Oh Mum, today is a very significant day as you would have been 100 years old!
Oh how I miss you still and all the chats we had. Today was also the day I went to Ruth’s funeral. Another one of our family has left and she was younger than me. At least she will be with her sister Diane and mum Violet and dad Sid and the rest of the family who have gone before. God bless you Mum. We will meet again one day. ❤️

Dear Mum, A sad sad day for the world.... 8th SEPTEMBER 2022 THE QUEEN HAS DIED... the longest reigning Monarch. I was 1 yr old in the big grey pram, bunting all around in York Rd Edmonton, on her Coronation! It was June 1953.Mum you were a true Royalist. The Queen has gone to be with her beloved Philip. She was 96.2days earlier, she met yet another new prime minister. Doing her duty to the end. Now we must get used to a KING Charles! Very odd. A day that will be forever etched in my mind, a day of torrential rain & being drenched & the Queen coming to the end of her Reign. Love you Mum Always. Miss you so much this day..... Marilyn

. & now it's December & we still have Covid with many deaths throughout the world... But now there is a vaccine & a little hope for the future. Moeder Spruit died on 24 Nov. She was 97! She lived a good long life. Andrew, Femke & Chloe watched the funeral online but I couldn't get the link to work! Andrew said it went off well & there were many tears. They played Eric Clapton See you in Heaven, & in the a sense of a wake, everyone had a mini bottle of Baileys, Moeders favorite tipple. Oh Mum I have so much to tell you.. You will be happy to learn that Sharon & Barry are coming to me for Christmas! I'm so excited. & Andrew s family now have a darling black puppy! She is a delight, I know you would love her. Della is still with us! The last one! I miss you so much Mum. Love you always.... Marilyn

Really miss all the happy Christmases at Ashridge.
How we laughed and would watch everyone open their presents.
Then of course there was the singing and maybe ‘a turn’ from you and Della.
It’s just not the same any more. I particularly remember your last Christmas you came to stay with us.
Love you always ❤️

I've always found it too difficult to say anything here. Keep it to myself usually but you are always with me. I remember when you were my age. Wish you were still here as I have so much to tell you.
I remember when we were walking along the road and you farted. I gave you a side look and you burst out laughing and said "you've got such good hearing!" I still miss you so much 13 years on the 13th.

Oh Mum, today is a very significant day as you would have been 100 years old!
Oh how I miss you still and all the chats we had. Today was also the day I went to Ruth’s funeral. Another one of our family has left and she was younger than me. At least she will be with her sister Diane and mum Violet and dad Sid and the rest of the family who have gone before. God bless you Mum. We will meet again one day. ❤️

Dearest Mum
You  would never believe the state of the world now. It has come to this, millions more global deaths, not like WW2. A deadly virus they call Covid19, an Apocalypse, a PENdemic. It feels unreal, like a film. You would be 96, not that you would ever have lived that long! Only Della left now, & she is 92, lost the will to live. We can only reach her by Snail Mail, who'd have thought..... I'm glad you're not here to witness such devastation & we, the UK, are no longer in EU even! You would be disgusted I know! So. May you remain at peace Mum, as I sit in my beautiful little garden in the warm sunshine with a cup of tea, with you telling me off for some misdemena! You have a new Great Grandson, Harry! Yes! Sophie's darling baby born in July 2019! You would adore him! Let's hope I can update you next year! Love you so much Mum & miss you every day. Forever in my heart ♥ Marilyn

Your favourite rose is blooming better than ever this year as if to remind me it’s 15 years since you left us. Not that I need a reminder.

Drove past the house last weekend with Beata and Kereya. remembered the time we visited from Singapore when Dan was baby. That mnad video of the Edmans sisters talking about what song to play at Doris's funeral; and Doris said "I ain't bleedin' dead yet"; Then laughed like Mutley from Wacky Races!
