  • To The Kindest Grand Monther In The World.

    To my grandmother Mame,You were always full of joy,never angry just always kind. You drove like a mad women in your mini, up and down the gears always getting us there and always on time. Giving us ice cream after the fare. Taking us to the pantomime and laughing as much as us. Cooking your sunday roasts and stuffing us with cake.Always taking time for us no mater what.

    Mame you are the best puting us before you and never complaining, when i spoke to you last in the hospital your leg was so sore but you never mentioned it and asked all about us i knew you had had enough and who could blame you. We will all miss you so very much but i know you are happy now looking down on us with Papa.Till we meet again Allan,Lori and Jordyn.

    P.S We love you so much.

  • love from your great grand daughter


    where do i start mame, you were just such an amazing person, such a joy to be around. Always smiling and laughing and just full of joy. I will always remember going to panto's with you for christmas. the ducks mouth with pringles... the easter egg hunts in the garden.... the ringing of the famous bell, the lovely family meals in the dinning room.

    you made an impact on everyone you met, especially with yourbeautiful smile.

    we will miss you so much and you will always be remembered in our hearts. i wont say goodbye i will simply say good night and god bless.

    love always your great grand-daughter jennie xxxxxx

  • Our Grandmother "Mame" a true lady and one of the best

    I am writing to say my last goodbye to my wonderful grandmother Mame.You will be missed by all the family; however the memories you leave behind will be alive for many more years to come. We will miss our“Hostess with the Mostess”, you had culinary skills that would put any chef to shame. We will miss the butterfly kisses and ringing the bell for dinner.You were the most unselfish person I have ever met, always putting others before yourself. When we were little we used to come and stay with you and Papa, you would take us to the punch and Judie shows on the sea front and take us to tennis, sorry for hitting the tennis balls over the fence!! Sorry that we were not at your memorial service, but we were there in Spirit, we were watching a video of you showing the kids the talking parrot and eating our smoked salmon sandwiches and chocolate cake here in Oman.I am glad that we got to see you before we left for Oman, i had a feeling that when we said goodbye it would be for the last time. It was an honour that Jack and Mackenzie got to meet their Great Grandmother.God bless and rest in peace, goodbye Mame lots of love, Drew Cathie Jack & Mackenzie xxxx
