Mum, can't believe it's 5 years today since we lost you. So much has happened and yet it seems like only yesterday that we had our last hugs and kisses with you. Still so hard without you. Wish so desperately that you were still here with us.

Will always miss you, always love you and never forget you.

Thanks for being my Mum and Alex's wonderful Gran.

All our love always, Julie and Alex xxxxxx

Dear Mum

Still think about you every day, miss you more than words can say. Your 73rd birthday passed recently. We would have had great weather for your birthday barbeque. It's hard not being able to celebrate with you as each year passes.

Love you so much, always, Julie xxxx

Mum, I still think about you every day and so many times I wish I could share things with you that happen in my life, Alex's antics and achievements and the amazing progress he's making in coping with his condition, our plans, hopes and dreams. I miss being able to talk to you, sit with you and mull things over. I miss your guidance and wisdom - it's hard working things out on my own, when everything feels so complicated and confusing. I wish you were still here with us. We all miss you so much. Love you always Mum. xxxxxx

Dear Mum

It's almost Christmas 2010. There's snow on the ground and it's really cold, but the happy memories of times spent with you, from my early childhood right through to the last time we were together, keep me warm inside and I am glad for all the wonderful times we had together, the jokes we shared, the miles we covered on our shopping sprees on Saturdays! Good times. These memories will stay with me forever. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend and Mum, and such a loving Gran to Alex. Still missing you every day.

All my love, Julie xxxx

Mum, 4 years tomorrow since you left us. So much has changed but some things stay the same. We still love you, think of you every day and miss you terribly. You will always be in our hearts and we will never stop loving you. Our memories of you will always burn bright. All our love always, from Julie, David and Alex xxxxxx
