A wonderful loving Mum, Sister, Nanna and friend.
I miss her everyday but have so many wonderful memories despite only being 13 when she left our lives. My Nanna loved playing bingo at 'The club' and went to Church everyday. She loved a drop of whiskey and I will always remember the smell of her hairspray as she got ready for the club. I remember the sound of the key in the door when she got home a little tipsy.
Her house was always welcoming and was a great place to be a child.
I was there when she slipped away out of pain reunited with her husband Albert and Brother in law Ian. A few years later her sister Molly died so I know they are all up there together playing bingo in the clouds. Rest in peace Nanna. x x

For you and only you!

The days go by and the years go passed
Time slips by far too fast
But the love that I hold for you is burning strong and true.
I just wish I could be there to say happy birthday to you!
The memories do not fade,the love is just the same
You are one in a million I'm so proud to speak your name
I will pray for you eternally until the stars grow cold
Your name is etched upon my heart in letters of pure gold!
With love always Nanna x x x

My Precious Rose

A rose grew in my garden it always made me smile
I would sit and just look at it and rest just for a while
Its beauty like no other in a league all of its own
Standing tall and proud and now fully grown
Oh the happiness it gave me and everyone around
I could have looked the world over but no other would I have found

One day I looked and noticed my precious rose was dying
It looked so sad and weak like it was tired of trying
How can this be I thought, this beautiful flower of mine
Why would you leave me, I have loved you all this time
You brought me so much happiness, really must you go?
You have so much beauty and I really love you so

My sun no longer shines as bright my garden seems so bare
I always long for those days when I knew that you were there
To see you lose your sparkle and watch you grow so weak
It haunts me as much now and tears roll down my cheek
I never thought you’d one day just not be here
But I will buy a rose today and I hope that will bring you near

Life has never been the same and you’ve left such a gap
I would love to see you once again, I wish Heaven had a map
Time doesn’t make it easier, I just miss you everyday
We will never forget you and for you I’ll always pray
I will smile for you today and for the person we hold dear
And I’ll think of the dew on that rose each time I shed a tear

Missing you so much, my heart aches more today than ever, I was 13 when you died and I can’t believe its 13 years since you left. It makes me realise how little time I had with you and I really wish God would have let us keep you just a little longer. You will always be my special, precious Rose.

Its been so long, almost 13 years since you left us
I was only 13 when you passed, time flies it really does
But it doesnt make us forget of everything you were
In my heart you're still all those things and now you're even more
I remember you so well, all that made you, you
All your little ways and all you used to do
I remember our last Christmas we came around one day
You suddenly seemed so small, I really wanted to stay
You were so devoted and we always felt your love
But on the night you slipped away I could tell you'd had enough
I didnt want to cry at first, at last you were at rest
I felt a sense of comfort knowing he only takes the best
I will always think and pray for you and hope that you're aware
Of just how much I love you, and how I'll always care

Lots of love Nanna x x x

Memories

Memories are heartbeats
sounding through the years
echoes never fading
of our smiles and our tears
moments that are captured
sometimes unaware
pictured in an album
or a lock of hair

Images that linger
deep within the mind
bit of verse we cherished
once upon a time
through the musty hallways
of the days we knew
ever comes the vision
beautiful and true

Memories are roses
blooming evermore
full of fragrant sweetness
never known before
life must have a meaning
goals for which to strive
memories are lights that burn
to keep the heart alive

We Will Never Forget You

We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.

Each morning when we awake,
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heart ache
As we try to carry on.

Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.

Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.


Love from Lynne xxx

I'm writing this from heaven, where I dwell with God above.
Where there are 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 you’re 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 you’re 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


Our thoughts and prayers are with you xxxx Lynne xxxx Much Love
