It is with with immense sorrow we have to say goodbye xox Until we meet again, in Heaven. I will never forget your smile, your funny stories, your wisdom, the special yearly Christmas tea and how you welcomed me like I have always been a part of your family. I love you xo
Lesson learned “The lady of the house serves the tea!” (A memory that will always make me smile when I think of you)

Mum, you tenderly looked after me as a baby, played with me as a child, laughed with me in the good times, cried with me in the bad times, prayed with me and for me. You were an amazing Mother who taught me right from wrong and how to be independent and strong. I will miss you terribly but will call on the strength you gave me. I love you Mum and have always been proud of you. Give Dad and Cathy a big hug from me and tell them how much I miss them. xx
