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.

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

I need to tell you something,
That I hope will help you see...
I'm not sad in heaven,
Because God is here with me.
***************************
It was on the day I left you,
That I saw the tears you cried,
But please don't worry about me,
God keeps me by His side.
***************************
I'll save a place here for you,
In heaven next to me...
Where we can be together,
The way you wanted us to be.
***************************
For now, please know I love you,
And dry those tears you cry...
I'll wait for you in heaven,
Where we will never say goodbye.

Life's Tug of War

Life can seem ungrateful ~ and not always kind...
Life can pull at your heartstrings ~ and play with your mind...
Life can be blissful ~ and happy and free...
Life can put beauty ~ in the things that you see ...
Life can place challenges ~ right at your feet...
Life can make good ~ of the hardships we meet...
Life can overwhelm you ~ and make your head spin...
Life can reward those ~ determined to win...
Life can be hurtful ~ and not always fair...
Life can surround you ~ with people who care ...
Life clearly does offer ~ its Up and its Downs...
Life's days can bring you ~ both smiles and frowns...
Life teaches us to take ~ the good with the bad...
Life is a mixture ~ of happy and sad...
SO...
Take the Life that you have ~ and give it your best...
Think positive be happy ~ let God do the rest...
Take the challenges that life ~ has laid at your feet...
Take pride and be thankful ~ for each one you meet...
To yourself give forgiveness ~ if you stumble and fall...
Take each day that is dealt you ~ and give it your all...
Take the love that you're given ~ and return it with care...
Have faith that when needed ~ it will always be there...
Take time to find the beauty ~ in the things that you see...
Take life's simple pleasures ~ let them set your heart free...
The idea here is simply ~ to even the score
As you are met and faced with ~ Life's Tug of War.


Thank you to everyone, whether you have left one candle or a thousand, each one is so special and I am continually amazed by the kindness and support I feel here on GTS.
Sorry that I don't get on here as much as I'd like to, I have a lot going on, but you are all always in my thoughts. I hope you like this latest verse that I leave with love. Hugs, Mel. xxx

Hugs from Heaven....

Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.

If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.

If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.

If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.

If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.

So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

Monday Gift From Me To You
XxXxX

I send to you this Eve a gift of words, like a cloud delivering rain.
May they fall upon you ever so gently and wash away your pain.
For you and all your loved ones, I bow my head and pray.
May these prayers somehow guide you and help you find your way.

My thoughts and prayers are also with you, as you begin your day.
Only You and I, and God, know what these words attempt to say.
Never look into the past – move forward and straight ahead.
Do as your heart tells you, your soul will be fed.
Always remember how very special you are.
Your friendship to me is a beautiful, bright shining star.

For this friendship that we share, I send this small token,
May it somehow help you repair all that is broken.
There is a power on this earth greater than You and I,
He is the one who stirs your emotions and allows you to cry.

Sheila And My Angels January 12, 2009

As we walk our path of life,
We meet people everyday.
Most are simply met by chance.
But, some are sent our way.

These become special friends
Whose bond we can't explain;
The ones who understand us
And share our joy and pain.

Their love contains no boundaries.
So, even though we are far apart.
Their presence enhances us
With a warmth felt in our hearts.

This love becomes a passageway,
When even the miles disappear.
And so, these friends, God sends our way,
Remain forever near

Love to our Angel & all their loved ones xxxxx

MEMORIES OF YOU

Memories of you...
Will stay in my heart forever,
Memories of you...
I will always treasure.
Memories of you...
make me feel warm inside,
Memories of you...
are the love I cannot hide.
Memories of you...
help me through the day,
Memories of you...
will never fade away.
Memories of you...
are beautiful and dear,
They seem to grow still brighter
with every passing year.

A GUARDIAN ANGEL

Flew down from above,
To teach me a lesson
About the powers of love.
She whispers to me,
Take a hold of my hand,
There are so many things
I wish you to understand.
About the powers of love,
And all it can do,
To someone who needs
To share it with you.
A pat on the back,
A kind smile on your face,
Can make someone's life,
A much brighter place.
It doesn't take much,
To show someone you care,
To give them the love,
God gave you to share.
So please keep in mind,
All the powers you possess,
To grace someone's life,
When they're in distress.
You've been put on this earth
To bestow the powers of love,
And with those final words,
She disappeared up above.

Love Always Elaine xxxxx

Dear Mr Hallmark

I am writing to you from Heaven, and though it must appear
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my loved ones, as there finding it very hard.

There must be some mistake I thought, I saw every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a person who lives in heaven.
They are still my loved ones too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, they understand, but oh the tears they cried.

I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my family so.
They talk with me, and dream with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?

My loved ones carries me in there heart, there tears they hide from sight.
They write poems to honor me, sometimes long into the night
They plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
They write to other grieving familys, trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr.Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way to remind my family of there wondrous worth.
They need to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the people of earth will do.

Thank you Mr.Hallmark, I know you'll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I'll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell them, how much they mean to me
Until I can do it for myself, when they join me in eternity

When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;


I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you.
And each time that you think of me
I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.

If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.

If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.

If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.

Our memories build a special bridge
When loved ones have to part.
To help us feel we're with them still
And soothe a grieving heart.

Our memories span the years we shared,
Preserving ties that bind.
They build a special bridge of love
And bring us peace of mind.


As New Year approaches
It seems harder this time of year
We miss you so much more
The only thing that gets us through
Are the memories of before
So here's a card just for you
To show how much we care
I know your waiting with the angels
One day I'll see you there.
