my mum had 3 brothers ronnie, lenny and peter, ronnie and lenny both died when they were small , so she grew up with her other brother peter, who passed away in 2001,ten months after her own death, she is survived by her only daughter michelle . She passed away after a short illness due to having cancer which nobody knew about.
my mum was a wonderful person, well loved and respected by everyone who knew her, she worked hard all her life. she was born in forest gate, london and settled in brighton after the war. my mum was one of those people who if ever you met her you couldnt help but like her, i have never heard any one ever say a bad word against her, i was her only daughter and i loved her so very much.She had five grandchildren, who she doted on, and one great granddaughter who she was so proud of. She was the life and soul of any party and she knew how to enjoy life. But in october, 1987, my daughter karen hadaway (who has a site on here) was murdered, my mum took her death very badly, and the light seemed to go out of her life, she spent a lot of time staying with me and the rest of her grandchildren, it was as if she didnt want to be away from us for any length of time. She would go to work and come and stay with us at weekends, but when she had to retire early because of her eyesight, she was always with us, she was the nicest, kindest person ever, and never failed to make people laugh, she loved a drink and use to smoke like a trooper, but she truly had a heart of gold, and i miss the unconditional love she used to give me. She fell ill with a bad chest infection, but had been going to the doctors for neally a year with a bad chest, i surpose because she smoked, the doctors just put it down to reacuring chest infections when in actual fact she was suffering from advanced lung cancer,which had spread to other parts of her body in such a short space of time. when the hospital told me that she didnt have long to go, i moved into the hospital and stayed with her night and day, but really i wanted her to go to her own flat and die peacefully there, but when this was arranged , i had to travel home to see my family as i had'nt seen them for neally two weeks, my eldest daughter was looking after the youngest and she also had her little girl to look after,but she did a fantastic job and i was so proud of her as she and my oldest son knew there nan was near the end and i knew she didnt have long left and i was in a turmoil because i just didnt know how to tell my two youngest children,it had only been17 months since they lost their father, lee hadaway (he has a site on here as well), the hospital told me nothing and couldnt even offer me any leaflets i was so angry with them,but on the one day i left my mum, they decided to bring her home to her own flat, my eldest son was there to care for her untill i got there,but that night my mum collapsed, so i told my son to call an ambulence to take her back to the hospital. my son stayed with her untill i got there the next day, only to find my mother had been lying in the bed for 16 hours in the hospital corridor i went mad and just wanted to take her home, but they wouldnt let me, i wanted my mum to die with all her family around her, in her own surroundings and for the next week i battled with that hospital, over one thing or another but i wouldnt leave her,i stayed in the day room and slept on the sofa, when i eventually told my children they were heart broken, and still are my mum maisie passed away on easter sunday in the year 2000, but although i stayed with her untill the end, i went to have a drink and my mum died peacefully holding my eldest daughter lyndseys hand. mum i love you with all of my heart, and we all laugh because we have your ashes on the unit so you never ever miss what is goin on you were a wonderful lady and i am so proud you were my mum.

MUM
God looked around his garden,
and found an empty place
he then looked down upon this earth
and saw your tired face,
He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest
gods garden must be beautiful
he only takes the best.
he knew that you were suffering
he knew you were in pain
he knew that you would never
get well on earth again
he saw the road was getting tough
and the hills were hard to climb
so he closed your weary eyelids
and whispered 'peace be thine'
it broke our hearts to lose you
but you did'nt go alone
for part of us went with you
the day god called you home.
a light is from our household gone
a voice we loved is stilled
a place is vacant in our home
that never can be filled
the happy hours we once enjoyed
how sweet our memories still
but death has left an empty place
this world can never fill.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WE MAY MEASURE OUR ROAD TO WISDOM
BY THE SORROWS WE HAVE UNDERGONE.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
god grant me the serenity
to accept the things i cannot change
courage to change the things i can
and the wisdom to know the difference.
living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time
accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
that i may be reasonably happy
in this life
and supremely happy
with the lord forever in the next.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FOR MY WONDERFUL MUM MAISIE WITH ALL MY LOVE FOREVER AND A DAY
FROM YOUR LOVING DAUGHTER MICHELLE XXXXXXX
SOMEWHERE IN MY HEART,
BENEATH ALL OF THIS PAIN
IS A SMILE I STILL WEAR
AT THE SOUND OF YOUR NAME
THE PRECIOUS WORD IS 'MOTHER'
SHE WAS MY WORLD YOU SEE,
BUT NOW MY HEART IS BROKEN
COS SHE'S NO LONGER HERE WITH ME.
GOD CHOSE HER FOR HIS ANGEL
TO WATCH ME FROM ABOVE,
TO GUIDE ME AND ADVISE ME
AND TO KNOW THAT I'M STILL LOVED.
THE DAY SHE HAD TO LEAVE ME
HER LIFE ON EARTH WAS THROUGH
BUT GOD HAD BETTER PLANS FOR HER,
FOR THIS I SURELY KNEW.
WHEN I THINK OF HER KIND HEART,
AND ALL THOSE LOVING YEARS
BECAUSE WE'RE ONLY HUMAN
THEY'RE BOUND TO BRING US TEARS.
SHE TRULY WAS MY BEST FRIEND,
SOMEONE I COULD CONFIDE IN
SHE ALWAYS HAD A TENDER TOUCH
A SOFT AND GENTLE LAUGH AND GRIN.
I WANT TO THANK YOU MOTHER
FOR TEACHING ME SO WELL
EVEN THOUGH THE TIME HAS COME
THAT I MUST BID YOU FAREWELL.
I'LL REMEMBER ALL YOU'VE TAUGHT ME
TO PUT GOD ABOVE ALL OTHER,
FOR I HAD NO BETTER TEACHER,
THAN YOU, MY DEAR MOTHER.
EVEN THOUGH YOU'VE LEFT THIS EARTH
AND HAD TO TAKE YOUR FLIGHT
I KNOW THAT YOU ARE HERE WITH ME
EACH MORNING, NOON AND NIGHT.
IF ROSES GROW IN HEAVEN LORD
DELIEVER SOME FROM ME
PLACE THEN IN MY MOTHERS ARMS
AND TELL HER THERE FROM ME
TELL HER I LOVE AND MISS HER
AND WHEN SHE TURNS TO SMILE
PLACE A KISS UPON HER CHEEK,
AND HOLD HER FOR A WHILE
BECAUSE SHE IS A ROSE IN HEAVEN
SHE WILL BLOSSOM IN HIS LOVE,
BLESSED BY HEAVENS ANGELS
IN HIS GARDEN UP ABOVE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MUM TO SOME YOU WERE PART OF THE WORLD
TO US WHO LOVED YOU YOU WERE THE WORLD.
THE SADDEST WORLD THAT MANKIND KNOWS
WILL ALWAYS BE GOODBYE.
GOD BLESS YOU MUM XXXXXXXXX

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND EVERYONE
THIS TRIBUTE IS FOR FRIDAY (BUSY DAY FOR ME)
Our Lives changed, the very moment you passed away.
We couldn't stop it; there was nothing we could say.
You've touched our lives so deeply to a point you will never know,
We try to think about you when we are feeling down and low.
Sometimes when our day gets hard we will think about your beautiful smile
And if we listen hard enough we will hear your voice after a while.
It's you who give us a reason to go on with our day,
And now if we want to see you we'll bow our heads and pray.
We catch ourselves looking for you still, in the halls and at the front door,
But when we call your name there is no reply any more!
We 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 we ask- why can't you give them back;
It seems like such a simple task. We guess people are right when they say God only takes the best,
We know enough now that you're peacefully at rest.
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X
You can shed tears that they are gone,
Or you can smile because they lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that they will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that they have left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see them
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember them and only that they are gone
Or you can cherish the memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what they would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X
I'm writing this from heaven, where I dwell with God above.
Where there's no more tears or sadness, there's just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy because I am out of sight
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
And I will stay beside you, every day, week and year
And when you're sad I'll still be there to wipe away your tears.
When you think of my life on earth and all those living years
Because your only human their bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry it does relieve the pain
Remember there wouldn't be flowers unless we first had rain.
I wish I could tell you of all that God has planned
But even if I were able to, you wouldn't understand.
When your going down the street and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps and only half a step behind.
And if you feel a gentle breeze or wind upon your face
Remember it's only me with a loving and soft embrace.

WITH LOVE FROM TINA ALWAYS !
I'M SPENDING CHRISTMAS WITH JESUS THIS YEAR
(unknown author)
I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below.
With tiny lights, like heaven's stars
Reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away that tear.
For I am spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs
That people hold so dear.
But the sounds of music can't compare
With the Christmas choir up here.
For I have no words to tell you
The joy their voices bring.
For it is beyond description
To hear as angels sing.
I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart
For I am spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.
I can't tell you of the splendor
Or the peace here in this place
Can you just imagine Christmas
With our Savior, face to face?
I 'll ask Him to light your spirit
As I tell Him of your love
So then pray one for another
As you lift your eyes above.
So please let your hearts be joyful
And let your spirit sing
For I'm spending Christmas in heaven
And I'm walking with the KING!
