Barbara Monsarrat (2 Aug 1944 - 18 Mar 2019)

Today we said goodbye to you, and its one of the hardest things ive ever had to do. I'm used to you always been there, just sat by the radiator, the one you could get closest to of course, shivering away doing your puzzles with a glass of cider and the chase on the TV. I'll take these memories to my grave, even if it is just every time i put the heating on or do the ironing. I hope we've made you proud enough today as we know you were always quite fussy, but i think we got it spot on and you would be beaming with smiles if you could be here to see it but we know you're here in spirit and always will be. I'm gunna miss your phone calls every other Sunday just to check up on me to make sure im doing okay and that precious moment when you would always end the phone call with 'Goodnight, God bless and I love you' and i would always reply the same.
You're gone but will forever be in my heart.
Goodnight, God bless and I love you.

We remember a smile we would love to see,
A hand we would love to touch,
We remember a voice we would love to hear,
And a face we loved so much,
We remember a heart, a loving heart,
Thoughtful, kind and true,
We remember them all, we loved them all,
For they all belonged to you,

Miss you so much Mam, Sleep tight,
Your loving Son and Daughter in Law, Mark and Tracy.

Dear Barbara,
I remember you from when I was a little girl, you seemed so tall, you used to come round to our house to have a cuppa with my mum, you and my mum were friends and stayed friends until the end.
It was a real pleasure to get to know you again after so many years of not seeing you, and the last few Christmases with you, with all our families together, will always be lovely memories for me. You will be missed by all.
Sleep tight Barbara xx
Love
Debbie, Rich, Liam, Laura, Ben, Ryan, Emma, Charlie and Amelia x

Mum
I miss you so much, our house is so empty on Tuesdays & Thursday's, I miss our gossips in the car on your way home, I even miss you complaining about my iron! I cant process that you've actually gone, we still leave the washing up for you & the ironing is piling up! I hope you know how much I appreciated your help & I know you loved playing a big part in raising your grandchildren & they all love you dearly as a result.
I seek comfort in the hope that you are in a better life with Grandma & Grandad & not alone, & i cry because you should still be here with us, taken too soon. Until we meet again. Love Forever, Shell, Pete & Ellie xxx 💔
