Nan Our earliest memories were at Maino Crescent Time spent there with you were oh so pleasant Out in the outhouse playing with the mangle Or watching you knit making sure your wool didn’t tangle We remember you baking delicious cakes “A splash of vanilla” you said “is all it takes” Sleepovers at yours filled with such fun and kindness We’ll always remember your words before bed “night night God bless” Knitting animals was a fun hobby for you A whole family of mice and even Santa Claus too You were a Nan, Great Gran and great by nature too How lucky we all were to have someone as wonderful as you You used to say “I’m crying, I’m sobbing, I’m Christopher Robin” Now we’re crying, we’re sobbing at the loss of our ‘Christopher Robin’ Our time is filled with sadness and tears But tears turn to smiles as we remember fun times we had through the years You’ll be forever in our hearts Nan Rest in peace Love from Stacy, Ian, Gail and our children xxxxx

MUM Siblings galore being one of nine You left home, got married, your time to shine Along came 4 daughters for you and my dad Holidays in Whitehaven, such fun times we had You embraced my love of the four legged kind With Darkie and Sandy the best dogs we could find Your hobbies of sewing and knitting were fun Knitting clothes for grandchildren was where it begun You started as neighbours and then became a friend Eva and Molly the very best on who you could depend Jean, a great friend since your teenage years Many coach holidays together for festivities and good cheers You thought of others, doing many charity jumble sales Collecting clothing, pricing items and all it entails You loved me to colour and style your hair For me it was another way to show I care You liked to go out, in the car, shopping with me For grocery, for clothes or for presents for under the Christmas tree A milky coffee was the drink of your choice Drank from fine bone china, only the best for my mum, Joyce! Your latter years were spent in the care of others They may not have been family but loved you like their mothers I will always remember your eyes light up and your smile grow Each time I came to see you your happiness would show You would pretend you didn’t know me and give a wink Your sense of humour one of your best qualities I think These are the memories and more, Mum, I’ll love and hold dear And keep in my heart until next time we are near Night night, God bless Love you always Love from Kath xxxxx
