my nan was the best nan ever n anyone who knew her loved her. she was not only a gr8 nana but a
special friend to us. she bore 8 children one son died in the war when he was a baby. she worked
hard and she loved all her children and grandchildren too many too count. my mam angela was her
daughter and we will never get over her pasing. my daughters taisha and sasha used to call her bigga
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
gives one of my girls a piece of lamb and they take it in the living room, hold it up to her picture
and then place it on the fireplace lol so shes not left out!!!

R.I.P NANA N GREAT NANAx

If you visit this site, could you please light a candle . it will only take a minute but it will
mean a lot to us x thank you X WE ALL MISS U NAN XX

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.
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

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

Rest your weary head and drift off into dreams,
Frolic in the sunshine and bathe in God's moonbeams.
Use the stars as stepping-stones to take you to your peace,
The pain of life forgotten now you have found release.
Without rain a flower folds, the petals drop and die,
There was no way to save you, you couldn't even cry.
So we cry all the tears instead as we must let you go
To Heaven, and God's garden to blossom and to grow.
The little seed is planted, you'll be watered every day,
The angels will tend all your needs as in their arms you lay.
Your life will be amazing now and full of wondrous things,
Rest in peace, our dear, sweet Edith, go fly on angels wings.

Our lives go on without you
But nothing is the same,
We have to hide our heartaches
When someone speaks your name.
Sad are the hearts that love you
Silent the tears that fall,
Living our hearts without you
Is the hardest part of all.
You did so many things for us
Your heart was kind and true,
And when we needed someone
We could always count on you.
The special years will not return
When we were all together,
But with the love within our hearts
You will walk with us forever.

I stood by your bed last night;
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, 'it's me.'
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, 'I never went away.'
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say 'good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.'
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.

2 beautiful poems for a beautiful angel. xxx

ღ♥ღ♥ღ♥ღ Memories Of You ღ♥ღ♥ღ♥ღ
© Alan Pemberton

I had a drifting mood today
It stirred a thought or two
My mind went back to happy days
To memories of you.
Our lives are like a tapestry
With two distinctive sides
The front a perfect picture
The back our secret hides.
Our memories are built like this
Some are clear and real
Others travel in and out
With no specific feel.
Life's phases too are tapestries
With textures of their own
Some we love and some we hate
From all of them we've grown.
We gather wisdom from our pains
From torment we grow strong
Our spirit nurtured by mistakes
Still fated, travels on.
Perhaps one thing which stays the same
And will forever more
Is the love we hold for another soul
The people we adore.
So I had a drifting mood today
It stirred a thought or two
My mind went back to happy days
To memories of you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ღ♥ღ♥ღ♥ღ In Peace Go Home ღ♥ღ♥ღ♥ღ
© Alan Pemberton

Through veils of peace may you ascend
To promised planes above
Where comfort shall await you
In those summerlands of love.

Although my grief is deep and raw
Although my pain is great
I know that you are still with me
I know that you will wait.

For in God's time we'll meet again
Of this I am quite sure
I loved you so much on this earth
In absence even more.

I asked God for a flower, He gave me a garden.
I asked God for a tree, He gave me a forest.
I asked God for a river, He gave me an ocean.
I asked God for the world, He gave me you.
My heart is lost to you, always and forever.

~Your Loved One lives In Your Heart~

Many tender memories soften your grief,
May fond recollection bring you relief,
And may you find comfort and peace in the thought
Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought...
For time and space can never divide
Or keep your loved one from your side,
When memory paints in colors true
The happy hours that belonged to you.

♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦

•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥

Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.
