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

We may no longer be together
As you're not here with me anymore
But I still feel you deep in my heart
Just the same as it was before.
When I gaze up at Heaven to you
And you look down on me
Our smiles light up the whole sky
For all of Heaven and Earth to see.
Knowing that you are at peace
Brings comfort to my sad heart
And I know God will take care of you
Now that we are apart.
Until we are together again
And sharing our heavenly home
I will always have my Angel in Heaven
Smiling down on me, and never be alone...

They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something,
So there won’t be any doubt,
You’re so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.
We cannot bring the old days back,
When we were all together,
The family chain is broken now,
But memories live forever.

Simply put ...I really miss you
I've continued to ask why
Life took this dreadful wrong turn...
Now I often sit and cry
Simply put ...my heart is broken
Most people have no clue
Unless they live this heartache...
They don't know what I've lived through
Simply put... I long to hug you
Share a gentle warm embrace
Often spend each day just wishing....
This truth could somehow be erased
Simply put... I can't remember...
The last time I heard your voice
Memories are often painful...
I was not given any choice
Simply put... I know I'm grieving
Won't get better through the years
I have learned some coping methods...
To accept this new frontier
Simply put... I'm good at masking
Denying what I feel
For I know deep down inside me...
I will never truly heal
Simply put...I really miss you
No one knows the pain I bear
Simply put... there is no reason
Losing you was just not fair

I see you in the evening
and the darkness of the night.
You're with me in the morning,
when all the world is bright.
I feel you in a breeze,
like a tender warm embrace;
I feel you when a snowflake
falls softly on my face.
I hear you when it thunders
and the world seems at an end;
I hear you whisper softly,
'One day your heart will mend'.
I hear you in a bird song
the humming of the bees.
Your voice is strong and vibrant
in the waves of stormy seas.
I see, I feel, I hear you,
you're there in all I do,
guiding and protecting,
until my life is through.
.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆
I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.
Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?
We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.
So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.

There is a place in every heart,
They call it Memory Lane,
Where thoughts of loved ones lost
Forever will remain.
God made this special place
When He first created man,
For He knew it would be needed,
As part of our life's plan.
He knew when loved ones left us,
We'd need some time to heal,
To come to terms with sorrow
And the loneliness we'd feel.
So when you lose a loved one
And your life is filled with pain,
The comfort of their presence
Will be found in Memory Lane.

As the sun came up this morning
I watched you there below
Your hearts seemed oh, so heavy
But theres something you should know
I'm not gone don't worry
I'm just a step ahead
And i'm with you every single day
As you rise up from your bed
I am the sun that warms you
I am the moons soft glow
I am the stars that twinkle
And lights your path below
So when at times you miss me
Just look for me i'm there
For you cannot hide my spirit
It is with you everywhere...
Love Always Elaine xxxxxxx

I see tears fall down your face
When your thoughts have turned to me.
Just know that I’m in heaven,
With my Lord, who’s set me free.
No pain or sadness do I feel,
For God is by my side.
The beauty here in Heaven
Is now where I reside.
I know it’s hard for you to cope
For you can’t feel my touch.
But every moment, I can see
And love you very much.
When you are at your lowest
And feel you can’t go on,
Look towards the heavens
The light will be turned on.
Talk to me, just like you did
On earth when I was there.
You see, I’m not so far away …
Only as far as a prayer.
And when it’s time for you to join
Me up in Heaven above.
It’s then that you will realize,
The Golden Place of love.
For here there is no sadness,
Just everlasting light.
Someday we will be joined again,
When it’s time to take your flight.
Love always elaine xxxxxxx
WORDS OF AN ANGEL
May the angels keep you till morning.
May they guide you through the night.
May they comfort all your sorrows.
May they help you win the fight.
May they keep watch on your soul.
May they show you better ways.
May they guard you while you're sleeping.
May they see you through your days.
May they show you new hopes.
May they still your every doubt.
May they calm your every fear.
May they hear you when you shout.
May the angels keep you til morning.
More than this I cannot pray.
And if the angels ever fail you.
Then may God be there that day.
**********************************
Angel of comfort
When each day brings only sadness
and your heart is filled with pain
You will find it hard to believe
that you'll ever smile again
But when your crying deep inside
an angel always hears
And will be there to comfort you
and wipe away your tears
There are wings of love around you
and you can depend upon
Your angel, who will give you hope
and the strength to carry on.

Love always elaine xxxxxxxxxxxxx
~~ The Hand Of God ~~
I felt the hand of god today
it touched my broken heart
it didn't mend it never will
but at least it was a start
He did his best to comfort me
and help me understand
the reason why he took you
into the promised land
The angels must have sung with joy
with arms outstretched with love
and welcome you into the home
they share with god in heaven above
His promise to the kind and good
is joy beyond compare
those things you were abundantly
and of joy you take your share
Try as we might it's hard to grasp
you are no longer here
for all we long for everyday
is to have and hold you near
Our days are filled with longing
to see your smiling face
to enjoy once more the happy times
and share a warm embrace
Instead we struggle on and on
the pain it will not go
with only memories to keep us sane
oh how we miss you so
It's hard to go on living
we are so tired and lonely
each day all we can think is
'why? and oh, if only'
But these are things we cannot change
as much as we might try
and so we go on thinking
'oh, if only and oh why?
Love Elaine xxxxxxxxxxxxx

God looked around his garden
which was a beautiful sight
he knew there would be others
who could come to him tonight
He tended to his garden daily
to make it a beautiful view
because he knew that others
would help him to tend it too
He prepared for new arrivals
morning, noon and even night
because he wanted heaven to be
a place that was just right
There was precious rosebuds
who didn't bloom on earth
and god had their presence
right from their very birth
There was mothers and fathers
who had gently gone to sleep
he wrapped himself around them
and in heaven he did safely keep
Also grandmothers and grandfathers
whom the angels did hold
keeping them so warm at night
if they should feel the cold
There was also aunts and uncles
maybe a nephew and a little niece
but you can rest assured
they are all very much at peace
If you have lost a dear loved one
their presence is still all around
you might not be able to hear them
but if you look they can be found
Fingerprints and lots of memories
pictures of them thats in your mind
and when you're really missing them
all these things that you can find
The handwriting thats on a card
and maybe a special autograph
and there again, within your mind
is cherished memories of their laugh
Maybe they also had a creative hand
and left behind for you so much
and when you're feeling sad and down
remember to treasure that touch
Go into your mind in times of sadness
and remember what they didn't take above
can you think of just one thing now.....?
well they didn't take with them their love
I know nothing really comforts us
when a cherished loved one has gone
never forget that in your heart and mind
they stay and will always linger on
Love Always ~~ Elaine (demi-leighs auntie, mary and jimmy hitchens daughter)x♥x
