Memories & stories

  • Mums words to us ❤

    I remember giving my mum a book for mothers day called 'Dear Mum, From you to me ' it was a journal asking questions about her memories through the years. On the front page is a page were she could write a letter to us. My mum wrote " first I would like to thank you for being children I could be and am proud of, i am blessed with my children, you are all loving and kind. You are all very dear to me for that i shall always be grateful"

  • The best nannie to my children ❤

    My mother in law Shirley made me feel like part of her family from day one!! She looked so proud the day that i married my husband, her baby boy! I will never forget how thrilled she was when we told her we were expecting her first grandchild, our daughrer Ffion and then 2 years later a second, our son Evan. She absolutely doted on them, we have so many happy memories. We were lucky that we lived so close and spent so much time together. We all miss her each and every day xxx

  • So many memories

    i have so many memories, its impossible to single just one out. I had a fantastic childhood, my mum always wanted the best for us, she supported us no matter what. She was a very kind caring mum, best anyone could ever asked for. She was lots of fun, and very rarely lost her patience with me. She was my best friend and i could tell her anything. I could sit and have a glass of wine with her or a cup of tea, looking back i didn't realise how much i am like her. I love and miss you every day

Eulogy

In my mums own words "I would like it to say I never hits the heights, but i never knowingly hurt anyone or caused harm to anybody. I lived a quiet life, loved my family of three children Gareth, Sian and Sarah and my two grandchildren Ffion and Evan. I was a good friends with Josie, Susan, Judy and Mary i tried to live a good life and was a god fearing person."
