Tragically died in Rotherham General Hospital, on July 23rd, 2010, aged 82.
Precious memories of a dear wife,
mum, grandma and great-grandma.
We little knew that morning, mum,
That God would call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we can not see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
—Love from your heartbroken family John, Christina, Linda, Hazel, John, Ron, Mick, Albert and Joanne.
Softly the leaves of memory fall,
Gently we gather and treasure them all,
Unseen, unheard, you are always near,
So missed, so loved,
so very dear.
Love you always, grandma.
—Your cherished grandchildren and
great-grandchildren.
