My mum Maureen Ann,fell asleep on the 17th april 2007 she was 58yrs old her birthday is the 27th of
february,she has 3 children me alan im the oldest(39)then my sister anjie(37)and our anthony(36)she
has 6 sisters and 2 brothers all still around mum was the oldest girl.mum had lung cancer which we
only found out because she knocked her side on a chest of drawers and needed an x-ray which i took
her for an was there with her when she got her results,i dont know which of us it hit the hardest
when they explained this shadow which we could clearly see on her left lung!it was a few weeks
before they told us it was terminal and couldnt have treatment (chemotherapy)as she wouldnt have
quality of life as i was told by the macmillan nurse as mum couldnt bring herself to tell me she
wasnt goin to live.They told my mum and i that she only had a couple of months maybe 4 but they
didnt bank on my mum oh no she was not going to let go without a fight and she battled on for a
couple weeks short of a year!she was a very fun loving people loving woman who could laugh at
everything and who usually caused alot of the laughter even thogh this horrible desease called
cancer took over all our lives we still managed to smile,laugh and live as normal a life as the pain
controlled days would allow us too.how she carried on in so much pain and smiled baffled everyone
even the professors that were brought in to control her pain,but eventually the pain overtook us all
and she spent her last 10 days in st johns hospice where me my sister and my mums sister jayne cared
for her every need under the pain control of the nurses,we can be thankful that us three know that
we were there when she fell asleep for last time and was out of that terrible pain that we could not
imagine....I still dont know how life goes on but it does and my mum maureen ann still puts that
smile on my face...XXX Love you Mum goodnight XXX

precious memories
where do i start mo. well ive never had another potatoe and egg sandwich since that one you made me. and nobody makes a bacon butty like you do. silly things like that remind me of you but these silly things meant the world to me, because they were all done with love. i wish you could still make me those buttys. i do miss them gig gig, not half as much as i miss you i re-live that night over and over and still cant forgive myself for not being there with you. i should have been at your side with alan. we had been through alot together just the 3 of us although it wasn't the nicest experience im glad we went through it with you, im so glad we were there for you as we always were. and as you were there for us. life is never going to be the same without you and you knew that, but i am happy in the fact that you are with some very special people now and nobody can ever hurt you or upset you ever again. you are an amazing person who i will always look upto and adore and i will never ever let you out of my thoughts as long as i live.
So till we meet again you are the bravest person i have ever met and ever are likely to meet. all my love rob xxxx
well Mo i know where Alan gets it from! U got us unable to sleep,sat thinkin of u watching the clock & smiling at every unusual sound or shiver thinkin 'i wonder if thats mo' instead of being terrified! so yes wonderful lady..ITS ALL ABOUT YOU! love n miss u,stay by Alan & Robs side for a while tonight Mo they really need you. Only a couple of hours till its a year, that moment that led to so much heart ache for so many people yet the very same moment that raised u outta bed, put a cig in your hand and a voice whispered to you 'Your a free spirit now, free from illness and pain, take the hands of lost loved ones and spread your happiness again' How we all miss u, thinkin of you when u was with us down here makes me smile most days..Tonight we all cry because you left. In our hearts always Mo..love forever Kelly n shellie xxx

A Letter From Heaven
To those we love,
Since we parted, you have been sharing so much of us with those around you. The memories are so fresh and real. You hold on to us so tightly in your hearts - where we shall always be.
Your concern has always been for us, but we wonder how you are doing. You will never know all of the prayers that have been prayed for you, the tears that have been shed over your grief and the concern that has been shown for you in a multitude of ways, but we find it so comforting to know you haven't been left alone.
Please know that we are not alone, either. The death that hurt you the most has given me the gift of eternal life. God's promises have been fulfilled in us. When we left you, God was there, waiting, just as He promised. We're surrounded by perfect love. Never let anyone tell you God doesn't exist. If you need to be mad at Him for awhile, that's okay; He can handle it. But never let hate, anger or bitterness fuel you emotions. Talk to Him and let him talk to you. Listen for Him in the voices of the people who love and care about you, and let His Word reassure you that we are doing just fine.
It is comforting to know that you hold us so close while struggling with the prospect of letting us go. You need to know that we will always be together. Eternity is not 'out there,' eternity is now! We have simply moved a little farther ahead of you.
Remember that God never wastes anything - especially love. The love that we shared on earth will be even greater in Heaven. For now, you must rest assured that we are safe in God's perfect love. We would like you to take some of the love you have for us and share it with those around you. You can never run out of love - the more you give away, the more you will have. And let others love you . you are worth loving.
Life is forever. Ours has changed in the twinkling of an eye while yours is changing day-by-day and minute-by-minute. Though your lives will never be the same, that does not mean that they cannot be filled with peace, joy and love. Always look to the future. Don't be afraid of tomorrow - God's already there. Be patient with yourselves. You will make some mistakes, and you will even find yourselves not thinking about 'us' from time to time. That's all right too. All of our needs are being met; you need to take care of you. Hold onto one another, help each other, give hope and love to all you meet.
Above all, be prepared to welcome others into your world of grief and mourning. You are being taught valuable lessons that will need to be passed along. Some will not have your strength, many will not have your faith, and most will feel they are all alone; but all will need the love and understanding only you will be able to give. Now, your pain is the only credential you need to minister to others. When you think of us, never think of us as being alone. Think of us smiling, laughing and enjoying all that god has prepared for us.
Finally, never believe you are alone. Do not focus on what you have lost, but look always at what you have left. You are surrounded by people who love you and care about you. Live with them, love with them, share with them and laugh with them. Make every day a celebration of life - a life that will never end. We will meet again, and until we do, know that we are very proud of you for never giving up.
We love you!
Your Loved Ones In Heaven
