To my lovely mum. You taught me the importance of family and the memories we shared will last forever. I had 68 years of loving you mum and I miss you each and every day. I miss picking the phone up several times a day for a chat, you were the best of mums. I miss your laughter and your sense of humour, our shopping trips and so much more.
Rest peacefully Mum, with all my love Lorraine xx

Mum, I wish I could have one more of everything with you. One more, hello, I love you, laugh, cuddle, phone call, chat, memory. There are so many things we did that i miss. You always knew what to say and what to do.
I am so proud of you mum you were the best mum and I am so lucky that you were mine. I got to spend 53 years with you loving me unconditionally. And I got to love and adore for those 53 years and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.
My heart is broken Mum, and you have taken a piece of it with you. Hold it close to you Mum and keep it safe until we meet again. I will love you forever and always xxxx
