Whenever we took mum for a drive in Derbyshire she would sing …
Here we go again
happy as can be all good
pals and jolly good company.
‘Come on’ she would say ‘Sing out’ and sing we would, again and again.
Good pals and jolly good company. These were the things that made mum tick. She loved people, especially her family. She loved to hear our stories… and to share them… with everyone.
She was kind and always ready to help. I’m sure all of us here have fond memories of how she came to our rescue when we needed it most. But she was also mischievous, and she often made us laugh. Her ability to get a phrase… just a little bit wrong, made us all smile… “Out of the Blues” and “the man with reclining hair come to mind.”
She made us smile, she made us cry, she made us care about the world and people around us. And people cared for her. I know this by the many beautiful cards I've received from friends around the world, but I would like to mention one in particular, one sent by my friend Maria…
It says…
Loved ones live on
In the words they said,
In the lives they touched and
In the happiness
we feel every time we remember them
we feel every time we remember them
Our amazing mother will be remembered.
She will live on in our hearts and minds forever.
R.I.P Mum.
