Although your 1st name is Elizabeth you were and always will be known by your middle name Ann, this is beacause of a family tradition my 1st name to is Elizabeth as was every 1st daughter born into your mums side of the family and so to save confusion we are known by our middle names.
My mum was taken in her sleep, I had only spoken to her on the phone the night before, the phone call i received the next morning was the worst I have ever received in my life.
It was early on a monday morning in march the 2nd 1998, I was 17 years old an only child with no other family except my dad who was no longer around, he moved out the october before and didnt tell me where he was.
The phone rang and i would usually have left it, but something inside told me it was important. I answered it and the voice on the other end said "Ginette I don't know how to tell you this but your mums gone"
"Gone....gone where???"
"Oh babe she went in her sleep" came the reply.
As you can imagine shock swept through my body the paramedic at the scene came on the phone and explained that her body had to be formally identified and could i get hold of my dad?
The answer to this was no, his mobile would not be switched on until 11-12ish later that morning.
So someone was sent to pick me up and identify her body, I went through all the paperwork with the paramedic and police, then sitting on the sofa i looked around waiting for someone to say come and see your mum but i had to ask "I want to see my mum now please" As I entered the bedroom where she lay I knelt down next to her, she was still warm to touch, I talked to her as if she was still there.
Over the next week or so I had to wait to get the coroners report, in order for her body to be released for her funeral. The cause of death was a heart attack caused by her having osteo artheritis (of the muscles rather than joints) its very rare it spreads to the heart but because it did, it caused her heart to spasm and so arrest into a major heart attack. I was told she wouldnt have felt anything which is a blessing in some ways.
The funeral was hard very hard saying goodbye to my mum at 17 having to be so grown up as now i was on my own.
She was the sweetest, kindest most loving woman I have ever known (easy for me to say) but to all those who had the privlidge in life to have met her and known her would tell you the same. She would do anything for anybody and would turn no-one away.
10 years
Ten years have gone, ten years have past. but loving memories of you in my heart do last.
Your my mum, you always were in every sense of this word. no other mum could compare.
Always there for me through everything, there to hold me in your arms, all the love you did bring.

I love you now as I did then, our bond will never break or bend. I'll miss you until my life ends.
Wishing you were here not gone, but I know your watching over me and my little ones.

Although I never got to meet you, the stories I've heard from Ginette tell me that you were a loving and kind-hearted woman. You did a good job bringing her up always there to look after her, but don't worry I'm taking care of her for you now.
You have 2 beaufiful grandchildren here with us now, Abbie is a clever little girl I'm sure very proud of her and Dillon is gettin there to from we are told at school, and I know your looking after our baby Mikaela for us.
love always forever in our hearts love your son-in -law Mike xxxxx
Have A Good Weekend Everyone
You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...
For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!
However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...
Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.
We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.
Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say,
“Don’t cry, I’m in God’s hands,
We’ll meet again someday!”
“The Best”
God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you
And He whispered “Come to Me”
With tearful eyes we watched you.
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard-working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He chose to take the best.
It’s lonesome here without you
We miss you more each day.
Life doesn’t seem the same
Since you have gone away.
When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper
“Cheer Up and Carry On”
Thoughts Today Memories Forever
