It has now been 3 years and the immense pain of your departure has not subsided. I hope you arranged a welcome party for my dad (Donald Brown) who joined you on 13th November 2020. As each year passes the time that I will see you again, to hug you and laugh with you, becomes closer. I miss you and love you dearly ❤️
Today makes 2 years since you joined the angels in the forever world and I haven’t stopped thinking of you. You will forever be in my heart ❤️
Our Foundation has been broken and will never be the same
Jesus oh how I love calling your name
Seeing you leave, it’s so hard to let go.
As you flew, I told myself not to cry.
Reliving my sights of you in the past.
Watching from the clouds, you can see me grow.
Fly high, Fly by, bluebird I wave goodbye.
Still hear your chirps from the time we met last.
Song engraved in my heart, relieves sorrow.
As you flew, I told myself not to cry.
May you touch others with the spell you cast.
The dangers ahead i hope you foreshow.
Fly high, Fly by, bluebird I wave goodbye.
As you flew, I told myself not to cry.
-Victoria Nelson
I love you Mama! I miss you! <3
I was extremely honoured & blessed to meet you for the 1st time in 2013 whilst on vacation from London & staying at my fathers house in Tweedside. We immediately clicked & I would visit you every year, with a bag of goodies including your favourite coffee, & regularly spend some time with you.
Your infectious smile (whilst in considerable pain) & words of wisdom will never be forgotten. The tsunami of love & affection that you projected was immense & profound.
You are the most beautiful woman with a heart of pure gold & I’m gonna miss you big time. You are now in the SUPER CLUB of ANGELS, which is reserved for the truly incredible.
I take comfort from knowing that you will never ever suffer intolerable physical pain again.
Rest in peace Mama - with much love ❤️
She was a good dressmaker and she
Will be missed may her soul Rest In Peace
my condolence to the entire family as we all mourn her departing......
November 4th 2017 was a memorable day for her. She told me as i lay beside her on the bed with my arms around her that the gathering was a wonderful farewell for her. All but one of her children were there and she mentioned Lamont not being there. She was smiling and she said she made peace with her maker and she wished all her children could find the peace she felt. Even though I kept telling her she will live to see 100,she kept saying she will not live very long in the new year.
Looking back i can say mama knew her time was at hand. I wish we all will be able to have the opportunity to be blessed with that chance but we know life is not like that. Let's take even a chapter out of the book that Mama Iris has written and as such carry on the legacy she has started those many years ago. Keep the Dixon legacy alive.Mama may be gone from this earth but she is in heaven looking on. Farewell Sister Iris. Rest in peace. Soon come
I’ve always adored how much you love your family, and to be honest that will forever stick to me and inspire me to have that kind of love. I miss you everyday Moma, and there’s not a day that I do not think about you. I wish that I saw you one last time, and I wish I got to say a proper goodbye, but I will make sure I tell My grandkids stories about you, I wish they could’ve spend time with you. But I know you are looking down on us and that you are finally at peace. Heaven gained an angel and I will see you again soon, Moma.
The world isn’t the same without you. You held all of us together. There was never a dull moment between us! You always comforted me when mom was deployed... told me there was no need to be sad because you were here! I cherish and appreciate every wise statements and our long talks on grandmas porch❤️ You will forever be held in my heart until we meet again! I love you so much Mama
