We have created this website for our darling Mother who died on 15th June 2005 after a wonderfully courageous battle with breast cancer which she fought and won for 5 years but last year she lost her fight.

Mum was 53 years old and she has left behind so much and we miss her so dearly.

She was an adored wife of Colin, the most wonderful Mother anyone could wish for to Lauren, Hayley and Jonelle and was a cherished Nana to Claudia, aswell as a sister to Ray, sister in law to Elaine, Aunty to Neil and amazing friend and mentor to many.

We have set up this website so that we can try to come to terms with her death and to help people to share in the joy of her life.

Please take the time to send pictures, comments, etc as this website will be shown to her grandchildren in years to come, not just Claudia but those grandchildren that she will never get to meet.

Her legacy

RE: Six Years On
Well I had forgotten this site existed until recently when we found it again. Reading through all the memorials we left after your death it made me realise just how hard that period was and how raw it felt for so long.

Life goes on.....well unfortunately never were truer words spoken. We are all doing just fine although the pain of missing you is as hard as it was back then.

Hayley has had another baby although not so much a baby now Reuben he has just turned 4 last month and is a little rogue lovable with it though. He runs rings around Hayley and Claudia is 10 now and turning into a little lady although still a madam with it but she is beautiful and she talks about you all the time. She misses you so very much.

I had a little boy Toby who is now 4 and a half him and Reuben are best mates it's exactly what you would have wanted for them both for us all to remain close. I so wish I got to see your face when I told you I was pregnant and got to see how you were with a little prince instead of just princesses. Boys would have been different ey Mam?

Then there is your baby Jonelle she married James in September 2008 and she looked so breathtakingly beautiful it wasn't even funny she was the image of you. He has looked after her just as he promised he would. Her wedding was an emotional day. Aunty Elaine and Uncle Ray did her proud Uncle Ray walked her down the aisle with such pride you would have loved it. And then last year in august your beautiful Jonelle gave birth to our gorgeous Isla Rose the light of mine and Hayley's lives she is absolutely beautiful and you would have adored her.

Toby is a little character never shuts up just like me when I was that age (well any age really). He is hilariously funny and good as gold if your ears can take the noise.

So that's the last six years in a nutshell really with a lots of ups and downs in between peaks and troughs.

It's been hard "getting on with it". I think about you every single day and the night you left and the period after plays over and over in my mind I remember every detail sights sounds smells everything.

Aunty Elaine and Uncle Ray have been amazing Mam just like you wanted them to be they come over every Sunday and we all get together and have cake & tea and they have the boys overnight regularly and love them like they are their own grandchildren. The truth is having them around means we are still a semi normal family and it's not just the 3 of us against the world.

I hope you are watching over us and we have done you proud since you left.

Chris and I went to Australia on holiday in October and our dream is now to emmigrate there one day. We are following our dreams you have showed me that life is too short not to grab it with both hands and embrace.

So tomorrow we will visit your special place and remember the worst day of our lives the day you fell asleep.

Love you so much Mam that never changes.

Her Legacy Lives On......
Well Mum it's coming up to a year since you left us and Claudia has just turned 5. She is amazing. She started school in September and is excelling as you always knew she would. She loves school and her teacher Miss Pimm. She is so grown up and I know how much you adored her and fought so hard to stay around to watch her grow up and how devastated you were that you wouldn't get to fulfill that wish.

There is also brand new news Mum and that is that I (Lauren) am expecting a baby and I know you would have been SOOOOOOO amazed and happy. Dad is chuffed to bits and no matter what happens and how stressful it can be I will be the best Mum in the world because I have had the most amazing teacher. I love you so much and I wish more than anything that you were here to support me and just be my Mum. I keep thinking about how excited you would have been and how you would have been knitting and buying things for the baby just like you got to do with Claudia.

I do know no matter where you are that you will keep us all safe and that you will be there with me every step of the way even if we can't see you and I will tell my baby about it's amazing Nana in the sky who lit up my life and made me whole every single day.

I love you Mum
