The obituary notice of Christina (Tina) CHAPMAN

Mumma, today has been one of the most difficult, of all of the difficult days. You always made Easter so special, there was always a long line of Easter eggs from you, loving Aunties, Uncles & Nanny. Then you, in the kitchen, playing Motown songs, spending hours making your amazing roast with your infamous Yorkshire Puddings. Then we’d watch Mary Poppins or Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. You’d usually fall asleep 🥰. You always made it special. No matter what. This tradition has lasted the years. Everyone was welcome at your table. Mumma, the pain of missing you is indescribable & unbearable. I just beg for one more hug, one chat, a phone call, I miss you answering my call with ‘Hello lovely’. I miss making you a snack, an egg sandwich or a hot chocolate. I miss all of it. You are & forever will be in my heart & in my head but there’s just this massive, stomach churning knot & an overwhelming pain. I have things to ask you, things to tell you. I’m so lost without you mummy. I miss you beyond words or comprehension. I love you so very, very much. You’re the best xxx 🪽

MUM
One week after I attended your funeral and we go through heartache yet again.
I have no words,I feel numb.
Look after my baby.
Love and miss you both so much.The time I need you more than ever and I cant break my heart on the phone.i need you so much.
I hope you are both looking down on us and give us the strength to continue in this horrible,unfair life.
Miss you both like crazy and think about you every single minute of every single day.
Love you both sooooooo much xxxxxxxx

Mummy I miss you so so much. It gets harder every day. I have never gone this long ever without seeing you.
Life feels so empty. I feel so empty.
All I want is a hug from my mummy.
I remember at Myton 3 days before you left us, you making space for me so I could get into bed with you and snuggle. I never wanted to let go! We always had snuggles and I miss that so much.
You always would say to me that ‘I’m a mummy’s girl’ and I really was. Being with you was my favourite thing!
I miss our chats. I miss giving each other the eye and knowing exactly what we were both thinking. I miss laughing with you. I miss playing boggle with you, the alphabet game and the ‘who am I game’.
The grief of not having any of that anymore keeps hitting me like waves.
I miss your face, your voice, your smell!
I miss phoning you for advice and you knowing exactly what I needed to do every single time. You always made everything okay.
There’s so much I want to talk to you about. I know exactly what you’d be saying about things that have happened. You’d be rolling your eyes and having a moan too! You seen through all of! And now you see it all!
I promise you mummy I will be the best person I can be and make you so proud!
I love you more than you could ever know!

This is all the donations made on the day of Tina's funeral. On behalf of the family we cannot thank you enough for your generosity, Myton is such an amazing charity that deserves every penny off this. Tina would be so happy with the amount raised .

Love Geo and Col

Everyone that has donated and continuing brilliant very needed for there work and donations are really needed they are not funded and rely on donations.
Thanks for the cards,flowers and messages received to us all the outpouring love has been amazing and we thank you all.And a personal thank you from myself I'm so devasted about my mum and never seeing her again and like others will grieve forever just as mum did with her dad but I have to say yesterday was flawless my mum would be the proudest person how her incredible family came together and the love between all for each other was so visible,so thank you family I knew we could do it and we did it for mum.The part that will stay in my head my proudest moment was when we got out the car,held hands and walked behind mum.Well done all everyone made her so proud.
Thanks to all that attended mums celebration of her life.For some that travelled long distances also.I know for a handful of people it was very difficult due to personal reasons but the fact you turned up did not go unnoticed.
The flowers were beautiful.
3 weeks I tried to learn the words to her exiting song did I conquer it absolutely not.
I'm sure there's so many more people that require a thank you but I've missed off so thank you also.
From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU.We all did her proud xx

Mummy!
Yesterday was the hardest thing ever I’ve had to do!
To say goodbye is a pain that I’ll never be able to describe.
To be so close to you but not be able to have snuggles or hold hands was unbearable.
I hope we all made you proud!
We all stuck together and were there for each other just like you always wanted and I promise we will continue to be there for each other and always talk to each other about you.
Today I am left with such a massive void. I feel so empty, so lost!
I talk to you all the time, I think about you all the time and I miss you every second!
I know you told us not to grieve for too long but I will grieve for you for the rest of my life. Because you were my life!
I’ll try to be strong like you were but I will never stop missing you.
Now you get to rest mummy like you so deserve but please when you can send a sign to let me know you’re there cause I need my mummy now more than ever. Forever & always!
Love you mummy, love you so so much xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Rest in eternal peace Tina, all our love Eileen & family xxx

They say legends live forever and that’s certainly true of you. You have left a beautiful legacy that anyone who’s life you touched will carry forward. Your strength and bravery shone through today in your family, they did you so proud.
Thank you for every piece of advice, all the hugs and the laughs, it was a blessing growing up living next door to you. This isn’t goodbye, it’s see you again, rest easy now Tina.

Love Lisa xx 🫶🏼🕊️
