Maureen Gillow (14 May 1932 - 9 Dec 2013)

Hello Mum. It has been quite awhile since I wrote to you and I am sorry for that. You are in my heart and mind every single day. I miss you still very much and always wish you were here with me. I miss our chats and miss you so very much when out shopping. I see other woman with their mums and get upset remembering how we used to do the same. I know you hear me when I talk to you I just wish I could hear you. I am dealing with life without you not because I want to but I have no choice so I make the best of it all. Ellis still remembers you and have told Louie about you. So sad that you could not have met him. Ryan Braiden and Amelia do talk about you on occasions and all of us miss you. I love you Mum with all my heart and promise to leave you a message more often. Speak to you soon. Goodnight for now. All my love Jenny xxxxxx

Hello Mum sorry I haven't written for awhile but you're not forgotten . You are always in my thoughts and my heart. I miss you as much now as when I first lost you, only difference is that I have no choice but to learn to live without you. I so wish you were with me still every day. I miss the chats we used to have even though I proberably drove you mad. Our shopping together. I feel alone without you. Christmas will soon be here once again and I hate it even more without you.
Mum sleep tight and I will talk to you again soon, please stay close to me and your grandchildren and great grandchildren. I love you with all my heart. God bless for now xxxx

My dearest Mum it is a year today that you went away and I miss you just as much. Since the day you gave birth to me I have never been away from you as long as this. I so miss talking and laughing with you. We often talk about the things you said or did that used to make us laugh. Becks doesn't say very much but I know she thinks about you and misses you, she so would have loved you to have met little Louie, he is just as adorable as Ellis and would have made you smile and laugh. Lee he does talk about you but that's where they are both different, he misses you. Ellis was talking to Becks about you and he cried wanting you to come home from the moon and see him. Ryan along with Braiden and Amelia often say things that you used to do with them. And then there's me and Tom, we talk quite alot about you, he misses you mum. He loved the chats you used to have together. If only I could bring you back home. I love you Mum. Please stay close to me and all of us. XXX

Hello mum, I cannot believe that 1 year ago we went away for our last weekend together . We didn't really know that this would be our last chance to do this. All weekend I kept thinking about us when we were away. Oh how I miss you and wishing you were here with me. I cannot talk to anyone like I did to you, you really were the only person that knew me inside out. I talk to you now most days maybe I don't chat for long but it's not the same. Stay with me mum always. I love you so very much. All my love to you Jenny xxxxx

Hello Mum
Just to tell you I Love you and am always thinking of you. Not a day goes by without me wishing you where still here with us all . Miss you so much. xx

My Dearest Dearest Mum
I wish you were here with me to wish you Happy Birthday and give you flowers as I always did. Instead I have put flowers by your pictures and wished you happy birthday.
I talk to you every day and pray you hear me . We always chatted so much and I miss that, I miss you more than words can say.
I sometimes feel that you have gone away for a few days but that you will be back any day, it just doesn't seem real that you are not here with me, we were always together. I go shopping and see others with their mum just like we used to do together and then reality sets in and I know you are not coming back.I pray you are with me and hear when I talk to you I only wish you could talk to me. Maybe you do but I'm not hearing you yet.
Mum I love you so very much as do your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren, they all miss you and talk about you all the time. I just wish I could have you back. Be at peace Mum. You will always be in my heart.

It's so sad that you've gone Maureen. I'm thankful that I knew you, I'll always have fond memories of you especially when me and Becs were growing up, you was kind, caring, no nonsense and fun. Rest in peace xx
