Tanya Jacqueline Bishop (21 Feb 1964 - 21 Apr 2018)

Hey Tanya,

I'm sorry I didn't get to see you along, I lost a little one of my own you see. I know you'd have something wise, witty and comforting to say about that. You were kind, understanding and I admired your adamant strength. It made my day brighter when we stopped for a chat and I know you had a good word to say about me, and I'm thankful for that, as you were respected and trusted in your circles. You'll be missed. My sincerest condolences to your family and friends.

Much love, wherever you are xx

Dearest Tanya, you did make me laugh. You were incredibly honest and let me know that the special socks I got for you were ugly and I should make them in more funkier colours. You were generous and although you didn't come to see me as often as I wanted, it was nice when you said 'you're my favourite nurse'...and with such a straight face. Miss you and your banter. Rest in peace.

May she rest in peace, I knew her from the early 80's she was such a character, used to tie her long hair up in a pair of knickers lol, I know she had her struggles but in that environment at that time there wasn't many options. Sending my condolences to her family at this sad time 🙏

Tanya your truly missed at Graham House and without realising you were the Matriarch, where other residents looked up to and respected You. Whilst working at Graham House your words of kindness and encouragement helped bring me through some difficult times.
Jesus has called you home now! Your free… free of pain and Rest in his Everlasting arms because He Loves You.

If Roses grow in Heaven
Lord, please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my Tanya's arms
and tell her they're from me.

Tell her that we love her and miss her,
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for awhile.

Because remembering her is easy,
I do it every day,
but there's an ache within my heart
that will never go away.

Love Always
Dean
