The obituary notice of Jennifer Elaine (Elaine) HURST

It was an unexpected shock that you suddenly passed away, after only just coming out of hospital, but I am glad that we came to see you, everyday, for the month that you were in hospital and that we were able to spend what was your final days together.

We had been talking about and had planned to have a little birthday party for Devin, once you were home, and it breaks my heart to know that you won't be able to see her again. You were so happy and proud to be a Great-GrandMother, and it was such a special time when we would all come to see you with baby Devin and to see the smile that she brought to your face. You can see the bursting pride in your eyes in the pictures of you holding Devin.

It is going to be so hard to never be able to come and see you again, but you are out of pain now and resting in peace up in heaven. We will always talk about you, and especially to Devin, so that your memory will always live on through us.

You will always be with us in our hearts and thank you for everything that you have always done for our family.

We all love and miss you, Nan, and we always will xxx

❤️ 🙏

Every Sunday that we came, you and Grandad Paul would measure us against the door frame and mark the height so that we could measure how much we'd grown each week, and we always looked forward to seeing how much we had grown each week to the next.

From as long as I can remember, you have always showered us all with love and care and have always been there for the whole family. So, it is a strange and sad feeling to know that we will never watch any of your favourite crime, detective or drama shows together again and will never enjoy a roast dinner together again or talk about the football results or talk about how much we miss and love our sweet Smudge.

I won't be able to give you another box of your favourite chocolates Black Magic and Frys or another bottle of Baileys and Martini for your Birthday and Mother's Day, but I know you'll still be enjoying your beloved jaffa cakes, if Smudgey lets you.

The world is a much dimmer place now that you are no longer with us, but heaven has gained a true angel and the sky has gained a shining bright star which I know will always be looking over us.

I know that you will have already given Smudge a big hug and kiss from me, and that you'll be giving her another bone biscuit as you're looking down on all of the family now. You always said it was the best thing you and Grandad Paul ever did by getting Smudge. It was the best thing for me, too and I remember when we took her, with Mum, to puppy training (that was fun) and on all of the walks we'd take her on together.

When Smudge later came to live with us, she became my best friend and was the most amazing, precious, and sweetest babygirl. I always think of her and miss her more and more each day, but I know that you'll be back playing with her now and cuddling her.

Nan, you were the most kindest, most caring and most loving person anyone could have had the pleasure of meeting, and you were the absolute best Nan to me and Daniel.

You raised my amazing Mum to be just like you: a caring, special, kind, and loving woman who does everything and anything for anyone and everyone, just like you have always done. Myself and Daniel will be eternally grateful for the job you done in raising our wonderful Mum.

I have so many special memories of us all spending time together. I will always remember and will miss coming to see you and Grandad Paul, every Sunday, to enjoy our roast dinners together as a family, and how delicious the gravy and roasties always were.

We always watched the soaps or films together and then went to the Earl to watch the Liverpool matches and play pool. Grandad Paul would always walk down and put a bet on for me and Daniel, on the first goalscorer, before we went to watch the game and we did have a few winners. Every Grand National we would look through the paper and pick a few names of horses we liked, and it being the only bet Nan would do each year.

You came to all of mine and Daniel's school plays, all of the Christmas nativities that I narrated in Church, and to all of my school and University events. It meant, and will always mean, so much to me to know how proud I made you.

I still remember when we'd decorate your Christmas tree together, every year, and put tinsel up all over the house, fairy lights on the walls and picture frames, and then open our Christmas presents on Christmas Eve. We always had such a good time and a laugh doing our annual Christmas quizzes, created by Grandad Paul, and going to see the huge reindeers and santa across the road.

We made such great memories together on our annual holidays in Wales, and had the best of times. I remember always playing football outside with Daniel and when you would come and watch us playing tennis with the deck chairs and lemonade.

To my beautiful mum wat can I say no words can describe the pain and heartache that I feel you can rest in peace now and no more pain for you love you always and forever Jane & Reg
