15th October, 2006
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.

TRIBUTE FOR THURSDAY 5.11.09
..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..

The size of sadness
Can you measure our pain?
It reaches the stars and back again
Can you count our tears?
They are as many as winter rain
Can you weigh our emptiness?
The world and more would come to less
With no hope of sun tomorrow
That's how we see our sorrow
Add all together -The size of sadness


..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..

TRIBUTE FOR FRIDAY 6.11.09.

..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..

Having you not with me
Hurts more and more each day
Although I feel a closeness
In a very special way
Even as I go to sleep
Every thought is of you
And I never thought i'd miss you
In quite the way I do
So i'm hoping that these words
May some how let you know
That you're in my heart forever
And i'll always love you so
The one and only thing
That helps me with the pain
Is dreaming of the time
When I will see you once again...

..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..
TRIBUTE FOR SATURDAY 07.1109
..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..
My love is with you
Oh What can I say?
My heart is empty without you each and every day.
The Angel wings you wear must be so grand,
if only I could reach out and touch your hand,
maybe then we could say goodbye,
which would help dry the tears that I cry
Now I know that’s impossible for us to do,
so let’s make a deal just you and me.
When I look to the stars at night,
you look for me with all your might,
when you see me just shine real bright,
together we can send our love
and say Good Night.

I would like to wish you all a very good weekend and God Bless all our Angels and all our BRAVE HERO'S who have Lost Their Lives.
With love as always Linda.xxx

HANDS OF HOPE

Hands Of Hope
by John Leroy Maxwell

We live in a world, where uncertainty reigns in almost everyone's life.
Everyday plans that used to be sure, are now filled with doubt and strife.
Some people go on with their lives, with an attitude hard and bold.
So many others seek comfort and hope, and need a strong hand to hold.
We're apt to wander aimlessly, when there is no one to guide.
If you see your fellow man, traveling in this world so wide.
Open your hands of compassion, and spread new seeds of pride.
So release the light of all that is good.
Let it filter thru the lands.
Let others know that what they feel, comes lovingly from Open Hands. xxx

Over the rainbow, beyond the stars
In that beautiful garden above

❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤

Surrounded by loved ones, who went on before
Now at peace in God's perfect love

❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤

I know you'll be waiting, till my work is done
For there's more here on earth I must do

❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤~❤

There's comfort in knowing when God calls my name
I'll cross over the rainbow .. to you

For our angels with love xxxx

Thank you for the
years we shared
The love you gave
The way you cared.

Tha gates of memories
never close,
We miss you more
than anyone knows.

A million words
could never express
my love, my sorrow
my empitiness.

But deep in my heart
Your memory is kept
I love you too dearly
too ever forget.

Tributes For Week Starting 2nd November

FOR MONDAY

There's a special kind of feeling,
That's meant for you alone,
A special place within our hearts,
That only you can own.

FOR TUESDAY

If only prayers were answered,
& wishes did come true,
Our only wishes with all our hearts,
Would be to still have you

FOR WEDNESDAY

We send this special message
To the heavens up above
Please take care of our precious angels
And give them all our love


FOR THURSDAY

I lit a candle for you today
May it's light reflect my love your way
Now I must go until next time
I will forever keep you, gently on my mind


FOR FRIDAY

Angels

When you were born, an angel smiled,
As you became a child, an angel sat on your shoulder
When you became an adult, an angel held your hand
As you grew old, an angel walked down the road with you,
And, when you died, another angel got their wings.


FOR SATURDAY

Letter From Heaven


To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said,
"I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed
While you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
Remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.


FOR SUNDAY

Reply to "Letter from Heaven"

My Dearest Loved one:

I received your Letter from Heaven,
It made the teardrops fall.
But knowing you’re with God above,
Sweet memories, I will recall.

I know that you are with me,
For I feel your presence near.
And if I listen closely,
Your voice I then can hear.

I know you’re watching o’er me,
As you promised you would do.
And when I feel so saddened,
It’s your letter that sees me through.

When I lay in bed at night,
The day’s chores put to flight,
I truly feel your presence,
Like a warm and glowing light.

The rocky roads you mentioned,
And the hills that I must climb;
I’ve done exactly what you said,
By taking one day at a time.

I’ve tried to help others,
Who are in sorrow and in pain.
And now I am contented,
My day was not in vain.

I’ll lend a hand, as you have said
When someone is feeling low.
I’ll pray for them and be here,
‘Till on their way they go.

And when it’s time for me to go,
To join you in heaven high.
My wings I shall spread wide,
To my home up in the sky.

Marie-Angela Rowe (Friend) Sunday afternoon

Remember me whenever you see a sunrise,
Remember me whenever you see a star,
Remember me whenever you see a rainbow
Or woods in autumn colors from afar.

Remember me whenever you see the roses
Or seagulls sailing high in a sky of blue.
Remember me whenever you see waves
Shining in the sun. And remember,
I'll be remembering you!

Remember me whenever you see a teardrop,
Or meadows still wet with the morning dew.
Remember me whenever you feel love
Growing in your heart.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!
********************************************* takecare my friend, and i hope you have a
peaceful day, with love as Always Joyce xxx
