Betty was the kinest nicest most well liked person imaginable. she died last night (19th aug 08) surrounded by family. she raised 8 children and was an adored grandma and proud great grandma. a well loved sister and friend. Betty was so strong and fought cancer for 9 months.
Gran, i just dont know what to say, the heartbeat of our family has gone. the impact you had on out lives was unimaginable. how do we carry on without you. crazy to think we will never see you again, never spend another saturday afternoon, all of us together at your house fighting for a seat, laughing and joking and having you on. but you knew, you knew no mater how much we teased you that we loved you and i know you wouldnt have had it any other way. right til the end we were laughing and joking. love you more than the world forever and a day. you have looked after us for long enough, now go make sure grandad, gill and penny have managed without you, its their turn now. love claire xxx
Another Year Without You
Well Gran, its New Years Eve (or Old Years Night as you called it), and im sat home alone, something you would never have done, always the life and soul you were. It just doesnt seem worth it without you. watching the video of you i filmed on your last NYE, thought that was as tough as life would get, sitting there with you, knowing that you wouldnt be with us the year after, but i was wrong, the last 3 years without you have been much much harder.
many a party was had at your house on nights like this. those were the days, all the family together, doesnt happen these days.
facing the start of another year without you is painful, but will face it head on and get through it again, like have done with the last 3 years.
love you more than the world forever and a day.xx

3 Years
well, its been three years since u left us. the longest, hardest 3 years of my life. only now do i begin to feel that im even starting to get over loosing you. its been a long tough road but i can now see some light at the end of the tunnel. anniversaries are always hard. everyone is thinking of u. u havnt been out of my mind all day. reliving every single minute of it, i remember it as if it was yesterday from the moment i woke up to the moment i went to bed. 19 aug08 will never leave me. think of all the fun times and try to carry them on as i know that os what you would have wanted, but its hard when the life and soul has gone. u lit up a room and if i close my eyes i can still hear u laugh.
love and miss you so much. xxx
You Should Have Been There
Gran as u know Phil got married 2 weeks ago (i was on holiday so couldnt be there) but u should have been there. just been looking at the pictures, you wouls have loved it..the 1st of your grandchildren to get married. its things like this that make me miss you more. family gatherings just arnt the same without you..you should have been on those pictures. you would habe been so proud. nt a day goes by without me thinking of you, but then something like this happens and it just makes it even harder. almost 3 years since you went, and it hurts as much now as it did then. love and miss you sooo much.

Miss You
MIss you Gran, love you soooo much, more than the world forever and a day. thinking of you this mothers day, well thats a silly thing to say really cos thinking of you everyday. not a day goes by without me thinking of you x x x
Missing you so much this Christmas Gran. Everyday without you is unbareable, but this time of year is especially hard. cards shoud be sent, presents bought, memories made, but all we have are memories of christmases gone by. great memories, but i want you not memories. the last 3 years have been so so hard, finding out u were ill, then celebrating chrismas knowing it would be your last. that was so hard. you fought for as long as you could and i would have given anything not to see u suffer, to take away the pain. ur at peace now. enjoy your christmas, will be thinking of u all day tomorrow. love and miss you, claire xxxxxxxxx
Well Gran, you would be 80 now. seems like only last week we were celebrating your 70th, but that was 10 long years ago. this is 3 birthdays we havent been able to share, where we havent been able to see your excited face or hear you giggling and laughing. tease u about your age. crazy to think its the little things u miss..seeing all the cards on your sideboard, you getting so many bunches of flowers that you run out of vases, the chocolates that u try and hide fromus but we always get of u in the end. i just don know what to say other than i love and miss you so so much! xx
2 years on xxx
well its been 2 years since we lost u. i havnt been able to get yu or that day out of my head for the last week, maybe what i said last time i was here jinxed me, because its just got harder and harder. or maybe its just the time of year. i cant believe 2 years have gone by, the hardest 2 years of my life. how are you meant to pick up and carry on when uve lost the most important person in your life. its been so so hard but thats what we have all had to do. its taken 2 years to get some sort of normality back, and now this day has come it feels like im back where i started. youre at peace now tho and that give me some comfort.
love and miss you loads

Miss You So Much!
Gran, I cant begin to say how much i miss you, there are no words to show. what i would give to have you here, just for a night. one more night to tell you how much i love you, how much i need you here. the whole family does. almost 2 years and i still cry, my heart still aches. august is a horrible month. the month we lost you. i think of the pain you were in this time 2 years ago and realise how selfish it is of me t want you back, but i cant help it. i need you. i miss you. you were the glue. saturday afternoons at your house seem like a lifetime ago. i just want to see your smile, hear your voice, your laugh. im smiling now, but crying too. theres so much i want to say but im reading this back and it just sounds like jibberish.
does time heal? i dont know, i guess it does a little bit. i can go longer without needing to come here and talk to you, but is that a good thing. i have your picture near my bed so youre the first person i c in the morning and the last at night. i cant think of you without crying..sometimes. other times, just hearing your name makes me fall apart. so maybe time has started to heal, 2 years down the line. the 2 most painful years of my life.
love u gran and miss you so much. xxx
79 weeks, 4 days
79 weeks 4 days..thats how long uve been gone. the last week or two have been some of the hardest to cope with. dont know why, its just been really hard without u. time passes and things get easier to deal with, but the pain doesnt get any less. its just as painful today as it was 79 weeks and 4 days ago. i love and miss u so much, not a day goes by without me thinking of u. something will happen and ill want to tell u, ill see something and think of u. its the little things. remembering is easy, its the times i forget that are hard.
love u gran xxx
