Happy heavenly Mothers Day Mum. Miss you every day 💜 xx

What’s the use of flowers on my grave?” You’d often say to me. “Put them in your house, so you can enjoy them when you think of me.” “Put them in full view and enjoy them at your leisure and I just hope that the memories with be those that bring you pleasure.” So Mum, just as you suggested, flowers are in the house with you in mind And yes, Mum the memories are of the sweetest kind. So now on all the special occasions when I would have had you near, when we’d have spent time together - Flowers will be here. But not just on special occasions, anytime that I’m feeling blue and just missing you here with me - I’ll buy flowers just for you. I will be doing this today Mum xx

I'll Celebrate Instead of Cry Another Mother's Day is here, And I still miss having you near. You were the best mum you could be, And I never once doubted your love for me. I could spend each Mother's Day in sorrow, Crying and wishing you were here, But instead I choose to celebrate your life, A life I still hold so dear. I know you'd rather see me smile Than stand here with tears in my eyes. So I'll do my best to honour your memory, And you'll live on as long as I am alive.

If you could be here with me To celebrate today, We'd laugh and smile the way we did, Before you went away. I often shed a tear For the way things used to be And Mother's Day will always be A sad time for me. But I draw comfort, From the memory of your touch, And send my love forever To the Mum I miss so much. xx

Dear Mum We are not fancy people. We have no fancy words to describe just how we are feeling inside. Our hearts are broken and it hurts us so much now you are no longer with us. We will Miss you so much. You will be forever in thoughts and our hearts as long as our hearts are still beating. Good Night Mum & God Bless All Our Love Forever Keith & Gill xxxxxx

A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands at rest It broke our hearts to see you go God only takes the best They say that memories are golden Well maybe that is true But we never wanted memories We only wanted you Your life was love and labour Your love for the family true You did your best for all of us We will always remember you We sat beside your bedside Our hearts were crushed and sore We did our duty to the end Til we could do no more In tears we watched you sinking We watched fade away And though our hearts were breaking We knew you could not stay Our lips cannot speak how we loved you Our hearts cannot tell what to say But God only knows how we miss you In our home that's lonely today Sleep tight and rest mum Love Phil x

I thought of you with love today But that is nothing new I thought about you yesterday And days before that too I think of you in silence I often speak your name Now all I have is memories And your picture in a frame Your memory is my keepsake With which I'll never part God has you in his keeping I have you in my heart Missing you especially today Mum xx

I miss you Nan, more than words can say. I miss your cheeky smile, Your funny little ways, making me smile and giggle. Your little winks when you're messing about, Your pulling tongues, I miss you offering me something a million times until I said yes :) I miss your morning birthday phone calls, Surprising you on Christmas morning. I miss you waving goodbye to me at your door I miss your face, Your kind heart. Everything. 💔 Love you always Nan xxxxxxxxxx

I miss you as I awaken to face each brand new day I miss you as the sun goes down and quietly slips away And then when night time falls my thoughts are all of you You're with me every moment and always will be, too You will always be in my heart mum love you forever Phil

Miss you forever and love you for always Nan 💖 you’ll always bring a smile to my face xxxxxx

If roses grow in heaven, Lord pick a bunch for me, Place them in my Mums arms, And tell her there from me. Tell her I love and miss her, And when she turns to smile, Place a kiss upon her cheek, And hold it for a while. Because remembering her is easy, I do it everyday, But there’s an ache within my heart, That will never go away. Jacqueline xx
