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,
REMEMBER
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

This morning when I wakened
And saw the sun above,
I Softly said, “Good Morning Lord,
...Bless everyone I love!”
Right away I thought of you
And said a loving prayer
That He would bless you specially
And keep you free from care!
I thought of all the happiness
A day could hold in store;
I wished it all for you because
No one deserves it more!
I felt so warm and good inside
My heart was all aglow---
I know God heard my prayer for you
---He hears them all you know!

We had so little time to share,
Too soon, I had to leave.
I know how much you love me,
I know how much you grieve.
I know how sharp your pain is,
I feel the aching in your hearts.
My life so quickly ended
Before it barely had a start.
I remember how you held me,
And kissed my face and hands,
You cuddled me so gently;
But, God had other plans.
I was your perfect angel,
From God you knew I came,
Suddenly he called me home again,
And now God holds my hand.
I know you’ll always miss me,
I understand your pain is hard to bear.
Just remember that I’m in heaven
And we’ll see each other there.
So smile when you think of me
And wipe away all of your tears
I’m cuddled now in heaven
By our family members here.
I’m waiting here in heaven,
And on the day we meet again.
I’ll be the first to smile and greet you,
When God calls you home.

Hug Is The Perfect Drug
No moving parts, no batteries.
No monthly payments and no fees;
Inflation proof, non-taxable,
In fact, it’s quite relaxable;
It can’t be stolen, won’t pollute,
One size fits all, do not dilute.
It uses little energy,
But yields results enormously.
Relieves your tension and your stress,
Invigorate your happiness;
Combats depression, makes you beam,
And elevates your self esteem!
Your circulation it corrects
Without unpleasant side effects
It is, I think, the perfect drug:
May I prescribe, my friend… the hug!
And, of course, fully returnable!

I’m sorry you are hurting
But there’s nothing I can do
I’m watching you from up above
I wish you weren’t so blue
If there was anything
That I could do or say
I take away your pain
I’d make it go away
I know you cannot see me
But please be rest assured
I’m by your side every day
And I can hear what you say
I love you too and miss you more
But please do not be sad
I want to see you smile again
I don’t want you to feel bad
You see I know something now
I did not know before
I’m in a place where we will meet
And be together for ever more

♥ A SHINING STAR ♥
When I had to leave you
I didn't go too far
Look up to the Heavens
I’m a Brilliant shining star
May this light show you
As it glistens from above
A very special thank~you
When you lifted me with love
A little star that brightly shines
A star that’s free from pain
Held gently in God's loving arms
Until we meet again
As you go on your journey
Be the best that you can be
And know that God is there for you
As he is here for me
When we miss each other
And what each other near
You shine your light upon the earth
And I'll shine my light up here
So we will always remember
When we seem so far apart
To shine our lights together
With love upon our hearts

If Heaven Had A Phone
I cannot dial your number,
I can't get through to you,
I called the operator,
She did all that she could do.
There is no code for heaven,
I cannot place the call,
No numbers left to call,
I reckon I've tried them all.
If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
If heaven had a phone,
There's things I want to say.
To tell you that I love you,
And miss you every day,
How much I prayed to god,
That he could let you stay.
If heaven had a phone,
I'd ring you every day,
If heaven had a phone,
I'd hear your voice, know you're okay,
I just want to speak to heaven,
Please do you have a direct line,
Operator says no number,
But your loved one says they're doing fine.

nan i miss you sooo sooo much xxxx
nan. i mean where do i start.
im so sorry for not coming on here every single day like i used too, but things have got so hard recently.
you no dad used to be in and out of hospital, fight his way and get better again and again, well this time they reckon he wont make it. i keep telling them he could he faught his way before, he got better didnt he? but it just seems like theyve given up on him. they have stopped his daily medications, the drips they have been giving him for the past weeks and the canulas and blood transfusions.
they are giving him pain relief, im so upset ive cried every single day. the nurses are really nice so i know its serious this time. i stayed again last night in his room at the hospital.
i just wish he could get better, we've lost the best nan in the world, and now im praying with every single bit of me for dad to pull through.
when i say, 'could he get a bit better?, just a little bit?' they nod there heads and im just a mess.
i dont know how much more i can take i am crying now i can hardly see the screen, its been non stop tears for everyone.
i really really hope he can get through i mean they say hes got no chance, i know he gets confused but hes still his same cheeky self winking and winding up the nurses, pulling those faces.
its terrible sitting there and seeing him in pain, knowing you cannot do anything to help it.
i rub his aqueous cream in 2 or 3 times a day. brush his teeth and wash his face daily.
i just dont know why so much happens to our family.
we never have any good luck.
it seems like when i think things are getting better i get hit ten times harder and things get worse...alot worse.
i mean i dunno whate to do anymore nanny.
i wish you was here you would wouldnt you
love you so so so so much and if im not on here you must know your in my thoughts
miss you like anything wish you was here with us lot special no1 precious nanny cartey
gem xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
~~~~~~~~~~~ Someday ~~~~~~~~~~~
Someday once more we'll meet you,
No one knows just when,
We'll meet in a lovely place
Never to part again.
Someday once more we'll meet you
And feel your tender touch
And tell you again what you've always known
That we love you very much
