My Mother, My Friend, My Strength
Mum, Words can never express the sorrow I feel , there is a huge piece missing from my heart , the part that makes me whole. Your were so strong, and so brave Mum, you faced things that most of us never will, with such dignity.
You understood me, never judged me, and you were always there for me, to listen quietly.
I think of your strength & endurance now, and I know that when things may get me down, I can call on you, and you will be there, the angel on my shoulder to help me through. Your guidance will be there for all that follow, as their special Angel too. Till we are together again, may you smile
with your love, on us. Every sunny day is a daphne day.
love Kay
My Treasured Mother
Mum,
Your passing has left a huge hole in my life. I don't know how I will get through not seeing you each week and not brushing your hair back from your face.
I will never forget our special times or the love you showed so freely.
You were and will remain the most beautiful of Gods creations.
I will love you and miss you forever.
The world has lost a very special and giving person.
Resting now with loved ones, forever in my heart.

My Darling Mum
Mum, you were a truly amazing woman, you gave of yourself so willingly and with love. You worked so hard and gave up so much to ensure that all of your children never went without.
You taught us all to be strong and capable and never give in to lifes' trials. You never had an easy life, you loved and lost so much, but always remained strong for your family.
I just wish that I had been able to be with you more often through the later part of your life, to be there with you to hold you and comfort you when you needed it, to tell you how much I love you, but distance made that so hard.
I know in my heart that you always knew the love I have for you and sent out to you.
Mum, I love you and miss you so much, I will cry for you forever.
Rest now my Darling Mum
I will love you always
