My Sense of Loss

So after a long battle my sister has passed away.

Taken from her loving friends and family once the pain became too much to bare.

This weekend my tears have gone from stream to flood.

Others who have done more have told me that I have been a rock. If this is so why do I feel I have not done enough?

I will stand up and help my sister's family and try and live my life as she would wish.

She was far better than me when it came with dealing with people. I am sure that she will fill the halls when we say good bye. She will be upset that we cry I hope that she knows why.

I will keep her memory fresh by posting here.

Ricky was a diamond to others .She has been called from us because her work here was finished and she was needed elsewhere to work her magic.Shine on my love like the crazy diamond that you always was.

I knew Ricky through work and we had chemo at roughly the same time. Despite all she was going through (her situation was far more serious than mine)she was a rock of support and inspiration to me. I only hope I returned the favour in some small way.
Yesterday I saw a pair of cheesy christmas earings, went to buy them for Ricky and then cried when I realised...after the tears though came a smile as I remembered the laughter we had last year over the same thing. She will be sadly missed

She will

Erika Jane Crowder, was pronounced dead in the early hours of this morning. She passed at 12:05am, her family were surrounding. She went with great peace. There was no sudden shock before the final breath, and she now rests, free of pain, free of medication. She waited until 12pm so the day of her eldest daughters birthday (November 12th) would not have to be forever remembered as the day of her passing. We're all so very proud of her, we cannot begin to even explain.

The love we have in our hearts for her will then live on through us,

I'm proud to be Erika's son

I love you mom, and I will make you proud. As proud as you have made us.

Mum ..... from the moment you gave birth to me to the moment we said goodbye, you have showered me with love and affection. You have shown me the true meaning of being a moehter and if i can be half the mother you have been to me ..... to my son, it would make me extremley proud. You have been an inspiration to me and I will never forget our conversations cuddles and kisses.

Do you remember the day you become a grandmother? You sent me a message just moments after the birth telling me how proud you were of me and couldnt wait to see us to give me a big cuddle.

Mum you never complained about the pain you were in and words just cant explain what you meant to us, you will be sorely missed.

You devoted your life to your family, I hope I am able to make you proud. The Angels are so lucky to have someone as special as you, I hope they look after you as well as did.

Dad has been so lucky to have spent 30 years with such a vibrant, young devoted wife, mother and grandmother. You can tell you had found your soul partner.

I held your hand to the very end ....... we made sure you were never alone. Love Becky x or as you liked o call me ..... poisoin ivy or Brew!

Thank you for just being you, i think this says it all. x Rest in peace mum & granny x

Message from son in law - Jason

I would like to thank you for welcoming me into your life and your family home. You have treated me as one of your own children, helping me through hard times and good times and if it wasnt for you I would not have such a beautiful wife and lovely son, Brandon. I know that if he could speak now he would tell you how much he loved the time you spent together from the moment you held him in your arms. Be in peace now, no more pain x
