In loving memory of Margaret Shard who sadly passed away on 5th January 2021.
Margaret who had a beautiful soul and was alternatively; a soldier, a secretary, a pub landlady, an office manager, a Lift supervisor (B.Tec.Eng), an equestrian (Horse Diploma and B.H.S rider), a voluntary charity worker, a first aider, a student of the Open University, a post lady as well as Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother and the love of my life.
I trusted her (as so many others did) with my life - She did not disappoint.
Written by Mark Shard - husband to the late Margaret Shard

I’d like to reiterate the appreciation I have for the NHS. The carers were so very kind and looked after our mum ( and immediate family), so very well. Always respectful and empathic, ensuring that our mums dignity was upheld and to the very end. They made an unbearable time a little more bearable so thank you for the bottom of my heart.

Mum, you can now be at peace. It seems surreal that you are no longer here. So very proud of everything you achieved during your life. I will miss you eternally.

Dear Madge, you are so missed, ferociously loyal you were the friend we all needed. Kind and compassionate, but oh how you made us all laugh. Sweeping the yard to within an inch of its life. We will remember you with you laugh in our hearts. Thinking of Mark and your family at this sad time x

Margaret was always very kind to me. I have especially fond memories of her in the Mini Metro chasing the 227 bus through Crystal Palace so I could jump on and get home safely. Also, I would have missed half of my 'O' levels if she hadn't insisted on delivering me to school every day. She was a wonderful lady and I'll always remember her fondly. My thoughts are with you all. xxx

I have to say that when I heard about this service the funeral directors offer I wasn’t too sure about it. But seeing how many people have been able to leave comments,who’s lives were touched by her is so touching. Really lovely for the family to read and it will always be accessible for reflection 🙏💕
