68
Lived in Newport all her life. Brought up in Maindee with her mum and dad and 1 sister Janet.
Was married to my Dad John for almost 48 years and had 7 children (4 boys and 3 girls) raised very well too by them both. She was a loving Nanna to 19 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren and an Aunty to many also.
Mum suffered with stomach cancer, which after 5 years being in remission, and devastatingly after gruelling and intense chemo came back with a vengence and spread to her liver and she sadly passed on. She loved her bingo and going away every year to Devon in a caravan with Dad and visiting relatives there. Her last job, which she loved was a Mini Bus Escort for special needs children.
I love her so much and miss her so badly. I thank her for my childhood and all that she was to me, my Mum, my best friend and was there always when I needed her. God Bless Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Please could you also remember my Nephew ~ Robert Ellender, who we sadly lost 6 months after my Mum.
I would like to say a big thank you for everyones love and support to myself, my darling mother Val and my gorgeous nephew Rob .Thank You again so much and my love goes out to you and your angels also.

Memories From a Fading Room
The room is bare now that you've gone away,
no warmth is there to touch my heart turned cold.
Aware that time won't find me without you,
I try to set aside those memories old.
Running fast and far, I seek to find,
a haven, where thoughts of you recede,
a sanctuary for my ailing soul ~
one moment's joy from sowing grieving's seed.
And there beyond the past the future lies,
a shining castle by the sea of time,
calling softly to me as I run ~
luring me with peace I hope to find.
But as I cross the threshold, there I pause.
Sadness slips across my thoughts in great dismay,
for there your absence grows and echoes loudly ~
in empty rooms that take you far away.
No memories there to cherish and to hold ~
only space and wind and air, without you there.
Return, I must, to rooms where you still linger.
Without you, life would be too hard to bear.
The room is bare now that you've gone away,
but within my heart you'll always live and thrive.
Your memories will walk beside me always ~
to remind me you were once there by my side.
* ~ *
Give me the memories, for they have been left,
to bring me joy and laughter when you've gone.
I'll cherish them in sorrow, and in pleasure ~
and hold them closely 'til my life is done.
(Title inspired from album by Future Loop Foundation)

Happiness always looks small
While you hold it in your hand
But let it go
And you learn at once
How big and precious it was

~~~~~TO A PRECIOUS ANGEL~~~~~
ββββββββββΰ³α¦♥α¦ΰ³ββββββββββ
ΰ³α¦♥α¦ΰ³♥ Angel of the Heart ♥ΰ³α¦♥α¦ΰ³
When you hear an Angel softly whisper to you,
In the light of the day,or the darkness of the night,
When you feel the presence of an Angel caress you,
And see their beautiful wings spread in graceful flight.
βΰ³α¦♥α¦ΰ³ββ
When something inside you makes you smile,
Or you feel a warmth suddenly wash over your heart,
When your dreams are beautiful and include an Angel,
As you lay with your pillow,in the dark.
βΰ³α¦♥α¦ΰ³ββ
When you're alone and everything is quiet around you,
Yet you can hear the sweetest lullaby being sung,
When waking up in the morning,and troubles feel lighter,
From speaking with an Angel,before a new day has begun.
βΰ³α¦♥α¦ΰ³ββ
Then you know I am the Angel who you can feel and hear,
Your special Angel from Heaven who will always be so near,
I am no longer able to be here in body,but I'm with you every day,
As my loving heart, my soul,and my Spirit, will never be far away.
Written by Pamela Hall.

Tributes For Week Commencing 30th January 2012
___()''""() ____*_Hugs_____*♥*
__("( 'o', )_*♥*__Hugs___ *♥.*
__(")(")(,,)___*_Hugs___ *♥*
FOR MONDAY
Our thoughts are ever with you
Though you have passed away.
And those who loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.
♥
FOR TUESDAY
Everyday in some small way
Memories of you come our way.
Though absent, you are always near
Still missed, loved and always dear.
♥
FOR WEDNESDAY
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.
♥
FOR THURSDAY
We can't have old days back
When we were all together.
But secret tears and loving thoughts
Will be with us forever.
♥
FOR FRIDAY
Love Lives On
Those we love
Are never really lost to us –
We feel them
In so many special ways-
Through friends
They always cared about
And dreams they left behind,
In beauty that they added to our days...
In words of wisdom we still carry with us
And memories that never will be gone...
Those we love are never really lost to us -
For everywhere their special love lives on.
♥
FOR SATURDAY
If Roses Grow in Heaven
If roses grow in Heaven Lord
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my loved ones arms
and tell them they're from me.
Tell them I love and miss them,
And when they turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for a while.
Because remembering them is easy,
I do it everyday,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.
♥
FOR SUNDAY
Still With Us
Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am a diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there...I DID NOT DIE.

If I could have a lifetime wish,
A dream that would come true,
I'd pray to God with all my heart for
Yesterday and You.

A thousand words can't bring you back;
I know because I've tried.
And neither can a million tears;
I know because I've cried.

You left behind my broke heart
and happy memories too.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

Think of me
When you walk out into the cold wind of winter
When you see a leaf fall to the ground
Think of me
βΰ³α¦♥α¦ΰ³ββ
When you raise your face to the sunshine
When you notice spring flowers all around
Think of me
βΰ³α¦♥α¦ΰ³ββ
For I will always be there with you
I’ll know of your sorrows and pain
βΰ³α¦♥α¦ΰ³ββ
Think of me as your guardian angel
Through days of dark clouds and rain
βΰ³α¦♥α¦ΰ³ββ
Think of me in all that you do
For I’ll always be there to carry you through
βΰ³α¦♥α¦ΰ³ββ
Think of me
I am always there.
Linda Treinen.

You think I've gone far away and life has lost its will,
But look around, I am right here, living with you still,
I watch your tears, I feel your pain, I see the things you do,
I weep as well, each time you cry, my soul it lives with you.
It gives me such joy to hear you laugh, and do the things you do,
And when you smile over bygone days, I smile right there with you,
For we are still one, just you and me, one mind, one soul, one being,
Walking forward into life, though you are only seen,
And in the stillness of the night, when the pain really starts,
Stretch out a little with your mind, and draw me to your heart,
I am always close by your side, you have nothing at all to fear
And my love will always surround you until you join me here.....
