My mum. My best friend.

A talented and gifted lady, specialising in music. She was a music teacher in various schools, and
also taught piano lessons privately. She brought her gift of music to many children helping them
also enjoy what she loved.

Mum has 2 children, my brother and myself, and 5 grandchildren,and 2 great grandchildren, 1 of her
greatgrand children is in spirit, as he was still born only 6 weeks ago.

Mum had a great sense of humour, and despite her disability, scoliosis of the spine ( curvature for
those who dont know what scoliosis is) she never allowed it to affect her, a really brave lady.

She lived her life to the full the brief 57 yrs she had here on earth.
She knew her 1st grandson Rob, my son now aged 22 yrs, and also my daughter Cathy, now aged 18yrs,
she also lived to see the birth of my nephew Stephen, now aged 10 yrs, and my nephew James now 9 yrs
old today the day after mum's b'day!
She didnt live to see her 2nd grand daughter Sarah Jayne, now 5, or her 2 great grand children Alfie
aged 2 and a half or baby Jack who was still born.

Photo I'm putting is of Mum with her 1st 2 grandson's.

We went to one of your fav places today!

Hello Mum.

We went to one of your favourite places today, Romney,Hythe and Dymchurch railway!

Alfie loved the miniature steam engines, and sat in little tiny carriage with his mum Cathy.

It evoked so many memories, happy ones, of times we had been there when I was small, and you also took Rob there with me , so going back 30 yrs and then again 21 yrs.

If you could have been with us today you would loved to have seen Alfie enjoying it as the 3rd generation.
In spirit you would have been there I hope to think.

Love you old bag and so miss those times.

For those who dont know we had our own affectionate nick names for eachother! Old bag was one of them! Alway's in fun,

Still missing you and loving you
My number 1 mum. xxx

Footsteps...

GOD sees when the footsteps all falter. When the pathway has grown to steep. Then he touches the weary lids and gives his dear one's sleep.

Hello Nanny...

Happy birthday for yesterday.

Although I didnt really know u aswell as I would have liked, I still miss u and love u loads.
I wish I could of had more time with u!

Life does these cruel things to us and taking u too soon is one!
I still cant believe that u my nanny wont walk in the door anymore and say ur silly phrases that u and mummy used to have and Bid!
I miss u calling my dad that silly name - but that still remains and he still gets called that, by mummy, sometimes bid and even Alfie... well kind of!

I hope you and Aunty Eva are having funny moments together, and watching over us all.. Hope u are looking after my little Jack who we never really got to meet.
I wish I could just cuddle u, my nanny! I have never really had a nan - only u and I never got to know u properly which hurts.
I hope Laddie and Mousse are with u playing around up there! lol...

I hope we get too see u, Jack and all our angels again!

Love you & Jack lots.

Love u and missing u.........every day

Hello Mum.
''Mum'' A word I used since I was so young. Since I could speak!.
I dreamt of you so much when you 1st died and in the months that follwed.

I dont love you or miss you any less now that almost 9 years have passed since you died.

It's gone too quickly, and you were gone too soon.

How I long to meet you to go shopping and all those things we did together, like a mum and daughter do.

I love you and miss you so much it's true.

Please come to me in a dream the way you used to do,
I liked that.

Happy birthday for yesterday, hope you are holding your baby great grandson Jack now.

I wish I was but taking comfort from fact that you have him now, in your arms.

See? Isnt he SO beautiful?

I love you mum more than ever,
Miss you loads,
Forever.

Love Jenny. xxx

PS: Say hello to Nan ( your mum) and grandad ( your dad) and great aunty Eva, (your aunty.)
