Age 64

Married to Don for 45 years 3 children Janet, Jackie, Sarah and 10 grandchildren
Cancer
Pauline, my mum was born in February 1943, the youngest daughter of a very large family, who lived in Adamsdown, which was a very close community, that my mum was proud to be part of. She met my dad and got married in 1962 and settled in Splott. In 1969 we moved to Fairwater and never left.
When my mum was 36 she was struck down (but not out) with Rheumatoid Arthritis which she jokingly referred to as Arthur. Anybody who knew my mum would tell you what an amazing sense of humour she had regardless of the pain she was in. She battled on and then in 2002 she suffered a full blown stroke so with that and arthur she couldnt do nothing for herself she was totally dependant on my dad and a fine job he done too. We thought that would be it as far as illnessess were concerned but in 2007 she was diagnosed with cancer which seemed really cruel after everything else she suffered but like always she tried to make light of the situation. She was a fighter and she fought hard but finally lost the fight in August.
My mum lived for my dad, her children and finally her grandkids, everybody who knew her would remember her as being happy funny and if there was anyone in trouble she was always the first to try and help.
I never realised how much i would miss her but its like a big empty hole that noone will ever be able to fill but i wouldnt wish her back to suffer the way she did so sleep tight mum love and miss you for ever xxxxxxxxx

My Nan,
God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered
Come to Me
With tearful eyes we watched you
and saw you pass away
and although we love you dearly
we could not make you stay
A Golden heart stopped beating
hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove us
he only takes the best
You meant so much to all of us
You were special and that's no lie
You brightened up the darkest day
And the cloudiest sky
Your smile alone warmed hearts
Your laugh was like music to hear
I would give absolutely anything
To have you well and standing near
Not a second passes
When you're not on our minds
Your love we will never forget
The hurt will ease in time
Many tears I have seen and cried
They have all poured out like rain
I know that you are happy now
And no longer in any pain.
Love You && Miss You..x
Mammy
I hope this letter reaches you
Up in the sky so blue,
The beautiful place with golden gates
That you have passed through.
I often wonder if what they say
About Angels & Heaven is true,
But there's one thing that I know for sure is how much I’m missing you
We didn't always see eye to eye
As life and time went by,
But times we shared and memories we made
Will stay with me until I die.
I love you so deeply Mum honest I do
You were a great Mum and wife,
And what I realise now and will remember forever
Is that you are my friend for life.
I talk to you many times a day
I blow you kisses when I'm saying good night
But just lay there and simply think.
Neither of us had a chance for goodbye's,
I try to be brave and I try to be strong
But inside my heart still cries.
I hope you hear me when I talk to you
When I'm happy or feeling blue,
And I hope God hears me when I pray
And that Heaven and Angels are true.
I've heard that Heaven is a place of beauty
far beyond the sky so blue
and know that by now my beautiful mum God has made you an Angel too
I suppose I should end my letter now
With the goodbye's I never got to say,
And how sorry I am that I couldn't do anything
To prevent Him taking you away.
But to say goodbye now seems so final
I can't say goodbye forever,
I've a tear on my cheek but a smile in my heart
For I know one day we'll be together.
So I will end my letter but not with goodbye
But with a thank you for giving me life,
For giving me love, and making me laugh
And sharing with me your life,
I'll treasure the memories I have of you And the life I shared with you,
I promise to cherish my life with Wayne and the kids
But I'll never forget you.
I'm sending this letter with kisses now
Up into the sky so blue,
Please catch them dearest Mum For they are meant for you xxxx
