Her loyalty, generosity and willingness to ‘go the extra mile’, nurtured and inspired many of us and we will never forget her wonderful sense of humour! We will miss you Marj and will always remember you with great fondness and respect.

As you passed away holding my hand, with your eyes fixed on me, the love we shared said it all in your eyes. My darling Christine, my heart is broken and my world broken apart. You were the best wife a man could ever wish for to share his life with. You were an amazing mother to our daughters Sharon and Chantelle, they could not have asked for a better mother. Your grandchildren, Rocco and Skye were so blessed to have had you as their grandmother. Rest in peace, until we meet again. Love you forever.

Trevor xxxxxxxx. To my darling Mum. You were taken away from us far too soon. The love you gave to me was so strong and I will never forget that special smile. I’m so proud to have had you as my mother and very lucky to have been your daughter. The love that you and Dad shared was remarkable and will be with you both forever. I promise you that me and Sharon will look after Dad, like you have always done. You gave your family and everyone who knew you, a warm heart and open arms. My heart is broken and feeling so much pain. God must have needed an amazing angel by his side to take you from us so soon. I know you’re at peace and no longer suffering. The love I have for you will always be in my heart. Until the day comes that we are reunited again. RIP Mum. Love you forever. God bless you.

What is a Mum, I’ll tell you this, She’s the one who fills your hearts full of joy, laughter and happiness. Kisses the grazes when you fall, Offers you wisdom when it’s called. Gives you hugs when you are sad. Gives you unconditional love without wanting anything back. Stays up late when you are out. Tucks you in when you’re asleep. Always there in time of need. Is the only friend you will ever need. Stands by her man to keep him strong, Denies what her children have done even when they are in the wrong. The husband may be the man of the house but without his wife the house would crumble, as she’s the one who keeps everyone strong. I’m a daughter who’s so proud to stand alongside her. That’s my Mum. Always in my thoughts, forever in my heart.

Love Sharon X.
