Forever in our hearts....
Annie ......
Met her husband Dougie as a result of a penpal friendship and when he came home after the war from
his spell in India serving in the famous Chindits regiment, they married and lived for a short time
in Leicester.That was where their Daughter Carole was born.
Annie was well known throughout her life in one way or another for her cooking...her burnt buns were
famous throughout the NAFFI where she was based.
In later life her family marvelled at the stew and rice pudding she made for them.Indeed one of the
most marvelous things was that each ingredient in the stews were cut and diced to exactly the same
size ...taking her three days to make it!
Annie was a mender in the textile trade and up until her eyesight worsening only a few years
ago..she did in fact carry on with her mending! Her daughter and family used to despair at all the
unworn presents in her wardrobe.....as Annie insisted in setting to a darning old favorite clothes!
Her Grandchildren Lee and Kay...loved staying over on a weekend and enjoyed the treats of steak
canadian sandwiches and the ritual of finding the two chocolate curly wurlies in the sideboard.Then
waking up to her mouthwatering bacon and tomatoes for breakfast.
Annie was only small and was known as "Little Annie"One of the things that made her laugh was when
her Ten year old Great grandaughter Abigail stood at the side of her and measured herself....and
little by little Abigail reached past Annies height!
Annie was over the moon when Lee and Julie decided to give Thomas the name Radford...as this was
also her late husbands middle name.
Annie was a genourous...caring a giving lady and loved to please others with her gifts.
Her Grandson Lee kept her supplied with chocolates and her grandaughter bathed and pampered her when
she became unable to do this herself.
Her daughter Carole who was a only child cared deeply for her mum and helped her stay in her own
home which is what Annie wanted....she cleaned...cooked and shopped for her enabling her to keep her
independance.
Annie never really thought as Carole being a only child as she thought of her son in law Peter as a
son....nothing was aver too much for Him ...he helped with all Annies paper work phonecalls...Annie
loved all her family dearly as they did with her.
Annie was loved so much by her family and will be missed greatly.
To a special Grandma............
Love and miss you so much xxxxxxx

ღ♥ Memories of The Heart ♥ღ♥
♥ღ♥ Feel no guilt in laughter
She knows how much you care
Feel no sorrow in a smile
That she's not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever
She would not want you to
She'd hope that you would carry on
The way you always do.
So talk about the good times
And the ways you showed you cared
The days you spent together
All the happiness you shared.
Let the memories surround you
A word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture
A time, an hour, a day.
That brings her back as clearly
As though she were still here
And fills you with the feelings
That she is always near
For if you keep those memories
You will never be apart
And she will live forever
Locked safe within your heart ♥ღ♥

FOR THOSE I HAVE LEFT BEHIND
I have not gone far...I still see...
Those tears you shed...are for me...
I am not unhappy...I am not sad...
I just thank God...For all we had...
I did not choose...To go away...
But God told me...I couldn't stay...
He reached for me...with loving care...
Come with me child...If you dare...
Reach out your arms...to those below...
Blow them a kiss...So they will know...
Let the breeze of your kiss... Pass across their brow...
Let them know you are safe...and happy now...
Now dry your eyes...And remember me...
For where I am...Was meant to be...
To you that I have left behind...
The love we've shared...Will always bind...
If a breeze should pass...Across your brow...
Remember from where it came...And how...
Until we meet again one day...
I've not gone far... I am just away..
Original Poem By: Joanne T. Romano (2001)
If We Could Bring You Back Again
If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.
By Joanna Fuchs

� Alan Pemberton
Through veils of peace may you ascend
To promised planes above
Where comfort shall await you
In those summerlands of love.
Although my grief is deep and raw
Although my pain is great
I know that you are still with me
I know that you will wait.
For in God's time we'll meet again
Of this I am quite sure
I loved you so much on this earth
In absence even more.
Sending love and hugs to you Kay xxx
