My nan died on the 11th June 2001 she was only 61 years of age born on the 22nd July 1939 and she lived in Seven Kings Ilford Essex. She had 3 lovely children, 9 grandchildren, a lovely husband and 1 brother. Unfortunately i lost my dear nan to cancer.
My nan was a special and loving nan who meant the world to me and everyone who met her. This is the poem my mum wrote for her mum and read at her funeral and it explains what a lovely special person she was.

As I sit here thinking about you many thoughts come to mind,
you were generous, loving, caring, wonderful and kind,
a devoted wife to dear old dad for 40 years and more,
you loved him more than words can say and you he did adore,
you treasured us 3 children, kiernan, warren and myself each in our own rights,
you always saw the good in us even when we'd fight,
you gave your life to raising us teaching us right from wrong,
and the lessons that we learnt from you will always be with us even now your gone,
you were so proud to be a nanny you loved each grandchild through and through,
you touched their little lives in special ways just like you did to everyone you knew,
the loyal friend to all you met in good times and in bad,
a very special, unique person thats why so many people are so sad,
a wonderful sense of humour, you made us laugh so much over the years,
thats why i know you'd want us smiling now, you wouldnt want any tears,
but its hard to smile and be happy when being with you is all i knew,
because life just seems so empty now i cant imagine it without you,
as the last few weeks went by we could feel you slipping away,
we tried so hard to hold on to you we dearly wanted you to stay,
but sadly you closed your eyes and above the clouds you flew,
at least you are at peace now and with family you loved so true,
so now its time to let you go and let all the pain and suffering end,
so goodbye mum, we will always love you, our loving wife, special mum and nanny but most of all my best friend!

And that was dedicated from my mum, Mel to her mum.

Its been 6 years since my nan passed away and i wish she was here to see how i was doing, i miss her more than anything and would do anything to see her again. She was the perfect nan and she was an inspiration to me and all that i do in my future will be in her memory and i will see her one day x i love you nan x

Your loving daughter, Mel

To my darling mum x
I cannot believe it is seven years today since you sadly left us.

I miss you every single hour of each day and long to see you again.

I know you are watching over me and the girls and seeing how much they are growing into beautiful people just like you. You would be so proud of them.

I love and miss you more each day x

I picture you walking up the path
and walking through the door
I listen out for your gentle laugh
but i cant hear it anymore

I hold my hands out everyday
Hoping for your gentle touch
But i dont feel your warm hands touch me
Its a feeling i miss so much

I wait for you to wipe my tears
But you want yours wiping too
And everyday still hurts so much
Because my life is missing you

I keep your memory in my soul
It burns so bright each day
And all the things i have in my mind
Theres three words i want to say

I Miss You

If I could have one lifetime wish
One dream come true
I would pray to God with all my heart
For yesterday and you.

A thousand words can't bring you back,
I know because I've tried and neither
will a million tears.
I know because I've cried.

You left behind broken hearts
and happy memories too but,
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

To your resting place
I go flowers are placed with care
But nobody knows the heartache I feel
As I turn and leave you there.

ii love you nan xx

I didn't have the time to be all I could be
The Lord said it was time, that he needed me.
I had to leave behind all the family that I love
But I'm in my eternal home in Heaven up above.

I'm sending you this message for I know you're blue
I wanted to let you know that I'll always love you.
I may not be with you, but my love always will
I may have left for Heaven, but my heart's with you still.

I would love for my birthday, for you to celebrate
For I can watch from Heaven, I think it would be great.
Knowing that you love me is all that I really need
Please don't cry no more, my soul has been freed.

I know it's hard for you right now to really understand
But wait till you see Heaven when you take God's hand.
Heaven is incredible, the lion sleeps with the lamb
Everything's so peaceful, I can't tell you how happy I am.

One day you will see all the wonders that I do
And I will take your hand and show them all to you.
We'll be together once again, to be a family
Living in the land of the Lord for all eternity.
