for a number of years, but you are one of the people that will always remain very clear in my memories and fond in my heart.

You were the mother of one of my oldest and dearest friends, and you were also a mother to us whenever we came into your home. You welcomed us, gisted with us and we had laughs. Your lovign nature came out very strongly whenever I encountered you and the way you used to recognise me whenever we bumped into each other somewhere else.

I am a big believer in the measure of certain types of people being the mood of the people that surrounded them. Your home was always full and those that filled it were relaxed and of good cheer. You have gone on to that great journey that we all must face one day, your legacy lives on however in the hearts of all those you showed hospitality, care, attention and love.

We will miss you ma.

Rest easy.
