Many thanks to the wonderful palliative care nurses for your help, care and sympathy. My dearest mother passed away on 5th January. Finally at peace, no more pain, you fought a long, hard battle. Now you are with Dad and your sons, having a cuppa in a beautiful garden, all together. We will miss you and no words can describe the pain we feel, but you can now see, hear and walk with ease amongst the flowers. Thank-you for being my mum. Your loving daughter Vivien. To a wonderful Mum and Nan, We will miss you so much. You were so strong for so long. But it is a comfort to know that you are no longer in pain and having to struggle. The good times, some tough ones, our memories are many and will never fade. You live in our hearts forever. All our love always, Scott, Janine, Teaghan and Shaun.
