nana!!! n used to help her!!!
she was 82 when she died in manchester royal infirmary on march 19th 2000. it was the darkest day
our lives when god took her away from us.
she lived in salford all her live and often moved from house to house lik a gypsy lol
she suffered diabetes in later life triggered by the passing of her eldest son georgie and this was
a contributing factor to her passing.
she was in a wheelchair and my mam used to take her out a lot . on a sunday you would find my mam
pushing my nana round salford car boot where she would buy anything haha mainly ornaments. she had a
lovely little flat and it was her pride and joy. when her son anthony took her on the car boots he
would just flit passed all the stalls and she would moan to my mam about it. she always came to my
mams for her dinner on sunday and while my mam was cutting up the lamb my nan used to nik a bit
haha. i miss all these memories and a whole lot more. now when we go to me mams for dinner my mam

On the road that all must tread,
you have travelled on ahead.
Out into the morning light,
out of earshot, out of sight.
But never very far away,
because, every hour of every day,
On the wings of memory,
something brings you back to me.
Some simple and familiar thing,
will start my heart remembering,
The times we had, the good, the bad,
the days, the years, sweet things and sad.

A song, a joke, a cup of tea,
something brings you back to me.

On the road that all must tread,
you have travelled on ahead.

But never very far away,

Some simple and familiar thing,
will start my heart remembering,
The times we had, the good, the bad,
the days, the years, sweet things and sad.

A song, a joke, a cup of tea,
something brings you back to me

Mum, I'm frightened I might forget your face,
Your loving smile, your warmth, your grace
Your hands that held me, oh so close
These are the things I'm missing the most..

Mum, I'm frightened I might forget your thoughtful ways
Caring, & unselfish, thinking of others, every day
The many ways you enriched my life - the best of mothers
You taught me to know right from wrong and to see good in others.

You have left me and I thought you'd never die
It makes me sad and hurts so much, that I begin to cry
Oh Mum, I love you and know that you loved me
Is it true that you can see me and are you proud of me?

I'd give the world to see you once again
To tell me of another life, a life without pain
A better world, than we've ever known
A Heaven, where we are all God's own.

One more chance to hold your hand, or touch your skin
It's warmth and softness, felt so comforting
Once more to see your smile and hear your laugh
But for this, I need more, much more, than a photograph.

I visit your grave and silently pray
That we will meet again some day
The tears still fall unexpectedly
When I am alone with my memories.

I know memories may see me through this time of sadness
And although it's hard to think of you with any gladness
I want to thank you for your unending love
And hope you are safe in the arms of the Lord above.

My love for you Mum, will never die
Even if my heart's heavy and I often cry
Living my life without you, I feel very alone
But I survive by thinking of you looking down.

Goodnight dear Mum and God bless
I'll try to make my life a success
So you won't feel that I've let you down
I'll love you forever, the best Mum ever known.


When I see the bright summer skies
I remember the sparkle in Nans loving eyes
When I feel the summer sun up above
I remember the warmth we found in her love

In times of trouble who was there?
Nan!!! with the love she wanted to share
When I was down and feeling blue
She was always there to cheer me up too

As I sit and think back to when I was a kid
I cant help but smile at the things that she did
I remember the hugs tucked up in her bed
The tea and biscuits and sugar on bread

The family all there, Her little buds
As she sits with her knife peeling the spuds
Steak and onions and gravy and dipping our bread
\\\"There is no one better\\\" is what we all said

I cant help but remember all the yesterdays
and take time to think of her sweet loving ways
Loving eyes, warm heart and a soft little grin
Expressing the love she felt for us, her kin

Through memories, pictures and stories we swear
that a place in our hearts for you is there
Peace be upon you, your work here now is done
as we remember you as granddaughter or son

I look around now and feel so much grief
so much love in this room, its hard to believe
I have to say shes loved in the only way I can
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE LIKE OUR NAN!!!

I Can’t Tell You Sweetheart
How Many Tears I’ve Cried
Since The Day I Was Told
My Precious NANA Had Died
It Seems Impossible
Although I Know It’s True
Because Everything I See
Reminds Me Of You
I Still Hear Your Laughter
See The Smile On Your Face
I Would Have Lost My Sanity
If Not For God’s Saving Grace
I Have To Close This Letter Now
But This Is Not Good-bye
For You Will Forever Walk Softly
In My Heart And In My Mind
Loads of love forever





I miss you more than anyone knows
As time goes by the emptiness grows
I laugh, I talk , I play my part
But behind my smile is a broken heart.
If all the world was mine to give,
I would give it, yes and more
To see the face of the one I love
Come walking to my door...




PLEASE LIGHT A CANDLE OR TRIBUTE XXXXXX

ღ♥ღ Till Healing Comes ღ♥ღ

My heart is closing deep inside
from all the pain I feel;
while others are so full of joy
my hurt feels very real.
I want to find a bit of light
but part of me feels dead,
and though I see the joy around
my soul is sad instead.
It's hard to enter deeply in
when you're no longer here.
It's like the lights have all gone out
and won't be lighting up this year.
And so this year I must be
just how it is I am.
So that soon my heart can heal
I'll do the best I can.
The only thing that I can do
is to stay present in the now,
to feel my grieving pain
and trust I'll heal somehow.
As this year gently comes
and as my heart is torn in two.
I'll open just a little bit
as I'm deeply missing you.
I'll trust the gift of life that's here
and trust that I'm ok,
and be with how it is right now...
..till healing comes my way.

♥═══♥ HOMEWARD BOUND ♥═══♥

The Lord woke up this morning with so much work to do
so many plans He has to make before the day is through.
He gathers all his angels. They stand close by his side
as each receive their saintly chores they spread their wings and fly.
The Lord looked up and realized his angels all were gone.
With so much work still left to do, He'd hire a new one on.
A million applications now lie upon his desk.
He reads each one so carefully until he finds the best.
Someone with all the qualities it takes to keep their faith.
Someone who seemed to always have a smile upon their face.
Someone who always tried to give a hand to those in need.
Unselfish love was all she knew, no room was left for greed.
And now the Lord has made his choice. He'll come for her today.
With wings that God alone can give, He smiles and flies away.
A single, fallen feather lies softly on the ground.
A sign sent down from heaven, Angel wings are homeward bound.

♥ TIME WILL EASE THE HURT ♥
♥ by Bruce B. Wilmer ♥

♥ The sadness of the present days ♥
♥ Is locked and set in time, ♥
♥ And meaning to the future ♥
♥ Is a slow and painful climb. ♥
♥ But all the feelings that are now ♥
♥ So vivid and so real ♥
♥ Can't hold their fresh intensity ♥
♥ As time begins to heal. ♥
♥ No wound so deep will ever go ♥
♥ Entirely away; ♥
♥ Yet every hurt becomes ♥
♥ A little less from day to day. ♥
♥ Nothing can erase the painful ♥
♥ Imprints on your mind; ♥
♥ But there are softer memories ♥
♥ That time will let you find. ♥
♥ Though your heart won't let the sadness ♥
♥ Simply slide away, ♥
♥ The echoes will diminish ♥
♥ Even though the memories stay. ♥

"I Can't Cry Hard Enough" by The Williams Brothers.

I'm gonna live my life
Like every day's the last
Without a simple goodbye
It all goes by so fast.

And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now.

Gonna open my eyes
And see for the first time
I've let go of you like
A child letting go of his kite.

There it goes
Up in the sky
There it goes
Beyond the clouds
For no reason why.

I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now.

Gonna look back in vain
And see you standing there
When all that remains
Is just an empty chair.

And now that you're gone
I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now.

There it goes
Up in the sky
There it goes
Beyond the clouds
For no reason why.

I can't cry hard enough
No, I can't cry hard enough
For you to hear me now.

Missing You

I just can't believe it
The sun still sets and rises.
The moon and stars still shine.
The flowers still bloom,
The birds still sing.
I expected a change in everything...

I just can't believe it.
It still gets dark and light.
The ocean still has waves,
The rain still rains,
The wind still blows.
Is it because they do not know?

I just can't believe it.
I thought the world would stop,
When in the house I found
An empty chair,
A missing smile.
I thought it would stop
For just a while.
I just can't believe it....

~~ The Ascending ~~
(by Kahlil Gibran)

I have passed a mountain peak and my soul is soaring in the
Firmament of complete and unbound freedom;
I am far, far away, my companions, and the clouds are
Hiding the hills from my eyes.
The valleys are becoming flooded with an ocean of silence, and the
Hands of oblivion are engulfing the roads and the houses;
The prairies and fields are disappearing behind a white specter
That looks like the spring cloud, yellow as the candlelight
And red as the twilight.

The songs of the waves and the humans of the streams
Are scattered, and the voices of the throngs reduced to silence;
And I can hear naught but the music of Eternity
In exact harmony with the spirit's desires.
I am cloaked in full whiteness;
I am in comfort; I am in peace.

In The Light.

A shadow of joy flickered, it is me.
I told you I wouldn't leave.
My spirit is with you.
My memories, my thoughts are embedded deep in your heart.
I still love you.
Do not for one moment think that you have been abandoned.
I am in the Light.

In the corner, in the hall, the car, the yard...
these are the places I stay with you.
My spirit rises every time you pray for me,
but my energy comes closer to you.
Love does not diminish, it grows stronger.
I am the feather that finds you in the yard,
the dimmed light that grows brighter in your mind.
I place our memories for you to see.
We lived in our special way, a way that now has it's focus changed.
I still crave your understanding and long for the
many words of prayer and good fortune for my soul.
I am in the Light.

As you struggle to adjust without me, I watch silently.
Sometimes, I summon up all the strength of my new world
to make you notice me.
Impressed by your grief,
I try to impress my love deeper into your consciousness.
As you should, I call out to the Heaven's for help.
You should know that the fountain of youth does exist.
My soul is now healthy.
Your love sends me new found energy.
I am adjusting to this new world.
I am with you and I am in the Light.

Please don't feel bad that you can't see me.
I am with you wherever you go.
Talk to me and somehow I will find a way to answer you.
Mother, Father, son or daughter, it makes no difference.
Brother, sister, lover, husband or wife, it makes no difference.
Whatever our connection - friend or even foe - I see you with my new eyes.
I am learning to help wherever you are,
wherever I am needed.
This can be done because I am in the Light.

When you feel despair, reach out to me.
I will come.
Our love for you truly does transcend from Heaven to Earth.
Finish your life with the enthusiasm and zest that you had
when we were together in the physical sense.
You owe this to me, but more importantly, you owe it to yourself.
Life continues for both of us.
I am with you because I love you and I am in the Light.

❁ Heaven and Earth ❁

♥When the warmth of the sun touches my face,
♥I see your smile and feel your embrace.
♥I hear the whisper of love in the wind
♥And I know that you are close to me again.
♥The rain speaks of tears, the thunder of pain,
♥But soon the sun comes the earth to reclaim.
♥As the days come and go and the world moves on,
♥I know you're still here, you'll never be gone.
♥On the night the Angel came and took your hand,
♥We cried as you left for an unknown land.
♥But Heaven rejoiced as you came into sight.
♥For your soul was a diamond, shining so bright!

•♥ The Messenger ♥•
Written by Kirsti (Angel scribe)

From an Angel on high
a tender message of love was softly whispered into the ear
of this humble scribe....
○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○
Weep not for me
now that I have passed.
Remember the laughter, the affection, the joy
not just the recent tears.
Cherish the memories, our hopes and dreams.
Hold fast to the love that we shared.
Be happy with the time we spent together
and being anew.
For I am not really gone,
I am closer than ever before.
As the morning sun rises
and throughout the busy day...I am with you.
Until the setting sun disappears on the horizon
and we watch the day turn into night...I am here.
You may feel a faint breeze stir round your head, while you slumber
as I gently kiss your forehead, "Good night."
The stars that shine so brightly in my heavenly sky
help me watch over you and keep you from harm.
I am the wind in the trees
and the song of a bird.
I am moonbeams in a midnight sky
and a glorious rainbow after the storm.
I am morning dew
and freshly-fallen snow.
I am a butterfly flying overhead
and a puppy happily at play.
I am a smile on a stranger's face
a gentle touch
a warm embrace.
Listen to the wind for my message of love.
Watch the sun rise and set in the sky with me.
Feel my essence encircle you with warm memories.
Open your heart to know...I am not gone.
Reach deep into your soul...You will find me.
I am here.
Have no fear.
I am with you,
Always.

♥Softly As We Leave You♥
(Author Unknown)

Life is so uncertain, this we all may know....
No one knows the time or day,
when they'll have to go.
Though now our time has come to leave you
to face this world alone...
These promises we make you,
to give you strength to carry on.
When the sunlight awakens you,
we'll be there too.
When the moon shines on your pillow...
we'll be shining on you.
We'll be in the cooling breeze,
as it rustles through the trees..
we'll be in the pouring rain,
as it hits your window pane.
When darkness dims your vision,
close your eyes and look above
we'll be standing right beside you.
You will always have our love
May peace and comfort be upon you..
hold close our memories
For in our hearts we know that
no matter where you go...
Is where we'll always be.
