In loving memory of Stephanie Louise Bush who sadly passed away on 14th June 2012

There is a lot that I could write about our mum but it's only things you already know.

From my brother and I point of view, Stephanie was the best mother in the whole world. She was fair, funny, didn't get jokes until about an hour later, sung the wrong words to most songs. She loved to dance ( badly, sorry mum) and she made us the people we are today.

She managed to be our mum but also our best friend. Even the age we were she only had to give "the look" and we knew we was very near the line! We would and could go to her about anything.

For me, I remember her laugh, the sound of her voice. Her cuddles and kisses. I remember watching her gardening, or watching tv holding her cup with both her hands wrapped around it. I remember watching her read a menu at a restaurant knowing she was going to have the steak and kidney pudding.

I have to stop there I'm afraid. Not because I have run out of nice things to say but even now, 5 years later it's sometimes just too much to bear.

In the end, I know she was scared but she was so brave. She was surrounded by love and I know she knew it.

You all know mum In different ways, we all have our memories of the way she has touched our hearts. We are very proud that you got her as a friend or sister or auntie but we got her as mother.

Until we meet again, love always

Dear Stephie,
I have retired and have found time to start looking through photos of yesterday, what lovely memories I have. Last summer I went to Guernsey and met our Dutch friends; we all went to the Little Chapel. They are having to do restoration work otherwise it would fall down. It is still beautiful.
I miss you as a sister and a friend. Until we meet again. xx

hi Mum. I wish this was a message u would read. I couldn’t write yesterday it was to upsetting.
I’ve been sorting out the loft and you have a lot to answer for hahaha! The gardens doing well but if you could zap some weeds that would be amazing 😉 I also need to know how you made your rice pudding. My attempts are just not the same.
Oh I miss you mum. I remember everything, your smile, your voice your stupid dancing... I think Ryan gets his moves from you. I still can not believe you are not here, I remember our last words but there is so much I wish I could forget, so much I wish I didn’t know. I just can’t forget the pain. But I was there and so was Pete and I hope that gave you comfort. I still think of you everyday. I love you mum xxxx

Hi mum, sorry about the new page but it was out of my hands.
I truely wish this was a message u will read, although if it was I don't know if I would shout at u for leaving me, beg u to forgive me or just tell u how much I love u.
It's nearly your birthday, 65!!! I know u would have been excited about the bus pass! Hahaha
I have so many wishes, I wish you had seen your grandchildren, I wish Ryan could have cuddles with u, I wish you were here to walk pepper with me, play stupid games with, walk on the beach for hours collecting shells, sing all the wrong words to songs with. But your not. I speak to u but u don't answer. I cry for u and u don't answer. I beg God to give u back, he doesn't answer. I get the impression I'm talking to myself! I could go on forever but I won't. I miss u just as much now, maybe even more than when we held your hand and u left us, left me. I love you mummy and I hope u are not in pain anymore and u are happy and that u are dancing. Lots of love, always Kylie and Ryan xxxxxxx
