Suddenly, But after Many Many years worth of health troubles, My very
dear Nanny peacefully passed away one cold September night in2006,
Wow Nanny did our lives get turned upsidedown that night, you'd been so very happy, the final 9months of your life in The old Vicarage Nursing home (Burtonwood) Everyone loved you, the staff though you were the light of their days...and you were, with your cheeky smile, your loveing ways and the love you had for your family. ...most of all, your love for Manchester United Football club-Especially Sir Alex himself!!
To be truthfull, part of you died 10th February 1994, when our dear grandad (or Eddie as we called him---he was FAR to young to be a grandad) sadley passed away of heart and renal problems.
Often in your bungalow, you'd sit looking at his picture and talkin to him..tell him you were gonna "plotch him" for leaving you. It broke EVERYONES hard to lose him Nanny- Especially yours, yes.that day we lost him, we very definately also lost part of you. you ached so badley for him..12 long years you waited for him to come for you, and when he did, Nanny it utterly devistated all of us, we miss you so much it hurts...miss you both like crazy...
Crazy, That was Eddies song, see, this eulogy isnt just for you, hope you dont mind, infact...im certain you wont mind..This is for you both, a united site for 2 very united people. united in life, united in death...and yeah..united in football!!!
You was always called "our baby".. coz you always seemed so fragile...all 4ft 11inches worth of you..fragile, maybe..fiesty..oh yes...im sat here writing this in tears but with a smile on my face...got an image of you in my head waving your fist saying "im gonna plotch you lady!!" you never would of course...but it definately was one of your favorite catchphrases!!!
You know what Nanny...Im sat here with so much to say...but no words to say them with...I want to share so many memories..but the selfish part of me want to keep them just for me...special little things..christmases birthdays...the first time you set eyes on my son...you was so scared of holding him, it was sweet..we had to ballence him on your lap...those pictures i have, i'll treasure til my dying day. I often look at them..its so hard to see your smiling face, but not be able to touch your soft skin, or sit and hold your hand...The last picture i have of you is from kaydens christening..you couldnt have come to the actual party...so we brought the party to you..and boy nanny, you look SO proud, so very very proud a nd very very happy, i look at the pictures and smile through tears, its so raw, not a day goes by I dont think of you...not a single day.
Tomorrow is yours and Eddies wedding anniversary..im sure up in heaven you'll all be taking a coach trip to somewhere nice...our thoughts will be with you all the way...
Sunday is your birthday, your first away from home. How i wish i could come sit with you and watch you open your cards and gifts, but no, we'll visit you in your resting place and we'll sit awhile in the watery spring light, and we'll think of you, we'll think of memories made and times past.
You being gone hurts so much. Im so proud you got to see my baby, you loved him so much.."that little baby" , he's gonna grow up knowing you both nanny, he's gonna grow up knowing what a big part of everyones life you were
I hope your at rest now Nanny, hope you met Eddie, and little Jimmy(boy will you be mad at us for that one!!!)Harry and May. your much loved and missed parents..and everyone else your sat up there with, having a little drink...hopefully finishing off everyone elses!!!
We love you so much. Both of you..stay with us, your only ever a thought away
Love you all the world...
Your loving cherished Family x x x x x
4 long years that seem to have flown by. Miss you so much, you left an unfillable hole in our family . It hurts so much you never got to meet my baby girl, never got to see kayden grow into the beautiful little boy he is. Hurts that you met him but he'll never remember you.
We talk about you and eddie to them, take them to the 'flower garden' show them pictures...I want them to know you and to know what a massive part of our life you were to us all.
i see so much of you in my little girl, he little habits, her little sayings...proves that you live on through those that love you so much
miss you like crazy til the day i die
love you to the moon and back
xxxxxxx
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not here to see.
If the sun should rise and find your
eyes filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
the way you did today.
While thinking of the many things
we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you.
And each time you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me, too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand.
That Jesus came and called my name
And took me by the hand.
And said my place was ready
in heaven far above.
And that I’d have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart.
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here in your heart.
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free!
I follow the plan God laid for me.
I saw His face, I heard His call,
I took His hand and left it all...
I could not stay another day,
To love, to laugh, to work or play;
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
And if my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss...
Ah yes, these things I, too, shall miss.
My life's been full, I've savoured much:
Good times, good friends, a loved-one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief—
Don't shorten yours with undue grief.
Be not burdened with tears of sorrow,
Enjoy the sunshine of the morrow.
missing you more and more every day. You left gaps that can never be filled and memories that will never die.
all my love til the day that I see you both in heaven

pennies from heaven
pennies from heaven
Found a penny today
laying on the ground
but its not just a penny
this little coin I found
Pennies come from heaven
that's what I was always told
They say angels toss them down
oh, how I love this story
They say when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down
sometimes just to cheer you up
To make a smile out of a frown
So, don't pass by that penny
When you're feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
Thats been tossed to you
