Valerie Swift
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.

Tributes For This Week Starting 19th October

♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥

FOR MONDAY

Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.

FOR TUESDAY

Your life was a blessing
Your memory a treasure...
You are loved beyond words
And missed beyond measure...

FOR WEDNESDAY

We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
As time goes by we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.

FOR THURSDAY

Looking back with memories,
Upon the path you trod,
We bless the hours we had with you,
And leave the rest with God.


FOR FRIDAY

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 turn to smile
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for awhile

Because remembering them is easy,
I do it every day
But there's an ache within my heart
Because I am missing them today...



FOR SATURDAY

I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS

As you hold me close in memory,
Even though we are apart,
My spirit will live on,
There within your heart .
I am with you always.

When you lean on trusted friends
And their caring hugs enfold you,
Within their loving arms,
I'll be there to hold you.
I am with you always.

And beyond the far horizon
When we'll finally be together,
Where love will be eternal
And life will last forever.
I am with you always.


FOR SUNDAY

TRUE LOVE

You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...

For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!

However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, sweet angel, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...

Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.

We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.

There is always a face before me,
A voice I would love to hear,
A smile I will always remember,
Of a Mother I loved so dear.
Deep in my heart lies a picture,
More precious than silver or gold,
It's a picture of my Mother,

Whose memory will never grow old.

Precious Gift
� Sherri Lawrence

When times seem too hard to bear & I l feel like giving up
I vision your beautiful face, the twinkle of your eyes and things of such
The bond we created from my womb to the day you were born
Is a mother and child bond that can never be torn
With the strength and guidance of God and the blessings he pours down from above
I want to be the best mom I can be to you and embrace you with all my love
You are as precious as a flower and as gorgeous as a rose
You have been specially made to the very tip of your nose
You are as sweet as honey; such an innocent young child
You are brighter than any star in the sky every time you smile
I want you to be proud of who you are and strive to be the best
Put forth your efforts to achieve your goals and let God do the rest
I will always be your mother first, but I'm also your friend
Your are the most precious gift, that I've ever been given

With All My Love,

Mommy

Anne Ellender Roberts Mum (Daughter) October 15, 2009

My Mother was my special friend,
One person on who I could always depend

She had a really lovely way
Of cheering up the dullest day

She loved me from the start
Cared for me with all her heart

She shared my every dream
Added to my self esteem.

I miss my dearest mother so
Since her time came and she had to go.

Mum I'll love you now, always will
till I join you in Heaven,
Where I'll love you still

My Special Mother Angel

She's always watching over me,
I feel her presence near,
She's always here to listen,
And guide me through my fears.
She's a very special angel,
One God chose just for me,
She was once my Mum here on earth,
But that wasn't long to be.


LOVE & MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH MUM
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jan Martin (Daughter) October 15, 2009

I feel a warmth around me
like your presence is so near,
And I close my eyes to visualize
your face when you were here,
I cherish the times we spent together
and they are locked inside my heart,
For as long as I have those memories
I will have you in my heart.

Mum, what can I say now 3 years have passed without you. Why do people say it gets easier cos it doesn't.
I need you Mum can you let me know you are with me. I will be with you later at your garden so that will be nice. I will be with Dad aswell so don't worry about us ok. Missing you and loving you so so much Mum. xxx

3RD ANGELVERSARYXX

You are In my thoughts Varlerie on
your 3rd Angel day In Paradise.
Gone but never forgotten , love sent to#
you always precious Angelxxxx

Dearest Jan & family
Thinking of you on this difficult day
hope it passes as softly as possible
God bless and love as always


Remembering You

Your time on earth seemed all too brief
because I wanted you in my life forever.
And although I really miss you,
in my heart I know that you are at peace.
Still, countless times throughout the day
I find myself remembering you.
Although I cannot see or hear you,
I know that you are with me.
I'll feel you in the warmth of the summer sun.
I'll see you in the brilliance of autumn leaves.
You'll be beside me in the peacefulness of a gentle snowfall
and rejoice with me at the emergence
of the first flowers of spring.
I'm thankful for the times we shared
and the priceless memories too;
for those memories are a comfort now when I lovingly -
Remember You.
