Oh Mum, we can't believe that two years have passed since we lost you. So much has happened, so many changes but still Jim, Billy and I are all staying strong together, you must be so proud that we have each other. I know that you can see everything and you would love my wee flat surrounded by your things, photos etc. The boys love coming to visit as I think it reminds them of the house but without you in it it felt like it was dying too. We have new lives but always with you and Dad never far from our hearts. Love, eternal love to you always XXX

Mum thinking of you on your Birthday. I post a picture of your favourite flower: The Peony Rose. You and Dad are always in my thoughts and will always be in my heart. xxx

Before you leave can I just say

I loved you each and every day

I don’t know how I'm going to cope

As I spend my days in prayer and hope

That you realised you weremore than a Mother

And that caring for you was no burden or bother

I tried to prolong the life that we had

Making believe things weren’tso bad

My beautiful mother, companion and friend

I'm glad I was with you right at the end

So move on now to that better life

Be with our Dad and again be his wife

Goodbye my best friend and safe journey on

Please wait for me there till my own time has come

I can' t believe a year has past. Forever in our thoughts and always in our hearts. Things will never be the same but Mum I know you are with Dad looking down watching over us and I know you both would be proud.

Billy, Catherine and Peter

Although I miss you everyday I am surrounded by your love in the wee hoose that we shared, everwhere I look I see a memory, I still smell you, hear you and talk to you. We knew we wouldn't have you with us forever and that Dad had been waiting over 23 years to have you at his side again, but it doesn't stop the emptiness in our lives with the space you have left behind. When I look in the mirror I see you in my features, the smile, the dimple, the eyes and I know that you and Dad live on in all of us in one way or another. For the rest of my life I will miss you, my Mother, my companion, my friend. Love you always and ever David XXXXX

Restin peace gran. We will never forget what a lovely caring person you are and you will live on in our hearts forever.xxx
