Mum, was a very special person. She was funny, Kind, caring and she was loved by so many people.
She married my Dad Ralph in 1969 in south shields and then I came along 10yrs later and we had a fantastic family life, filled with fun and love which my Dad and I are now cherishing as precious memories.
We had our last christmas together in 2008, at the time we didnt know it was, but we had the best christmas ever. Mam was her usual hilarious self making everyone laugh and having a blast.
Then, on tuesday 30th december I spoke to Mam on the phone and she said she had a headache and was going back to bed. I later got a phonecall from Dad to say mum was on her way to hospital as she was getting worse. By the time Mum reached hospital she had fallen into a coma. When My husband and I arrived Mam was in intensive care having a lumber puncture done as the doctors suspected meningitis. It revealed our worst fears, Mam had the deadly virus and within 9 days it had taken her away from us.
My Mum wasnt just my mum, she was my best friend. We often rowed when I was growing up and I must have made her hurt so much inside, but she always forgave me and was always there for me and we always moved on and our relationship became stronger for it.
Everywhere I turn Mam is there with me, I can feel her, smell her, and hear her so I know she has not and never will leave me.
With Love
~~ A Bridge Between Us ~~
Just close your eyes and imagine
a beautiful bridge you now see
that is the bridge I have crossed
no more pain and suffering for me
It was my wish to stay with you
but I know you will all understand
my time on earth was complete
I am now in my new found land
The scene I have here is so peaceful
with everyone treated the same
I hear your cries and your sorrow
I hear you when you call my name
Please don't be sad or lonely
I assure you I'm now free from pain
although our family chain has been broken
it will also one day link again
I now leave you all with a memory
of good times as well as the sad
but one thing I'm truly grateful for
is the wonderful family I have
So get on with your lives and be happy
when your day comes you will see
the wonderful scenes that await you
you will cross that bridge like me.With love Jacks family.xxxxx

A ROSE ONCE GREW
WHERE ALL COULD SEE,
SHELTERED BESIDE
A GARDEN WALL.
AND AS THE DAYS
PASSED SWIFTLY BY,
IT SPREAD IT'S BRANCHES
STRAIGHT AND TALL...
ONE DAY, A BEAM OF LIGHT
SHONE THROUGH A CREVICE,
THAT HAD OPENED WIDE.
THE ROSE BENT GENTLY
TOWARDS IT'S WARMTH,
THEN PASSED BEYOND
TO THE OTHER SIDE.
NOW YOU WHO DEEPLY
FEEL IT'S LOSS,
BE COMFORTED.
THE ROSE BLOOMS THERE,
IT'S BEAUTY EVEN GREATER NOW,
NURTURED BY GODS OWN LOVING CARE. With love Jacks Family.xxxxx

The Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Remembering Maureen
We shall always remember Maureen's love of life and sunny outlook on the world. She was always great fun to be with and we are so glad that we were able to see her last April at our daughter Lizzy's wedding. She looked so wonderful that day.
She will always be remembered with love and affection by us all.
Maureen (MO)
We were very privileged to meet you and become your friend what seems so many years ago; we had many a laugh whilst working together, and even bigger laughs when we were drinking together. We will always remember you with great fondness and we will miss you. It was an honour to know you.
"You were a diamond".
Rest in peace
Jannine & Neil Mulvaney

I close my eyes, I start to dream. You are there, running, laughing. I can see you again, I can feel you next to me and I know you are there.
I open my eyes, wake from dreaming where you are. Then I remember, you are only there when I close my eyes.
I step outside and feel the wind in my face, blowing my hair, and the leaves on the ground are dancing and you are with me again. I see the birds flying in the sky and the sun shining and that is you.
A bright star in the sky beaming its beauty, the same place the same time everynight you appear and I feel warm, and safe. As I know all these wonderful things that we all take for granted everyday, the things that you Mam gave to me with birth, when I look at them they remind me of how beautiful you were and how precious you were, and that throughout my life there were times when I took you for granted as I believed, like the wind and stars you would be here forever.
I was wrong. But you are always with me, around me and inside me. In my heart.
I love you, Mam. xx
