Mum,
Ups and downs are all part of life, and certainly was with us. You taught me to stand up for myself, never take any nonsense from others and I’ll always love you for it.
Rest easy now, I’ll make sure Paddy and Becky are looked out for as always.
All our love Donna & Matt xxx

My Mum – I considered her to be an Angel amongst Demons.

Sorely missed and forever loved. She endured a very hard life, yet despite having so little herself, she gave me everything she possibly could.

Her love, sacrifices and strength will never be forgotten. I will be eternally grateful for everything she did for me, for the love she showed me and for the person she was.

She may no longer be here, but she will forever live in my heart, my thoughts and my memories.

Rest peacefully, Mum. You deserved so much more than life gave you. ❤️
