Anne Elizabeth Horton (4 Dec 1952 - 17 Apr 2024)

Annie, I can’t believe you have gone. I wish I was able to see you again but at least my last memory of you was when we were all on holiday together at the beach. It was just fate to have met you there.
You have a beautiful heart and soul and we are all blessed to have known a beautiful angel who has gained her satin wings. I am sure you will be looking down on us all guiding us, showing us signs of love and supporting us when we all need it most.
Until the day I close my eyes to sleep Annie, may you
rest in peace internally.

Hazel

Though you’ve left us, you’re always near,
In every memory, every tear,
A bond of love that never parts,
You’ll live forever in our hearts

Sleep peacefully now Auntie Anne.
Love you forever x x x

To my old friend Ann,where do I start. I have so many memories of us as kids, growing up and getting married to our respective partners, all going out to the cinema and in to the local chinese for a meal, daring each other to " help ourselves to the ashtrays and being chased down the road by an irate waiter. having our kids.the honour you gave me ,asking me to be Matthews godmother and the times we babysat for each other

giving us a much needed break from baby's, nappies etc. Time passed and we lost touch but met up again when you used to come to the United services club and later at the Brown jug and station Road club when we played darts. You always called me Smiffy, never Jean. I'm gutted to hear of your passing but I'm sure that you will have the best farewell the family can give you. Sleep well my friend, Al my love Smiffy 💓 ❤️

So many happy memories, but such a shame we can’t make more.

THE STAR
A light went out on Earth for me
The day we said goodbye
And on that day a star was born, The brightest in the sky
Reaching through the darkness
With its rays of purest white
Lighting up the Heavens
As it once lit up my life
With beams of love to heal
The broken heart you left behind
Where always in my memory
Your lovely star will shine

Rest in pain free peace now
Much love
Max, Steve, Jean, Doug, Craig, Laura xxxxxx

From Darren and Gary matts friends

My wonderful friend. We haven't spoken for a while but each year we would remember our friendship each Christmas. Right from the start you were the best and you had love for everyone. You always looked out for other people and never turned your back on anyone. Your heart was massive and everyone was automatically drawn to your warmth, your sense of fun, your humour and your overwhelming ability to love. I often think of our childhood and how we would play in the Square. I am so very sad but am so glad to have known you. I will miss you. Sweet dreams dearest Lady Anne.

To my dearest ANNIE/Stepmum
I should have said this years ago & whilst you were still with us,(even thou i know you knew the Love i have for you) but the trouble is we never imagine that this day would ever come as we expect you to live forever....I want to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for accepting me into your family as 1 of your own.We definitely had plenty of Laughs ( usually at my expensecos i'd done or said something that i shouldn't have lol ). We had the Best teenage years growing up as you were always there for us all, fun, laughter, good times & the bad times, (but still you'd guide us) & letting us all pile into your home so we weren't getting into trouble outside,but we may have been a bit rowdy & loud laughing and joking @ yours.... I will aways be grateful to you and your family for everthing you done for us ALL...i have such wonderful memories too like you taking us for our 1st proper drink up the Man of Kent or up the Rose, & telling me that my hair looked alright after Matt had cut it ( well i say cut more like Hacked it ) cos we had spent the money on fags & u laughing hysterically telling me it looked and would be alright...Your beautiful Sunday Roasts & even to this day Anne when i smell certain washing it reminds me of you & i whizz back to my teenage years to you standing in the kitchen boiling your whites on the stove and using the twintub as the smell was immense...
So to the BEST Stepmum/ Lady ever now that your pain free, may you Rest In Eternal Peace & be with those that have gone before us, party hard Sweetie & i know when our time comes to follow ya's you'll be there once again with open arms ready to welcome us with you all... So this isnt Goodbye its Till we meet again Wonderful Lady,
LOVE & Miss you ALWAYS
Your ADRIAN 💔❤️💔❤️💔❤️xxxxxx

My Nan, I will always cherish the time we had together even though too short. The love I had and will always have for you is immense until we meet again Nan x

To be honest Anne I don't know where to begin, so I'll start with thankyou. Thankyou for welcoming me and later Mario into your family, thankyou for treating my daughter as if she was one of your own and thankyou for being my friend. Although I'm only at the start of my battle to get rid of this dreadful illness that took you from us far too soon i feel that you are with me everytime I go for treatment. All the staff talk about you and what an amazing lady you were and I know I'm not alone. RIP beautiful lady until we meet again. With so much love xx

RIP beautiful lady ❤️

Though you are no longer part of our lives, we will always remember the laughter an dlove we shared. Gone from our sight, but never our hearts xx
