My Nanny was an inspirational woman who regularly gave and hardly ever took, even when she was dying she was the one making sure everyone would be ok when she was gone. It may seem silly thinking back on it now remembering her telling us to put the clocks forward and to teach my Pops how to use the washing machine when she'd just been told that she didn't have long to live, but that was the kind of person she was she never put herself first, Her favourite prayer was Footprints and she always told us to remember the last verse..."When you saw only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you..."
She was a loving Wife to John, Mother to Angela and David, Nanny to Stephanie, Elizabeth, Ciaran, Connor, Ashleigh, Logan and Mollie, Best Friend to Hazel and practically a member of the Woollams Family, Sister and Friend...
It breaks my heart to think she will not get to see us grow up, get married and have our own families but deep down I know she is with us always and will be there in spirit at every stage in our lives.
My Nanny's last words to me before she fell asleep were "I Love You So Much" I just hope she knows just how much we all loved her back...The day she died I not only lost my Nanny but I also lost one of my best friends and I know a lot of people feel the same way I do...

Sleep peacefully Nanny, I know I will see you again... x X x
*If you would like to light a candle for my Nanny or write a tribute then that would be lovely and thank you but even if you do not thank you once again for visiting her memorial... x X x*
Stairway To Heaven... x X x
Loving memories woven in gold
for the finest Nanna the world could hold
i'll never try to understand
why it was decided we should part
because when you took my Nanna Lord
you broke her granddaughter's heart
so if I can have one wish Lord
I know what it would be
I'd climb the stairway to Heaven
and bring her home with me
I'd love her and caress her
and tell her I love her so
and i'd put my arms around her
and never let her go... x X x
I Love You... x X x
I sat next to your beside not knowing what to do I held your hand and kissed your forehead and whispered I love you I knew you had to leave me but I begged for you to stay My life has never been the same since the day you slipped away... x X x

GOODNIGHT GOD BLESS MUM
LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH

Thinking Of You...
.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆
I see you in the evening
and the darkness of the night.
You're with me in the morning,
when all the world is bright.
I feel you in a breeze,
like a tender warm embrace;
I feel you when a snowflake
falls softly on my face.
I hear you when it thunders
and the world seems at an end;
I hear you whisper softly,
'One day your heart will mend'.
I hear you in a bird song
the humming of the bees.
Your voice is strong and vibrant
in the waves of stormy seas.
I see, I feel, I hear you,
you're there in all I do,
guiding and protecting,
until my life is through.
.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆
I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.
Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?
We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.
So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.

ONE WISH...
IF I COULD HAVE ONE WISH GRANTED IT WOULD BE NOT ONE FOR MYSELF, NOTHING SELFISH OR ANYTHING FOR MATERIAL GAIN. IT WOULD BE TO BRING YOU BACK HOME, EVEN FOR JUST ONE DAY, FOR ONE LAST HUG, ONE LAST GOODBYE... JUST SO I COULD SEE MY MUM AND MY POPS SMILE AGAIN...
I LOVE YOU... I MISS YOU... I KNOW YOU ARE BY MY SIDE ALWAYS...
LOOK DOWN AT YOUR CHEST AND A LITTLE TO THE LEFT AND REMEMBER THAT IS WHERE I WILL ALWAYS BE...
I LOOK AT THE SKY AND THINK HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS... AND THEN I REALISE IT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE UP THERE...
... UNTIL THEN ...
ALL MY LOVE ALWAYS... Stephanie (Pet Lamb) x X x
