Mum, I have so many memories and it's hard to know we're to start, when you was pregnant with me you got struck by lightning and uncle Bob came home to surprise you which put you into labour with me, you gave birth to me on 06/12/1972 and that's when all troubles started lol, we have lived in a few different places through the years, Bulwell Hall Estate, balloon woods, Arnold, Basford, Crabtree Farm Estate, Bulwell Hall Estate, Snapewood than I flew the nest and left home, when I moved out, you came to see me everyday for 8yrs we used to go shopping together have holidays at grandads chalet in Mablethorpe, go for days out, I gave you 3 beautiful granddaughters which you adored and spoilt you would do anything for me and them, than in 2013 you was given a great granddaughter, over the past few years you have stayed with us at the caravan which you always enjoyed, about 3weeks before you left us you had stayed with us at the caravan for 5days, in which we really enjoyed having you, we spoke about all the old times, Marvin took you home, and you had sometime with Jenna and your cat T, on the 15th September 2016 we surprised you by dropping in and giving you your DVD player, than I got a phone call on the 17th September 2016 to say you had passed away peacefully at home, I got in bed with you and cuddled you so much just wishing you would wake up, mum I'm so glad I got to dress you, the day of your funeral came 12th October 2016 and I came to see you again, I gave you a big long kiss and said my last goodbye, I helped to put your lid on and screw it on, the funeral went really well, myself, Marvin, Karl and Kelly walked you into the Crematorium with Ben and Trev carrying you, with Bob and Wendy walking in behind you, as we was walking in you had crying in the Chapel by Elvis Presley, I chose and I dedicated a song to you called Friends by David Essex, at the end of the funeral we had One pair of hands playing, while people from the back left first so us as a family could have a couple of minutes to ourselves with you to say our final goodbyes, your flowers was absolutely beautiful and everything worked like clockwork.
Mum you maybe gone but you will always be in heart and I have some very fond memories that will last forever, love and miss you always
