I'm incredibly blessed to have been Mum's daughter. Mum was the kind of person who made everyone feel seen and valued. She had an endless well of compassion, always ready to listen and offer advice with an open heart. She had this incredible way of making me feel safe and loved, no matter what. Mum taught me to be kind, to see the good in others, and to stand strong in the face of challenges. She always had a smile on her face and made everyone laugh with her sense of humour. She was a strong, resilient, compassionate and a funny woman. She taught me the values and importance of family. Her words and examples gave me the strength to carry on, and I am who I am today because of her. Though she's gone, Mum leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and kindness. She touched countless lives and will be remembered as someone who truly loved and lived with all her heart. "Mum, thank you for everything. You were my guiding light, my comfort, and my friend. I will carry you in my heart forever. Until we meet again, I love you."

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed, and forever dear

Don't think of her as gone away, her journeys just begun. Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one. Just think of her as resting from the sorrow and the tears. In a place of warmth and comfort, where there are no days or years. Think how she must be wishing that we could know today. How nothing but our sadness, can really pass away. And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched. For nothing loved is ever lost and she has loved so much. Love and miss you so much mama, until we meet again, love Hayley and johnross xxx
