Good night mum, today you took with you a piece of all of our hearts. Your service was as beautiful as you. The tributes were so fitting and I know you would have been bursting with pride at all the lovely things said about you. You never knew just how special you were. You always deflected the attention back onto everyone else, but deep down you were truly adored by so many and especially your family. We worshipped you. Absolutely worshipped you. For your wit, your laugh (that only Bren can take off!), your care (sometimes far too much - Anna please don’t drive that way what if you break down at night) 🙊, your generosity - there wasn’t a week went by that the kids didn’t get treats of some description and when I was poorly myself you’d send my favourite foods to cheer me up) and overall your love...for everyone that had the pleasure of being part of your family or held you as a friend. Your love often got me through a tricky time, the reason to this day I want to hug and kiss everyone I meet. You taught us that. To open our arms and love people. To be kind. The reason today your granddaughters wept as we followed you on your last journey and left your in your resting place. Aoife wept because she adored you. Not like a nan but like her second mum. Thank you for helping me raise my girls, they’ll always remember the love and kindness you shared with them and for loving Nick from the moment you met him (even though he’s a Man Utd supporter) he actually turned out to be a pretty good egg. He loved you too, so much and enjoyed winding you up every time you’d speak on the phone.
For the last time, good night mumma (still called you that at 35) 🙊 no more pain, no more suffering but love, catch ups with your ones gone before and a new life where I know you’ll be waiting. Meet you there one day 💕💕
Thank you for loving me unconditionally.
Apsey xxxxxxxx
