27th February 2026. Beloved Mum, 11 years ago, this very night, I spent the saddest moments of my life, by your side,knowing there was nothing I could do to protect you further, or to stop you leaving us.
I remember, and always will, holding your hand and telling you how you were the best Mum ever and how much your entire family loved you more than words could ever say.
Although it broke my heart to be with you, I am so glad I was,so that I got to say goodbye to the beautiful Mum we all loved and cherished forever.
Being the caring,loving Mum you were,We know that you would not have wanted us to feel pain or sadness or to grieve from losing you.
After this amount of time, we are able to share so many fond tales of our lives with you and find so many reasons to laugh at our happy memories with you and Dad.
Last year,on 2 occasions, Jo and Steve, Mindy and Clem and Maddie and I, met up in Weymouth,where we enjoyed some of our best family times together with you and Dad. We all had funny stories to recall and all felt really close to you,as this was one of your favourite places.
So,tomorrow on the 28th February 2026, your 3 loving children, 7 Grandchildren and your Great-Grandchildren will all be thinking of you,in their own ways and no doubt be thinking of the wonderful,kind and very special person that you were. Love you forever precious Mum and still miss you loads.
Jo,Simon and Mindy
