Never Forgotton
What a horrible year 2004, the Tsunami and losing you. It's still difficult to comprehend all those events. I'm sorry you couldn't be at home with family, but you were always in my heart.
You're probably looking out for everyone up there just as you did on earth.
Well 2010 is upon us; nothing changes the world rolls on in it's own mysterious ways as you well know and very wisely dealt with.
Love always Nan, so glad you were part of my life.
Denise and children xxxxx
Your loving Daughter Eileen
Dear Mum
I thought I would bring you up to date. You have 8 Great grandchildren now. Denise had a little baby girl called Mia Rose and John has two girls, Amber 3 half months and Charlotte Lily. They are all beautiful.
you told Lisa she was having a baby girl but unfortunately you never lived to see her.If Daddy and Carol had lived they would have said that the world was not big enough to give them everything they could. We lost dear Rita, but I bet as she came through the pearly gates you heard her shout 'hello Mrs Shep'.
I have learned to live with the loss as i did with Daddy and Carol.It gets harder each day and I often shed a tear when I am on my own. But then, I hear this voice telling me to get on with it and I know it's you watching over me.
God bless Mum x
Rose Beyond the Wall
A rose once grew where all could see,
Sheltered beside a garden wall,
And as the days passed swiftly by,
It spread its branches straight and tall
One day, a beam of light shone through
A crevice that had opened wide
The rose bent gently toward its warmth
Then passed beyond,to the other side
Now, you who deeply feel its loss,
Be comforted,the rose blooms there
It's beauty even greater now,
Nurtured by God's own loving care.
Love Denise and children xxx
Another Year
What's another year? You used to love that song, but it didn't realy sum you up because you always looked forward to another year. You always lit your candle on Dec 31st, to burn away the dark from the past and welcome the light of the future. You were an inspiration Nan because, no matter what had happened and was happening in your life, you were always there for us and any waif or stray who passed your door.
We had a nice Christmas and went to Mums boxing day. You'll be pleased to know she cooked a lovely meal and it was a nice day. We still missed your mince tarts and Christmas treats and your wonderful expressions opening the presents, especially mine!
I also miss the board games we used to play and how you used to cheat (oh no! you never cheated, did you?) We had so many laughs playing those games.
I know you're looking out for me up there. You're doing a great job as usual.
Till me meet again xxxx
Always in our hearts
Dear Nan,
Wherever you are and whatever you may be doing, I hope you are happy and back with those that you have missed throughout your life. We shared so much you and I and I truly thank you for everything you did for me, it made me who I am!
You will always be in my heart, my thoughts and my dreams. When I think of family I think fo you, you were all I ever really had and the love you gave to me I share with my own family.
I miss you and would love you to be here with me now, sharing my happy times with those around me and being there when I need you. But I must remember that you had a life before me and I hope you are rekindling that life somewhere else.
Take care Nan, I miss you and will always miss you.
All my Love John xxx
Always in my thoughts Nan. You have two additional beautiful great grandaughters and another great granchild on the way. Not all mine I hasten to add. You would have loved being at their parties baking and making sparkly things and fussing but secretly loving it. Miss you x
Hope you're behaving yourself in heaven with Grandad and Carol (wink). I will keep this site updated in your memory
