Happy birthday Mum,

Thinking of you today Nana. You are still missed and thought of constantly.
God Bless You xxx

Remembering you today and always x

Thinking of you today, Nana, on your 110th Birthday. Remembering you at your Birthday parties and how your face would light up as each person arrived. But parties only last a day, whereas memories are forever, and you will forever be in my memories. Happy Birthday Nana. Love you always and miss you so much. xxx

If you were here today we would be with you in Dorset enjoying the sunshine with a nice glass of wine. Happy 110th Birthday Mum x

Two years since you left us but always in our thoughts, we will love and miss you always x

Although it has been two years since you went away, I feel as close to you as ever, in Mind and Spirit. Always thinking of you and remembering times and moments we had that have been so important to me and always will be. Memories of you will never fade and you will always be in my heart and my life. Love you forever and always Nana. xxx

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free

Miss me a little - but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me - but let me go

When you are lonely, and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me - but let me go

For this is a journey that we must all take
And each must go alone
It's all a part of the Master's plan
A step on the road to home

Miss you always Mum x x

Happy 109th Birthday Nana. x

If only you were going to be here with us today. It will be very difficult without you; without wondering whether you will be sat in the conservatory or outside on the hammock, and without being able to greet each other and wish you a Happy Birthday. But today is still your day as it is in your honour that your family will be together. Somehow I am sure that you will be there all of the time, and you will know how much we all miss you and how much you are thought of, not just today, but every day.

Happy Easter too Nana. Love you so much.

Love Amanda. xxx

One year has passed since you left us, and until we meet again you will be forever in our thoughts x x

Dear Nana,

Although you are no longer here in person I find myself forever turning to you for comfort through difficult times. I miss you very much and am often thinking of you, during both quieter times and in the rush of the day. Perhaps a piece of music will remind me of you and bring to my mind fond memories of our times together. I remember when I would make a surprise visit to you at your home in Surrey and I could hear the operatic music you were listening to as I stood on the doorstep whilst waiting for Auntie Wendy to let me in. I remember your face as I walked into the lounge - how you loved people visiting you and how lovely and cosy it was in that front room which I know you loved so much. Further back I can remember sitting with you in the summer house when we came to stay as children, and in the conservatory which my Grandpa built for you all those years ago. I can think of these times and feel very close to you which is so important to me. It seems I am constantly coming across mauve and purple things, now more than ever, whether it is something in a shop, or an image I have seen somewhere. Perhaps you are letting me know you are still here and with me in some way. Your never-ending faith gives me constant inspiration to not give up and the strength to keep above all that tries to bring me down. I regret deeply that you will not see me once I have finally overcome my long-standing health challenges, for which you have always showed such deep concern. But on a spiritual level I will know that you will be there to rejoice with me throughout every improvement, however small it may be. Nana, you are so wonderful and special. I miss you dearly, but you are forever in my heart. I am so looking forward to telling Louie all about you when he is older to understand. I am so glad that you had some time with him and that he had such an amazing Great-Grandmother to have in his heart forever also.

Heaps and heaps of love,

Amanda. xxx
