I would like to do this memorial in memory of my wonderful mum who was very strong through all her
treatment in trying to get rid of her cancer, my mum had two daughters me and my sister Sarah who
she adored very much. My mum was a single parent and worked as an office clerk to bring in money to
pay the bills and also feed us unfortunately she was made redundant although she was upset and
worried about how she would manage the bills she always put on a brave face for us, then in 2005 our
world fell to pieces she was diagnosed with cancer she had a lump on her foot and when this was
removed it was discovered that it was cancerous she went on to having more treatment this included
having her toes amputated but this did not deter her from having a night out she would call her
friend up and say come on we are having fun so she did she went out on her crutches and danced the
night away on them she was very courageous, she then found out a few days after this that the cancer
had actually spread and she would have to have her foot amputated she still smiled we helped her and
tried to stay strong but it came to blows when she was admitted into a hospice and we were taken
into a quiet room me then 13 years and my sister then 10 years and we was told she would never pull
through and she only had days to live, oh mum our world fell apart from that day my heart was truly
broken I didn’t know what to say only is there no way of getting a healer in to help as silly as
it sounds now it was the only way I could help my mum.
I tried to do the best I could when she was alive trying to fight the cancer I slept on the sofa
cause she couldn’t get upstairs to bed so her bed was brought down to the living room and I stayed
sleeping there night in night out in case she needed me to help her.
My mum was an inspiration to both me and my sister and also all our friends they adored her and am
convinced they only came round to call for us so that they could see my mum.
Time has gone by now and things have very much changed my mum now has 3 grandsons and a
granddaughter Joshua, Jordan, Darren and Emma and I know that she will be up there looking down on
each and every one of them.
RIP my best friendXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

THANK YOU FOR LEAVING A MEMORIAL PICTURE AND LIGHTING A CANDLE IN REMEMBERANCE OF MY MUM IT MEANS SO
MUCH TO ME.

**************************************************
Mum you were a very special person always smiling always fun,
everyone that you knew loved you through and through,
its been so long since we last saw you,
but we keep on fighting through the days without you,
When you was suddenly taken from us days and nights seemed very long,
I know for sure that one day,
we will and shall meet again,
until that day we will keep strong for you my mum you were my best friend.
Love you forever and always
Clare. Xx
**************************************************

God came down and took your hand to lead you to his wonderland,
On the way he spoke in your ear this world is not right for you my dear,
Up above you met your dad this made you very glad,
As you sat there day and night wondering why your dad went that night,
For now you know he was up above ready to show you his everlasting love.
RIP MumX

Hugs from Heaven....

Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.

If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.

If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.

If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.

If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.

So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

MEMORIES OF YOU

Memories of you...
Will stay in my heart forever,
Memories of you...
I will always treasure.
Memories of you...
make me feel warm inside,
Memories of you...
are the love I cannot hide.
Memories of you...
help me through the day,
Memories of you...
will never fade away.
Memories of you...
are beautiful and dear,
They seem to grow still brighter
with every passing year.

A GUARDIAN ANGEL

Flew down from above,
To teach me a lesson
About the powers of love.
She whispers to me,
Take a hold of my hand,
There are so many things
I wish you to understand.
About the powers of love,
And all it can do,
To someone who needs
To share it with you.
A pat on the back,
A kind smile on your face,
Can make someone's life,
A much brighter place.
It doesn't take much,
To show someone you care,
To give them the love,
God gave you to share.
So please keep in mind,
All the powers you possess,
To grace someone's life,
When they're in distress.
You've been put on this earth
To bestow the powers of love,
And with those final words,
She disappeared up above.

Love Always Elaine xxxxx

.♥.•�. �•.♥.•�.�•.♥

They say there are no tears in Heaven,
But that must be wrong today.
Because you took part of my broken heart,
When you went away.
I know my tears must have followed you,
How else can it be?
My Spirit feels so broken,
Beause you’re no longer here with me.
They say someday I will accept your passing,
But, right now that can’t be true,
Because part of me is in Heaven,
My tears..... followed you....

FORGET ME NOT

Forget me not, for I am there
In the beat of your heart,
On the wing of your prayer.
Forgive me my parting and leaving you thus,
A joyous reunion is waiting for us!
Continue to strive toward your goal and be brave.
Know that my love did not stop at the grave.
My spirit is with you through good times and bad.
I share all the joys and the sorrows you have had.
Feel my presence within your next breath
And realize there is no distance in death.
Ask for my help and I will answer your call.
Reach for my hand when you stumble and fall.
Run the last mile with a smile on your face.
My arms will be waiting when you finish the race.
Always remember, my love is right th
In the beat of your heart,
On the wing of your prayer.

MERRY CHRISTMAS ANGELS

A Christmas Wish
How very much you're missed
Isn't easy to explain
For, words never could convey
The sadness and the pain.

Although gone now from this life
You've left memories to treasure
That are the sweetest kind
And will softly stay forever.

At Christmastime especially
You're missed throughout each day
And all those lovely memories
Are with us, here to stay
