He was an n Ireland man from whiteabbey . She had her first child Robert . Named after his grandad . Mum was so happy .robert   was about six monthes old when he was unwell . And mum found him asleep in his crib . Asleep as gone to heaven . She was devastated . In the space of a year married first child . And a burial . How did she cope . I the remember mum saying her dad got killed coming home from work . And not soon after her mother died . And her brother was washed over board in the navy . Only a strong women could have survived all that . Mum had 11 children . Robert who passed as a baby , or bill who passed not to long ago . Mum was gutted she never got over that . Mum moved to n Ireland to be with dad and was happy . But tragedy struck again . We were all at the beach and dad took a heart attack in the water and died . My untied told my mum to put us all in a home . My mum had no help , she just fought on by herself . And don a great job at that . What an amazing lady . Mum kept us all together . Soon we were all growing up . . Mum met Robert Clark . A wonderful man . She had two children our siblings carol and Lynne . He was a great dad /stepdad I really cared for him . Sadly Robert has passed now to . We all moved to Manchester . Mum loved it here . She had the most trendiest bungalow you could imagine . Full of mode cons . Better than I had ha ha . She always loved her country music . And it rubbed off in all of us . She loved buying records . Then CDs . She had the best collection . She could have opened a music shop . Mum lived for her children . And grand children and great grand children . She was happiest with babies in her arms . She was always buying baby clothes she made me love , what a character she was . I can see her wee slimney face laughing now at dirty jokes . Mum you are such an amazing woman . How you got through all the heartache and losing all your loved ones . And still hiding your pain from us all . I don't know how you did it . All I can say mum , you are the most amazing woman I know . Love by everyone that came in to your life . Everybody loved you . Your so pretty mum , your skin was amazing . You had a beautiful heart an soul . You hid everything from us . And didn't want to worry us .
