Dear Mum, Do you remember....... When you used to take me to school and all the children and their parents would come to see you? How it used to annoy me because I used to think, thats my mum! I look back and am still amazed at how many people sort out your kindness and company. It makes total sense now, Never judging, always smiling, how you would give anything to anyone if they needed it regardless of whether it was to your detriment. Coming home from work and casually telling me how you'd pulled a child from a swimming pool when they were struggling in the water, stopping a child from choking on a sequin, helping families escape from domestic abuse, or getting familes food just so they could eat. Taking me on outings all over the place, making me try new things without fear. Making friends with everyone, and anyone on along the way. If you'd told me 20yrs ago I was like you mum, in rebellious teenage ways I would have denied it, but there comes a time when you realise, you are your mum. Suddenly I love the music you love, I steal clothes from your wardrobe, I see the world as you see it, things that really matter become clear. You had more influence on me than you will ever know. You Mum, are a remarkable woman, I don't think I ever told you. You always have been a mum to anyone that ever needed one, a lover of all living things, so kind, so brave, so gentle, so patient, so missed and forver loved. My quiet soft spoken hero, my mum.

In loving memory of Eileen, so kind and true, A soul who touched hearts, through and through. Her love for family, a guiding light, Her kindness shining, day and night. Now laid to rest, beside her kin, With her mother and family, once again. Her presence, now a cherished memory, Her absence, felt deeply, for eternity. Eileen's warmth and love, forever missed, Her gentle spirit, will never be dismissed. Her legacy of kindness, forever remains, In the hearts of those, she forever sustains. Though tears may fall, and sorrow may be deep, Her love and compassion, forever we'll keep. For Eileen, a beautiful soul, now at peace, In our hearts, her love will never cease. Eileen, we thank you, for the love you gave, In our hearts, your memory will forever engrave.

Remember BY CHRISTINA ROSSETTI Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you plann'd: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.
