Jeannettes poem,
When you were with us you weren’t one for soft spoken words.
Any attempts at emotional conversation you’d effortlessly swerve.
If you were here now and you sensed this heart-pour.
You’d tell me to shush, sit down, to ‘close the door’.
We’d all sit in the lounge, all cosy and all warm.
Put a film on the TV, then talk through it all.
With a cat on your lap and the dog at your knees.
You’d pet and you’d fuss until I agreed ‘Aren’t they so pretty’.
We’d sit there for hours and put the world to rights.
Reminiscing and laughing about all the good old times.
Giggling at memories till the day turned to the dark.
Like the new haircut ‘chode’ or your day trip to the park….
Even at the end you were always true to you.
A fabulous diva, and you, through and through.
Walk past your reflection and your hair you would tease.
With your effortless style and you in your dungarees.
One thing is for certain, there’s no one quite like you.
Even treatment shakes were taken by champagne flute.
Now you are gone, and it’s time to say.
That you could bring sunshine to the darkest of day.
And although I never said it, you know what you meant to me.
My life lived with you is full of endless happy memories.
From little girls to little women, with you I have grown.
You have been there from the beginning, your home is now my home.
So I want to say Thank you, for everything you have done.
In my heart you are my family, you are an adopted Mum.
You have always been there so Goodbye is hard to say.
But I know I’ll see you again, on the other-side one day.
You’ll be holding hands with Dereck and Barbs, Molly and JellyBean too.
And I will get to tell you…. J-dog, I love you.
Always Remembered
Love Diane Sue & Mandy
Your memory lights up our tree this year, and though you're not here, you are forever in our hearts.
You are missed each and every day xxx
My Grandad Stan was my biggest fan; he never missed an opportunity to celebrate my successes or just big me up for no reason whatsoever. We were best friends, and I did everything I could to make sure that his last few years on earth were as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. My Grandad loved Christmas and the whole family being together, and we make sure to honour his memory, especially at this time of year. I love and miss you, Gramps! Mica xxxxx
My Grandma Peggy was such a kind and caring woman, with so much grace and poise. My Grandma was such a strong woman and never let anything get her down, not in her 91 & 1/2 years on this earth. I have so many fond memories of spending countless childhood Christmases with my grandma, filled with so much love and happiness. All my love, Mica xxxxx
Grandad Booth was an inspiration to the entire family. An old-fashioned man with good morales, and often the only person who could tolerate my tantrums. He'd always hand me down the sports pull-outs from the newspapers and let me stay up late to watch the football highlights. He supported me always and I fondly remember him cheering me on from the sidelines, come rain or shine. We love you, and miss you Grandad. Lots of love, Tom & Family.
