My mom died on her birthday, it was a big shock to everyone, as we had only been with her half hour
before she passed away. She died of silent heart disease, so no one knew how ill she was, not even
her!
I remember saying to the paramedics that they couldn't let her die on her birthday! Of course
they couldn't stop it happening! It seemed weird to have her birthday cards up one day, and
sympathy cards the next!
My mom was one of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet, don't get me wrong, she could
be grumpy sometimes, but she never ever judged anyone and was always there when you needed her. She
adored her 3 grandaughters and it is very sad that she has missed seeing them grow up and go to
school and college.
The pain caused by the loss of a loved one never really goes away, you just learn to deal with it
better as time goes on!
Reunited with her mom and dad and her 2 brothers and numerous other family members.
**********************
I have not turned my back on you,
so there is no need to cry.
I'm watching you from heaven,
just beyond the morning sky.
I've seen you almost fall apart,
when you could barely stand.
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
and watched him take your hand.
He told me you are in more pain,
then I could ever be.
He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,
then gave your hand to me.
Although you may not feel my touch,
or see me by your side.
I've whispered that I love you,
while I wiped each tear you cried.
So please try not to ache for me,
we'll meet again one day,
beyond the dark and stormy sky,
a Rainbow lights the way.
~Think of Me~
Remember Me:
To the living, I am gone.
To the sorrowful, I will never return.
To the angry, I was cheated,
But to the happy, I am at peace,
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore, gazing at a beautiful sea - remember me.
As you look in awe at a mighty forest and its grand majesty - remember me.
As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity - remember me.
Remember me in your heart, your thoughts, and your memories of the times we loved, the times we cried, the times we fought, the times we laughed.
For if you always think of me, I will have never gone.
Dear Debi, thank you so much for all your support. Sorry I haven't been on for a while, I have not been very well, but am always thinking of my GTS friends and their angels. All my love. xxx
Thinking of you!
Mom you would have been becoming a great granny in about october. Kara is having a baby! How time goes! I'm sure you are looking down and will take care of them both. Wish you were here, you would have been so proud!
Thinking of you always. x x
~Things I left unsaid.~
Family o' mine:
I should like to send you a sunbeam, or the twinkle of some bright star,
or a tiny piece of the downy fleece that clings to a cloud afar.
I should like to send you the essence of a myriad sun-kissed flowers,
or the lilting song as it floats along, of a brook through fairy bowers.
I should like to send you the dew-drops that glisten at break of day,
and then at night the eerie light that mantles the Milky Way.
I should like to send you the power that nothing can overthrow -
the power to smile and laugh the while a-journeying through life you go.
But these are mere fanciful wishes; I'll send you a Godspeed instead,
and I'll clasp your hand - then you'll understand all the things I have left unsaid.
Sorry I haven't been on for a while, I haven't been too well. All my love as always. xxx
A Letter From Home
Many days have passed now
Since I left your world behind
From so far away I watch you
As you hold me dear inside.
I know how much you miss me
Because I miss you in return
Although you know I’m happy
In your eyes the tears still burn.
I try to give you comfort
From heaven when I pray
The only wish I have
Is that I could take your pain away.
Please know how much I love you
That I am always by your side
You see, I have a purpose here
So open your heart wide.
I want to watch the good things
That will happen in your life
I can’t stand to see you sit there
And repeatedly ask why….
There is nothing that you did wrong
And there is nothing you didn’t say
I know your thoughts and worries
As I walk with you each day.
If you listen really closely
You can hear the words I say to you
You see, I still share my secrets
I tell you everything I do.
I stay strong because I love you
And because I know the day will come
When we’re allowed to be together,
We’ll walk hand in hand into the sun….
FOR DEBI WITH LOVE XXX
Your mother is forever with you, she is in the part of your mind where she will never die. This Mother’s Day rejoice and smile. Your Mother gave you life and with that life she taught you many things, but one thing she may not have taught you was how to say goodbye when her time would come to leave this earth. Death it is just the passage through a door. It is from one room until the next, from this life into eternal life. Right there through the clouds is where your mother is, she is in the beauty of roses that bloom.
Remember your mother this Mother’s Day, mourn in her death, but rejoice in her rebirth
~~THINKING OF YOU ALWAYS XXXX
~Wise Men Say~
Wise men talk of worlds beyond
Worlds beyond our eyes
A wondrous place of love and peace
To which the spirit flies
Wise men say we come again
To live another span
That death is just a stepping stone
A pause within the plan
Mystics say that many lives
Are needed to ensure
A perfect understanding
Of God's eternal law
Wise men say with smiling eyes
Our lives are but a dream
A brief illusion clothed in flesh
A role within a scheme
Wise men say that nothing dies
It only changes form
That life goes on despite the myth
We perish in death's storm
So when our loved ones pass away
Let hope replace our pain
Have faith and trust that God ensures
We shall all meet again
Debi, just to say that I'm thinking of you always, and I'm forever grateful to GTS for introducing me to the most amazing, supportive group of friends. All my love. xxx
All my love. xxx
Dear Lord,
Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:
God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm and safe from harm
For they're so close to me.
And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don't mind me asking,
Please bless my computer too.
Now I know that it's unusual
To Bless a motherboard
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.
You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends
I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.
By faith is how I know them
much the same as you.
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.
Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love.
Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits 'send'.
When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who hears this prayer

Thank you!
Thank you Donna from Birmingham for your tribute. I'm very sorry that you went through this too, and you mom was very young, in fact my age, which is scary to think about some times. None of us know what tomorrow brings. Thinking of you x
