In Memory Nan

A thousand times we needed you
A thousand times we cried
If love alone could have saved you
You never would have died
A heart of gold stopped beating
Two twinkling eyes closed to rest
God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best
Never a day goes by that you're not in my heart and my soul

My tribute to the best Nan in the world

Nan sadly passed away 10th March 2002 from a long battle of cancer. She was 82.

Nan was such a comical person, she always made me laugh, she had such a good sense of humour. I
always remember going on holiday with her to Cyprus, she had me in tears of laughter on many
occasions.

Nan was also a very family orientated person. She loved her 3 daughters as well as her
grandchildren, we always used to have Sunday lunch with her and have an occasional game of cards
after dinner.

Nan's funeral was very difficult. My Mum, along with my 2 aunties had chosen 3 songs to play.
'Dancing Queen' by Abba, 'There You'll Be' by Faith Hill and
'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' by Cliff Richard were all played, it was very emotional.

I felt proud to follow the coffin up to the cemetery. Even though it was very difficult, I was proud
that she was my Nan and that she was being sent off in this way.

Nan's been gone 5 years now and still I remember her cheeky smile and her infectious laughter.
She was very brave and a complete credit to the family.

You're in the arms of the angels now Nan, until we meet again. God bless.Love you forever xxx

MISS YOU SO MUCH NAN

SO LONG NAN...

You look so peaceful lying there
With your hands folded upon your chest.
You look like you are sleeping
But you are at eternal rest.
So Long For Now.

Not a hair out of place,
Your make-up nicely done,
A beautiful smile upon your lips -
For now you are with Absalom.
When someone special passes on
It does not mean they are gone,
Though they are no longer with us
Their memory still lives on.
It hurts so much to lose a friend -
Especially one that is trustworthy and kind.
Nan, you were that special friend,
A rare and special find.
Nan, you will always be with me
In spirit and in mind.
You will always have a special place in my heart
Forever until the end of time.
Nan, I will not say "Good-bye".
This is not the end.
So I will just say, "So long..."
Until we meet again.

MISS YOU MUM

Miss you Mum,
Words cannot express how I feel,
To come and sit with you awhile.
What I'D give to have you here still,
To see your cheeky Smile,
Put the kettle on, lets have a cup of tea,
Your Sunday dinners, Your apple pie and cream,
One can dream............

Sending you all our love my little mum
Take care of Sheba and Neisha for me,
Until next time
Jan and Tony xxxxxx
