Report this message By Tom on 22nd Dec 2010My dearest Gill, Well darling I face my biggest hurdle since you sadly left me. It's Christmas and all the great memories I have of the two of us at this time of the year, like doing up presents together, putting up the decs with the carols playing in the background (this had to be done!) We were worse than little kids on Christmas morning. Me getting you up early to open our presents and then spending the day just eating and relaxing and enjoying each others company. Then Boxing day is started all over again as we spent the day with the family, another great time had. I shall still enjoy Christmas, but that spark we had together about Christmas sadly went out when you were taken from me. So I face this time a little sad and lonely, but it will be another hurdle faced and completed. Happy Christmas my sweetheart, all my love Tom x xx x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Report this message By your daughter tracey on 5th Nov 2010I thought it wasn't going to be to bad today because you never liked fuss especially on your birthday all you wanted was just a card,but with me it was slippers every year with out fail you would never let me forget,you looked forward to a new a pair of slippers on your birthday that was it didn't want anything else. I couldn't go down the slipper isle today at work strange i know, it's only been ten months since you left us and i am trying to keep it together because like you said to your son who is missing you so very much that we should be crying over the living not the dead but how can we not cry over someone who was truly a great mum, you were and still are our world and me and your son love you, Happy Birthday Mum

Report this message By Tom on 7th Aug 2010Hello my sweetheart. I am writing this today as it's my first birthday without you, a day you always made so special for me. It's also six months since you sadly had to leave us, it is gettig bit easier without you, but not that much. I am not angry your passing anymore as this had become expected. am angry that all of the work you put into getting the bungalow, you are not here to share it with me. You would have loved the big kitchen you always wanted, also you would have been sleeping in your own bed, and been able to take a nice shower and after all that you would have been able to sit in your own little garden, this upset me a great deal, you have missed out on so much, things that still bring a tear to my eye. Special thoughts of you and little laughs we used to share together, I still miss you with all of my heart and at times feel a little lonely and a little lost, my darling you were my best friend and soulmate, and you have left a huge hole in my life. These few words sum up my feelings without you;
"I THOUGHT OF YOU WITH LOVE TODAY, BUT THAT IS NOTHING NEW, I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU YESTERDAY AND DAYS BEFORE THAT TOO. I THINK O YOU IN SILENCE, I OFTEN SPEAK YOUR NAME. ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES, AND YOUR PICTURE IN A FRAME. YOUR MEMORY IS MY KEEPSAKE, WITH WHICH I'LL NEVER PART. GOD HAS YOU IN HIS KEEPING, I HAVE YOU IN MY HEART".
Well my lovely Gilly, we will have to end here, and just sayI will love you evermore and keep your wonderful memory alive, for me and your family.
All my love your Tommy x x x x x x x
Report this message By Paul on 3rd Aug 2010Hi Gill,
Sorry it has taken me so long to post something on here, it's just that I still feel very angry and bitter, the way you were cruelly taken away from us. I know that's probably not the way you would want me to feel, but it's hard to feel differently sometimes. I know you would want me to look back at all the good times and happy memories and I do that, and it does make me smile. I do want to thank you for always being there for all of us, I always knew that I could rely on you to talk to, if I couldn't talk to Mum or Dad about something. I want to thank you too for helping to raise me and shaping me into the person that I am today (I know I was a bit of a pain the bum when I was younger!) It's sad when I think that you have been taken away from us too early and you will miss parts of your grandchildren growing up, Holly will not forget her nanny Gill though I promise you that. Don't worry about Dad either because we are all there for him if he needs anything, and I know you will laugh, but I think he has actually figured out how to work the washing machine!!
So once again Gill, thank you for everything that you did for me, you were the best Step-Mum I could have ever asked for and I felt proud and honoured to have helped you get to your final resting place, where I know that you would not be in pain anymore. I will never forget you, none of us ever will.
Love you always my Step-Mummy Gill,
Lucky legs Paul x x x x x x x x x x x x
