always listened to my day at
school or things that i had been doing.
nothing will ever be the same, christmas was nans favourite time of the year, she used to loved
decorating her christmas tree from head to toe in red and white tinsell and covering with sparkly
balls, and to see our faces at the presents and not caring what we had brought her because she said
it was the thought that counted.
if i could have one wish i know exactly what it would be it would be for nan to be here with us all,
the old times, id give anything. its so horrible to know she wont ever walk through the door again,
never ring me up and say hello, or kiss me goodbye. noone could ever replace nan, she was like a mum
to me and now shes gone part of me is missing, its will never be the same.

Just when i thought things couldnt get much worse they do, we never get any luck.
the nurses were even thinking about letting my nan come home because she had improved so much.

I remember the day I got told she had gone to join the other beautiful angels in the sky.
i was at school, and i already had my bus ticket to go see her after school during the day everyone
was like 'gem you walking home?' and id be like 'no sorry im going to see my nan'
so it got to my last lesson and i had been drinking lots of fizzy drinks and was laughing lots, so i
got moved to the back of the classroom. when i saw a teacher walking past my class with my older
brother Ashley i didnt think anything of it, untill i got a knock at the door and got told to follow
her. not one part of me actually thought it was anything to do with nan, in fact i thought my dad
had become ill, so then we went to my twin brother aarons class to pick him up. and he said to me
'its nan' i can tell its nanny, i said dont be stupid al nans getting better.
we walked in to reception and my dad and alan (my dads best mate) were sitting there my dads eyes so
so red and i just thought for a moment, seriously whats going on.
my dad took ash in to the room at first and sat him down and told him and come to see me, and told
me. i didnt believe it, i didnt even think it was true.
i carried my phone by me for about 3 weeks hoping it was all a mistake and that nan would ring me up
and tell me she was all ok.
but there was nothing, part of me was gone and i knew i wouldnt ever get it back till i was with her
again.
i went to see nan and put in a letter i had wrote for her, and a little no1 nan plaque thing, as i
knew it would be the last time.

she has her special garden up the cemetry where we all put flowers and gifts for her.
its so pretty and by far one of the brightest at night with all those lights.
on christmas she has her tree and lights and looks so pretty.



R.I.P Nanny i love you,

Always in our memory.

Tributes For This Weekend

THE GIFT OF MEMORY……

One gift, above all others
God gives to us to treasure
One that knows no time, no place
And one gold cannot measure

The precious, poignant tender gift
Of Memory...that will keep
Of dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep

It brings back long remembered things
A song, a word, a smile
And the world's a better place
...because
We had them for awhile!

I AM YOUR ANGEL......

I am an angel by your side,
Don't be scared or try to hide.
For I am here guiding you the way,
By your side here to stay.....

I will be with you, when times are hard,
So please do not worry, or put up a guard.
For I want you too see I am still here,
To keep you safe, and keep you near....

As an angel I want so much for you to know,
'How much I Love And Miss You So'
So if you see me, please do not hide,
I am the angel by your side...

Family Chain

We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

I PROMISE I WILL HEAR…..

Don't think of me as dead and gone
Please understand I have just moved on
God took my hand
When you thought I had died

And led me over to the other side.
There's a better life
Than the one we know
And to it one day we all must go

No more pain, hardship,
Or times of misery
Instead there's all our loved ones
As happy as can be.

You may not see me for a little while
Hear me laugh or see me smile
But I promise you with all my heart
From the ones I love I will never part.

I will always be with you,
However far you walk
I will always listen,
When you feel you need to talk

So when you are saddened
Or driven to despair
Take comfort from the knowledge
That I am always there.

One day soon I will share with you
The happiness I have found
And you will see life doesn't end
Six feet beneath the ground

Forget about graveside visits
And fresh flowers every day
A yearly verse in the papers
Is surely not the way

When there is something you want to say
Or you wish that I was near
Just talk to me like you always did
I promise I will hear.

You Are Special

Long, long ago God made a decision -
a very important decision...
one that I'm really glad He made.
He made the decision to make you.
The same hands that made the stars made you
The same hands that made the canyons made you.
The same hands that made the trees and
the moon and the sun made you.
That's why you are so special. God made you.
He made you in a very special way.
He made your eyes so they would twinkle.
He made your mouth so you could smile.
He made your laugh so you could giggle.
God made you like no one else.
If you looked all over the world - in every city in every
house - there would be no one else like you...
no one with your eyes,
no one with your mouth,
no one with your laugh.
You are very, very special.


SORRY FOR FOR YESTERDAY NOT VERY WELL.
LOVE AS ALWAYS XXX

Tribute For This Weekend
A Special Angel

There's a special angel in heaven
That is a part of me
It is not where I wanted him
But where God wanted him to be
He was here but just a moment
Like a night time shooting star
And though he is in heaven
He isn't very far
He touched the heart of many
Like only and angel can do
I would've held him more often
If the end I only knew
So I send this special message
To the heavens up above
Please take care of my angel
And send him all my love

♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥♫AC♥

How I Feel

I don't know how to feel
It's all locked up inside,
The emptiness is waking
The tears are running dry.
Your the one who held me
Gave comfort when things went wrong,
What do I do without you
I feel my faith is gone.
My heart just doesn’t realise
That you are really gone.
A loss that came so suddenly
But will last my whole life long.
Our time just meant so much too me
I know it always will
The memories locked inside of me
Forever to hold on too
You told me that we'd be,
Together forever more
Part of each others lives
But now the door is closed.
Never too be opened
Kept locked on both sides now
Although you may have gone away
Your spirit will forever stay

My Life Changed



My Life changed, the very moment I found out
That you had passed away.
I couldn't stop it;
There was nothing I could say.

You've touched my life so deeply
To a point you will never know,
I try to think about you
When I am feeling down and low.

Sometimes when my day gets hard
I will think about your beautiful smile
And if I listen hard enough
I will hear your voice after a while.

It's you who give me a reason
To go on with my day,
And now if I want to see you
I'll bow my head and pray.

I catch myself looking for you still,
In the halls and at your front door,
But when I call your name
There is no reply any more!

I never thought a day would come
Where we would be apart,
God has you in his keepings,
We have you in our hearts.

Life will go on, but never will be the same,
Your beautiful smile is gone, but it will always remain.
You're our angel from up above.
You'll always be missed, but most importantly... loved.

Just one more minute,
God, is all I ask- why can't you give her back;
It seems like such a simple task.
I guess people are right

When they say God only takes the best,
I know enough now that you're peacefully at rest.
