Mummy the big holiday season is here shopping cooking and getting together but you are missed. I kept thinking about the old days when you use to bake and make the sorrel. Wayne and I would enjoy licking out the mixing bowl, oh lord the bowl did not need washing when we were done, those were good days. We miss you badly but we trust God that you are resting in his kingdom. Love and miss you.

Took me a while this time to come on your page Mummy. Thought time would have made it easier but I was wrong. Two years have gone but your passing is still so vivid. It's almost as if it happened all over again this year. We really miss you back hear. It will never be the same again. It's an unending void with NO FILL IN SIGHT :) Anyway I do PRAY for you CONTINUED REST and hope to see you again one day. I miss you but have let you go so that you can have the ETERNAL REST that you SO DESERVE. Love you Mummy. Joan
