Grandma, I didn't spend as much time with you as I wish I had, that should be a lesson for us all... its only something we think about when it's too late... but the time I did spend with you I will always remember and appreciate. Many years passed between my visits, and right up to the end you was still the same strong, fierce, and humorous person you was when I was a sprog.
My fear of death has diminished when I think about how you faced it with not only stubbornness, but dignity.
Love you always, Christian. Xxx

Mum,

Words can’t explain how much I am missing you, everywhere has been so quiet, so empty since you left, life will never be the same without you, mum.

I will miss our little trips into town and the trips up to the post office every Wednesday! Ingoldmells won’t ever be the same without you though, going out on “the buggy” and I’m running behind trying to keep up with you, going for dinner at the tipsy cow in Skegness before our usual shopping trip to Tesco.

I’ll miss your big bear hugs and your kiss goodnight, I’ll miss you knocking on my door and shouting good morning to me every morning but most of all I will miss your smile, your laugh, your voice, your stubbornness (which you passed on to all of us!), your hilarious sense of humour, your kindness and the way you always helped anyone in need.

You always saw the best in me, whether I was right or wrong you were always on my side, you helped me and encouraged me to grow and become a better person, without you I wouldn’t be who I am today and I will always be so thankful and grateful for everything you ever did for me.

A mum is not somebody who gave birth to you, a mum is someone who loves you, care for you, encourages you, who helps you and supports you as if you were her own, and that’s is exactly what you did for me, you were the best mum I could have ever wanted.

This is not goodbye, this is I’ll see you again soon.
I love you to the moon and back (AND BEYOND

From your little buggeroo 😘❤️

Grandma,
What can I say other than you was a absolute firecracker! You taught us all strength and definitely stubbornness too. I'm so happy you got to meet the newest addition to your family before you left and I hope she gave you some peace on those last days. You've always been the strength I wish I will have as I grow.
You will never be forgotten you touched each and everyone of us, so many hearts are now missing a vital piece but you will be there everyday.
All my love Em-J, Curtis and the monsters x

Mum
When we first met it was difficult to say the least
But as the years rolled on we developed an understanding and lately a mutual love and respect
I am honoured to be your daughter in law and to remember you called me your daughter
A difficult road that led to heartfelt memories and laughter
It was my pleasure to be able to look after you in your final months, I wouldn’t have changed it for the world
I remember with love and affection the 5am sunflower dances and the smile you gave me each morning when I brought your cuppa.
We made promises to each other and I will never break mine to you
Sleep tight darling mum be forever at peace in the loving arms of Arthur
Love and respect now and forever
Mrs mole

mum
You were my inspiration, my guiding light and my place of comfort
Although you are now reunited with dad my love for you will remain forever deep in my heart
As will the memories we made.
Your courage and strength over the last few months are something we should all aspire to.
May the angels hold you as tight as i would and love you as much as i do
My tears wont just be of sadness now you’ve gone but mixed with the memory of the laughter we shared.
I bet your keeping them all in check up there
Give em hell

I love you with all my heart
Forever and always
Your mr mole in the hole
