Mum, you are so greatly missed by me and all those people who loved you dearly. You were the most wonderful person and a joy to all who knew you.
You had a very difficult childhood but after leaving school you moved to London and then met my Dad and I know that when you got married you were so happy together and were both thrilled when you knew that I was on the way. Tragically you sadly lost Dad just as I was to make an appearance in the world, and I do know that you were devastated that he never knew me.
However, after moving back to Brighton to live with your Mum and Dad, I was born two months later. You made the best of things and then devoted yourself to bringing me up single handed. You worked so hard to give the two of us a happy and fulfilled life and I know that you did everything for me, for which I will always be eternally grateful. I had a happy childhood and hope that I made you proud of me. Then, when I met Mick you welcomed him into the family. I know he also thought the world of you.
Eventually I had Emma which unfortunately brought so much sadness to us all when I lost her at 5 months old.
Then along came Andrew whom I know you loved dearly and he loved you to bits.
In 2002 you moved in with Mick and I, so that I could look after you. Unfortunately over the next few years your health was deteriorating and you needed a lot of care which I was only to happy to give you.
Andrew brought us all lots of happiness, and when he announced he and Jill were getting married this year, we were all over the moon. I know that by then your health was deteriorating more but you were determined to see him married. You managed to get to the Church and I know that you had great joy in seeing him and Jill married. Luckily, a few weeks beforehand, they had told us all that we were going to be Grandparents and you were going to be a GREAT Grandma. I know that you were thrilled to bits.
Sadly, straight after the Wedding your health deteriorated rapidly and we lost you 2 weeks later.
I do hope the years spent living with us were happy for you. We absolutely loved having you here, and I did everything I could to make your last few years as happy and enjoyable as I could.
I always loved you from the bottom of my heart, and I am going to have a big hole in my life now which I don't know how to fill. You were a wonderful Mother, Mother-in-law and Grandma to all of us and we all really miss you so much.
My wish now is that you will be reunited with Dad whom I know made you so happy.

God Bless my darling Mum. Rest in Peace.

My darling Mum. Mick and I have been up to Eltham Cemetary today to put some more flowers on your grave. I felt very emotional but very close to you when I was there, and just wish that I could visit you more often, but unfortunately can only do it when Mick can drive me there. I miss you so much, but I hope that you are now at peace with Dad. I will love you forever.
Your everloving daughter

Remembering

I cried when you passed away
I cry today still
Although I loved you dearly
I couldn't make you stay
A golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest
God broke my heart to prove to me
he only takes the best.

All my love, Freda xxxxx

Missing you

We hold you tightly in our hearts
and there you will remain
Life goes on without you
but it will never be the same

Darling Mum. Have been and put the memorial stone on the grave with yours and Dads name on it. I am so pleased with it and we all agreed that it is something that you would have been happy with, especially as I had Dads name put on it. It was very emotional for me again and I really missed you, but felt pleased that I had done it for you and hope you would have approved. It was my last chance to pay my respects to you and to thank you for everything that you ever did for me. I shall never forget you.
Your everloving daughter. Freda.

Memorial

My Darling Mum. Tomorrow, Mick, Andrew and I are going up to Eltham Cemetary to place a beautiful memorial stone on the grave where I laid you to rest with Dad. I have had a lovely stone made up with yours and Dads names both on it so that you will always be together. I have thought of you constantly since interring your ashes in Eltham and miss you every single day. The memorial stone was something I wanted to do to mark the grave and thought it would be lovely to put both your names on it.
I feel that it will help me once this has been done.
Rest in peace my darling Mum
Your everloving daughter, Freda.

To my Darling Mum
Wish I could visit Heaven if only for a day
So many things I should have told you
Should have taken the chance to say
How I thought of you as special,
unique, kind, honest and true
The mould was surely broken
When they made the irreplaceable you.

Thinking of you so much today and missing you terribly.
Hugs and kisses, and all my love to you my special Mum
Love Freda xxxxxxxxxx

Missing you.

Gone is the face i loved so dear
Silent the voice i loved to hear
Tis sad but true, i wonder why
The best are always the first to die.

Gone but never forgotten, my darling mum xxxxxx
