The obituary notice of Annie (Nancy) RHODES (Nee Harrison)

Remembrance

Since me Mam passed I’ve reminisced about her so much, as I’m sure we all have.

My earliest memory is of my Mother. I must be about three years old and I’m clinging to her leg like a limpet. We are at the front gate of 101 St John’s Grove and she’s gently stroking my hair while we wait for Steven to come home from school.

I recall that every time I’d make a surprise visit she’d always complain that her hair was a mess or she’d have worn a better top or skirt if she’d known I was coming, and she has nothing in the house special, closely followed by where is Jessie?

I remember her amazement at the size of a jacket potato at a diner in the States that was actually pretty massive, and how she exclaimed that she couldn’t eat it all, and how when I told her I was moving to the States, that I shouldn’t eat all the food on the over filled plates as I’d get fat. I obviously didn’t listen.

Just some brief memories of what a wonderful, warm, funny, and loving woman and Mother she was. Not huge life altering events but beautiful little moments in time.

As the Walker Brothers said,

Another tear falls
And then I know
You are still here in my heart

I love you Mum!

Goodbye Granma
We were so lucky to have you in our lives. It means so much to me that you got to spend time with my children. I know that they will miss you.
We will always remember visiting you at Balfour Lodge and hearing your stories. The girls will miss you reading to them and hearing about when you were a little girl.
I hope you always knew how loved you were.
Thinking of you always.
Love, Jenny, Craig, Chloe & Marcie xxxx

Happy Heavenly 98th birthday Nancy Lovely memories of a special Lady
Love Elaine & family💐xxx

Lovely, smiley Mother, kindhearted, selfless and thoughtful. With a quiet strength that got you through the hardest times.

You were weary, so you had to go. Gone to a place where nothing hurts anymore. A big handbag shop in the sky is your kind of heaven.

Out of sight, but never out of mind. Never out of my heart. You've earned your rest.

Love you Mam
Diane and John x
