Mam I'm going to miss you more than I can say. You were a big part of my life and Rachael and Simon's. They're was hardly a day went by that I didn't see you apart from the odd holiday and me testing positive with covid didn't keep us apart for long. You were ecstatic when you tested positive a few days later as you said, "You can come back down now as I'm positive now!"
I'm glad I spent that time with you and told you time and time again that I loved you as I regretted not telling Dad enough times. I hope you're reunited with Dad, your parents, your Grandma Matthews, cousins and the rest of the family. You'll be telling Dad all about your 4 Grandchildren and the newest addition Olivia, your first Great Grandchild.
Miss you Mam. Love always from your loving daughter Janet. Xx
