.Your Mother, Your Angel

You look back on memories you forgot you had,

And at times you'll smile even though it hurts so bad.



Your mother is a special woman and no one can take her place,

You'll find a piece of mind when you remember he smiling face.



Your mother is an angel now she flies high above the rest,

and in your hearts always and forever she will be the best.



She has earned her wings and it's time for her to fly,

I know it hurts no one is ever ready to say good-bye.



She knows you do not understand and that you cry at night,

But as you finally drift of to sleep let her memory hold you tight.



She will be your guardian angel through the rest of your life,

Helping lead you on the path between what' wrong and right.



your mother loves you so very much and her love will always remain true,

Please don't ever think for a second that your mother will forget you.
I love you mam xxxx

Missing You mam

if I could drink away my pain

To hide away my sorrows

If I could bring you back again

I would do it by tomorrow



If I could travel everywhere

To find out where you’ve gone

Would I even find you there

Or find that I’m alone



If I could grasp you by the hand

To stop your deadly fall

Then maybe I could understand

Why you even died at all



If I could ever have a dream

A wish that would come true

Then it would be that the grass stayed green

And I was there with you



But those times have been and gone

When you were here to stay

And now I’m sad and all alone

Since you passed away



Everyday I feel you near

And not a day goes by

That the memory of a mother so dear

Brings tears to my eyes.



i love you and miss you mam xxx

bettina, 16 February 2011

.YESTERDAY





I wish for one more day



Now that you're gone



To thank you



To see your beautiful face one more minute



To be able to call you mom



Now that you're gone



One more meal



One last car ride



One last see you later



Last night I saw you



Wishing that it was real



Not believing that only in my heart



Is where I can see you



It is so hard to realize



That this is now our reality



But you left us in a good place



Together we are all still



Now that you're gone



You will remain in our hearts



Till the day we are together again

bettina, 16 February 2011

Missing Mama

I awake each morning to start a new day

But the pain of loosing you never goes away.

I go about the things I have to do

And as the hours pass I think again of you.

I want to call you and just hear your voice

Then I remember that I have no choice

For you are not there and now my heart cries

Just to see you again to tell you goodbye

To say Mama I love you and I always will

And hope that much of you, in me you've instilled.

The day that you left I just didn't know

That you were going where I couldn't go.

And now all my memories of you are so dear

But gosh, how I miss you and wish you were here.

Who now can hear me when I need to cry?

It so hard to tell you "Mama goodbye."

Someday I know all will be well

And I'll see you again with stories to tell

Of how you were missed and how we have grown

And how good it is to finally be home.

Until then my memories of you I'll keep near

And I'll pass them on to those who are

Everything Mom


How did you find the energy, Mom
To do all the things you did,
To be teacher, nurse and counselor
To me, when I was a kid.


How did you do it all, Mom,
Be a chauffeur, cook and friend,
Yet find time to be a playmate,
I just can’t comprehend.


I see now it was love, Mom
That made you come whenever I'd call,
Your inexhaustible love, Mom
And I thank you for it all

bettina, 16 February 2011

You listen to my prayers;
You hear my every plea;
I’m safe because I know
You’re always there for me.
love you mam xxx

He Gathers Every Teardrop

Regardless of the circumstance,
Regardless of the ear,
Regardless of the pain we bear,
Regardless of the tear,
Our God is ever in control,
Performing as He should,
And He has promised in His Word
To work things for our good.
But as a loving Father would,
He sometimes lets us cry
To cleanse the hurt out of our heart,
To wash it from our eye.
Yet gently He gathers the tears
Within His hands to stay
Until He turns them into pearls
And gives them back someday.

Precious Mother

I Wish I Could See You One More Time
Come Walking Through My Door
But, I Know That Is Impossible
I Will Hear Your Voice No More
I Know You Can Feel My Tears
And You Don’t Want Me To Cry
Yet, My Heart Is Broken
Because I Can’t Understand Why
Someone So Precious Had To Die
I Pray That God Will Give Me Strength
And Somehow Get Me Through
As I Struggle With This Heartache
That Was Caused By Losing You

In Precious Memory Of (Name)
Who Walked Through Heaven's Gate
(Date)

NANA
If There Are Teddy Bears In Heaven
Will You Send One Just For Me
So I Can Hold It Close To My Heart
Where You Will Always Be
I Will Take It To My Bed Each Night
As The Angels Tuck Me In
I Will Feel Your Love Surround Me
And Know That You Are Holding Me
In Your Arms Once Again
You Always Said “I Was Your Heart”
That Thought Will Help Me Through
I Will Always Remember
My Precious NANA Whose Love Was Honest And True!

another day passed and still cant get you out of my mind mam. it just not the same without you . family are still suffering bad over our loss .
i love you mam and miss you so very much love tina and family

bettina 19 feb 2011, 19 February 2011



to my mother


I don't miss you and you alone, I miss you and me together

**

Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will.

**

There is one pain I often feel, which you will never know. It's caused by the absence of you.

**

I dropped a tear in the ocean. The day you find it is the day I will stop missing you.

**

If you love someone more than anything, then distance only matters to the mind, not to the heart.

**

I miss you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow

**

To My Dearest Family:
Some things I'd like to say
but first of all to let you know
that I arrived okay
I'm writing this from Heaven
to tell you all im fine

bettina 19 feb 2011, 20 February 2011

I AM

I am calm and quiet.
I wonder what is happening.
I hear my nan singing.
I see her at heavens gates, waiting .
I want my grandmother back .
I am calm and quiet .
I love you and miss you nan xxx
I pretend my nan is still here .
I feel her soft hair .
I touch her hair , and drag my fingers through it .
I worry that she gets lonely .
I cry because she is gone .
I am calm and quiet .

I understand that she is gone .
I say its hard to believe .
I dream that she is still here .
I try to understand shes not .
I hope i'll see her again .
I am calm and quiet .
I am your grandaughter

mother

On that eventful day and those memories that existed, you looked so cold so stiff.

I remember my sister crying and the pain she as going thew.

For us to let you move on ,but only if we knew

For me to find my brother in the living room so confused, he just didn't know what to do

From the ambulance ad people running in and out, I was to.

Tears of sorrow and tears of joy

Saddened to find you were gone, he took you just like a toy. I didn't even get to say goodbye.

For your heart to just bust apart, saddened at the fact that were apart.

Being inseparable from you is what kept me going threw and threw.

But I sense a breakdown on the verge, near the end. waiting for the day till we meet again!

I love you dear mother xxx

bettina 20 feb 2011, 21 February 2011

Mum
In my arms i held you tight
Through the hardest part of my life
In my heart the memories clear
Of the greatest mum i love so dear
I held you so close to my heart
Praying that we'll never part
But angels came and took you away
And a tear i shed for your everyday
Now a shining lit up star
My mum will watch from up far
In all the pain I'm going through
Just remember, I'm here with you
and forever never depart xxx

BETTY HAWKESBY… HEALTH
I just want to say thank you for everyone who has taken the time to pray for my mother .
im just amazed at how strangers have opened their hearts to me to pray for her and those that took their precious time to send me a personal note.
Heartfelt thank -you to all.
Also as 1 person who prayed for her reminded me to also thank the lord...
Thank you my Lord for all you do and all the many Blessing you have showered upon us all. I give you thanks and praise you forever. I love you! AMEN."

thanks to all, 21 February 2011

My Rock (My Mom)
Sometimes I catch myself
Thinking, "When I phone,
I can talk of this or that!"
Then remember, I'm alone

She was always there
To answer my calls -
To listen to my "small talk"
Or when I climbed the walls.

At times, I didn't feel like talking
And somehow, she understood -
Didn't say she wished I'd call
Or make me feel like I should.

Now, I wish I would have
More times, to show I cared -
To say, just how important
Were, all those times we shared.

I could have shown my love
So much more than I did -
I never, did it enough
Even when I was a kid.

Now it's too late to do or say
All those things I wish I had -
No way to ease the pain inside
When my heart is sad.

She was my "anchor" to this life -
The "rock", that I clung to -
The place, where I could turn
When, nowhere else would do.
Now, the ravages of time
Have worn my "rock" away -
And all I have to cling to
Are memories of yesterday.

Wonderful Mother
God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He molded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me

Thank You Mom
I know how often I took you for granted
when I was growing up.
I always assumed you'd be there
when I needed you...
and you always were.
But I never really thought about what that meant
till I got older and began to realize
how often your time and energy were devoted to me.
So now, for all the times I didn't say it before,
Thank you, Mom...I love you so very much . you will always be missed in my life mam xxx

our mam




a special mum is hard to find, for that we know is true,
you gave to us undselfishly every single part of you
your winning smile, those sparkling eyes, the way you made us laugh
we know you were so peaceful as you travelled Heaven's path
your memory is our inner strengh, wich lasts a whole life through
God threw away the mould mum, the day that he made you
whenever we are lonely and need your loving hand
we know that you will guide us in life to understand
that each day you'll walk beside us, we will never be alone
the only thing that's changed now mum, is that you are not home
your loving children Rita, Lorraine, Jeannette, Paul, Bettina,
Dean, Michelle and Carl xxx

Will The Circle Be Unbroken
I was standing by my window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away.

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky.

Well, I went back home, home was lonely
For my mother she was gone
And all my family there was cryin'
For out home felt sad and alone.

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky.

Undertaker, undertaker, undertaker
Won't you please drive slow
For that lady you are haulin'
Lord, I hate to see her go.

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky.

There's a better home awaiting
In the sky Lord, in the sky...
And thats where my mother an angel is looking over her kids xxx

Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to You. Allow Your healing hand to heal my sick mother.
Up there in heaven.
Touch her soul with Your compassion for others. Touch her heart with Your courage and infinite love for all. Touch her mind with Your wisdom, that your mouth may always proclaim Your praise. Teach her to reach out to You in need, and help her to lead others to You by your example. Most loving Heart of Jesus, bring me health in body and spirit that she may serve You with all her strength. Touch gently this life that is know with you ..which You have created, now and forever. Amen. I love you mother love Bettina your daughter .xxx

Relationship of Mother and Daughter
You can see it in their eyes,
in tender hugs and long good-byes,
a love that only moms and daughters know.

You can see it in their smiles,
through passing years and changing styles,
a friendship that continually seems to grow.

You can see it in their lives,
the joy each one of them derives,
in just knowing that the other one is there...

To care and to understand,
lend an ear or hold a hand,
and to celebrate the memories they share.

I have filled an ocean with tears.
Salty and bitter, they flow from my soul.
All the grief, all the pain
All the sadness, all the fears.

All the hurt, all the whys.
All the could haves, all the loss.
All the regrets, all the lost chances.
All the wants, all the goodbyes.

I have filled an ocean with tears.
Sweet and soft, they flow from my soul.
All the joy, all the laughter
All the love, all of the years.

All the rewards, all the smiles.
All the triumphs, all the hellos.
All that was right and all that was good.
All the kisses and hugs from my child.

I have filled an ocean with tears.
Salty and bitter, sweet and soft.
For love, for sadness, for joy, for pain.
I have filled an ocean with tears.

I love and miss you mam . carl

carl 22 feb 2011, 22 February 2011

The memories we hold deep within our heart,
can bring us joy, or tear us apart.
They surface when we're lonely, they make us cry,
As we sort through painful memories, of days gone by.
They can cause such sadness and heartache too,
We even wonder at times if we'll make it through.

The memories are our past, we never let them go,
They are also our future to help us grow.
Memories within the heart, always stay,
But given time, the pain, will go away.

Give yourself the time, for when heartache is real
You need to grieve before wounds can heal.
Then you can look back, once in awhile,
And memories will be there to remember with a smile.

They'll bring you comfort, there'll be no more pain,
And your heart will be free....from a person who loved you and all ur family bet . billy

Remembering My Thoughts of You


God sent me an Angel to call my very own,
I thought we'll always be together from this day on.
I remember all the good times
and the awesome times we shared
All the hopes and dreams we had,
nothing in my life could ever compare
I will always remember your sweet Angelic face,
With a smile brighter than the sun light,
with such beauty and grace.
There will always be a place
deep down in my heart,
a special place where only you
will occupy that part.
I remember the way your body felt
as I held you close to me.
In my heart and in my soul
is where you belong and will always be.

I love you and miss you mam..lozy

Star Mother-In-Law


Some mother-in-laws are possessive;
Their child they still want to own.
My mother-in-law’s love was like sunlight;
On both of us it shone.


Some mother-in-laws put you down;
They think you’re not good enough.
My mother-in-law showed approval,
Affection, and other good stuff.


Some mother-in-laws interfere;
They think that they know best.
My mother-in-law let us be;
She was better than the rest.


And so I just want to thank you
For being who you where.
You’ve made everything so easy.
As a mother-in-law, you’where a star!

love you dear betty , you will remain in my heart always. why ? i only have to look at ur daughter bettina and i see you beautiful mother in law xxx steffen

I Know You'll Be Waiting For Us In The Sky

mother, I know that you are at peace,

It helps so much to set our hearts at ease.

We loved you more than anyone could know,

It hurt us so bad to have to let you go

But i know God knows what's best

That's why he put our mum to rest.

We cry and think of you every day

It just doesn't seem fair for God to take you away.

I'm trying to find comfort in all of my grief

And it does help knowing you've found great relief,

For now you are free from all suffering and pain,

So our great loss, became your great gain.

But we know mum, you are safe in God's land above,

Where there is nothing but peace and love.

We know that some day we all have to die,

It makes us so happy,

knowing you'll be waiting for us in the sky.

Jesus Loves You And So Do We

A Poem For Mom

You are the sunlight in my day,
You are the moon I see far away.
You are the tree I lean upon,
You are the one that makes troubles be gone.
You are the one who taught me life,
How not to fight, and what is right.
You are the words inside my song,
You are my love, my life, my mom.
You are the one who cares for me,
You are the eyes that help me see.
You are the one who knows me best,
When it's time to have fun and time to rest.
You are the one who has helped me to dream,
You hear my heart and you hear my screams.
Afraid of life but looking for love,
I'm blessed for God sent you from above.
You are my friend, my heart, and my soul
You are the greatest friend I know.
You are the words inside my song,
You are my love, my life, my Mom.
miss you mam xxx michelle

MOTHER

You were tired, I saw it in your face.
The end was coming at a fast pace.
But, how I wanted you to stay...
In time, I came to understand,
your will was not my command.
Life just became too hard for you.
I didn't want to see.....but I knew..
You had to be where you could fly.
Mom, It's so hard to say good-bye.
You were mine for all those years,
I'll miss you and cry my tears.
But I also know, that's okay..
for we'll be together again some day.
