this the day after my mom passed away. On her death bed , , "Failure to survive." My mother was tired of being ill and dependent on us, she choose to go be with God because she quit eating. Oh, How I begged, and pleaded for her just to take a bite of this or that. I would bring all her favorites trying to entice her to eat. Nothing worked. See, It "WAS" her choice. But, I miss her each and every day. I was bitter for a long time but have learned to accept my mum was tired and needed to rest. by michelle

tina, 24 February 2011
You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
love you mam xxx

Mother, how I miss you
Every waking day
I curse the one who made you
Die and go away.
I miss your warm hands
And I miss the talks we had
I miss the times when words were of no need
And hope my love you'll always see.
I wish I’d had some time to say
How I loved you so
But I never got the chance
Because it was your time to go
I want the memories back
New and happy still
Yet I know how much I cared
I might not feel so sad and scared
My mother how I miss you so
My mother I need you!
I hope you know about my love
Because it's strength is always true.
Dedicated to my mom who I miss dearly!
love from bettina xxxx

Memories Of Mom
it'sbeen over a month now
since you were taken away,
the memories are still strong
and I wish you were here today.
I can't see nor touch you
so I know you're not here
but I've still got the past
and in my heart you're still near.
I used to wake up at night
screaming aloud and calling your name,
I must of needed someone
‘cause of all my hurt and fear.
If I could see you one last time
you know what I would do-
Release all my emotions
and say mom, I LOVE YOU!!!

Wish You Were Here Mom
4. How blessed am I to have been born to such a wonderful Mother. Everything I am, I owe to her. Her strength and wisdom guides me, her zest for life inspires me, her kindness and grace warms me. I have never met another person like her, and know in my heart that I never will - she's one of a kind. I can only wish to have the light that she gives, for she touches all around her with a kindred grace. Im proud to be her daughter and could not have asked for more in a Mother. Thank you for everything Mommy, I love you dearly

Mom its been over a month now since
God and His Angels called you away.
Oh how the Angels rejoiced as you walked
Through those Pearly Gates that day !
Mom when they said you were going to die
I refused to believe it could be true.
How could I allow myself to even
Imagine saying goodbye to you.
Mom you were an Angel here on earth
I learned so very much from you.
You were so gentle and so kind your
Smile would always see me through.
You taught me how to love unconditionally
And how to be my very best in all I do.
You gave your all to God and your family
Never once stopping to think about you.
You were more than a mother you were my
Best friend and a great listener too.
Oh how I miss our special talks, and
All the fun things we used to talk bout on the phone..
Mom I can never say goodbye to you,
Because I could never bear the pain.
Instead I say I love you Mom
Until we meet again.
I love and miss you mam xxx

betty hawkesby was a straight faward women who spoke her mind, i remember her washing all her kids clothes on sunday by hand and ironing uniforms waking up at six morning to make all her kids breakfast. baking cakes on sundays cooking dinner, a sunday must of been a real hard day for her..having so many children to cater for must of been real hard for her.
how my mother ever survived with all of her kids i will never know. she was a wonderful mother with heart of gold.. she took any body/s kids in who had know where to go.did bingos for charity every week for many years to help the old people.. she had a hard life some times with her kids getting into trouble and she always stuck by them know matter what..took us on holliday every year . we always had a beautiful christmas. what more can i say only that my mother was one in a million to her kids.

Letting Go
God saw you getting tired. When a cure was not to be,
He closed his arms around you and whispered, "Come to Me".
miss and love you mama xxx
In tears we saw you sinking. We watched you fade away.
Our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay.
But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully free from pain,
We could not wish you back to suffer so again.
So keep your arms around my mother Lord, and give my mother special care.
Make up for all she suffered and all that seemed unfair
bettina 03/03/2011, 3 March 2011
when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,
He said "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same day
There's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Thought there were times you did some things,
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
And share my life with me?
bettina 03/03/2011, 3 March 2011
Betty, as long as your families hearts beat, you live on. You left such a legacy.
You didnt have an easy life but you had a life that was full of love. You touched so many peoples lives and your funeral was testiment to that. I remember going out with shelly and seeing you sat at the bar giving your order's to any one brave enough to look your way lol, you scared a lot of people, not because you were mean (far from it) it was because noone before or since has ever had such a huge personallity. You had a lot of respect for my dad and my uncle Ted and they for you, but they are just 2 names on a list of hundreds.
You may not of been rich in material things but my god you were one of the richest people i know when it came to friends and love. Sleep well big bett, because my god you earned the rest.; Love Julie xx

MOTHER
My Porch Light
When you get lost
And you're all alone,
Look for my porch light.
You're welcome in my home.
The porch light's always on,
It glows throughout the night.
So if you need a place to rest,
Just look for the light.
My home is not real fancy,
There's no gold on the walls.
But you'll feel God's love
When you walk down the halls.
I'll put some coffee on ,
You can talk or not,
Sometimes we just need to rest
After the battles have been fought.
I'll give you a soft pillow mother
For your weary head.
I'll do my very best
To see that your soul gets fed.
When morning comes,
Before sending you on your way,
mother
You and I will take hands
And together we will pray.
We'll ask God to be your light,
mother
To shine His love on you;
To come into your heart,
To strengthen and renew.
With God by your side mother
I'll know you'll be okay.
I'll open up my door
And send you on your way.
My porch light's always on.....

Nan , Well I Know Your In A Beautiful Place Called Heaven Right Now. Probably Drinking Tea With Elvis. Lol.I Just Want You To Know That U Are Amazing & I Love You!
My Grandmother,
You sit so deeply down within my heart,
the pain you cause me, us being apart.
Your warmth, your kindness, the tenderness care,
it's never to return and that I can't bare.
I'll miss you forever, I'll miss your advice,
your smile and your laughter, simply so nice.
But, I must conclude and I must accept,
that you are gone for ever, but with my endless respect.

I Miss You *
I know it hurt you
It hurt me too,
But now that you're gone
All I know is I miss you
You were there for so long,
I never thought you would leave.
I though you had another year
Waiting up your sleeve.
The day that you left
Was the saddest of my life.
I remember sitting at home
And crying all day and night.
I might be selfish
But I wish you were here.
Or if you stayed
For one more year.
I know you loved me
And I still love you too.
So I'm trying to be strong
Just for you.
I know I'm not perfect.
I know I'll never be.
I just hope you're up there
And that you're proud of me.
You had to let go
Even though you were holding on for so long
But there's not a day I don't think of you,
And how you were so strong.
I just want to tell you
That you're always in my heart.
Even though I still cry
I know we're not apart.
I MISS YOU MAM XXX

Beauty and Grace,
through her expressions of faith.
Comfort and tears,
she helps calm my fears.
Love and Life,
she's always my guide.
There'll never be another,
she's forever my Mother.
daughter michelle x, 5 March 2011
Since the moment I entered this world,
You have cared for me like no other.
There is only one word to describe you,
That is in every way a perfect Mother.
In the years you have watched me grow
So many memories we can now replay.
You've been there to love and protect me,
From my birth to this very day.
When there's a cloud covering my path,
Or a problem I am about to face.
You'll be the one wipe away my tears,
And put everything back in its place.
Your warm touch is one of a kind,
So gentle to send me to sleep.
Your voice is one of an angels,
A beauty only you deserve to keep.
The way you always make me smile
And the way you play with my hair.
When I need to talk, you always put me first,
So I know how much you care.
The sun in you're heart will continue,
To shine in the future in all you do.
The most special person in my life by far,
I'm happy to say that was you

Mother Death Poem
The death of a mother is the hardest to bear for she is the one who is there for us the most. In her life she has shown her daughter,s a path to follow and now she is resting in the God's embrace. Her daughter,s and sons looks forward to the day they will be reunited
Sleep Mommy
Sweet smile on your face as you sleep the pain away,
Resting in God's arms now, although in the ground your body lay.
He needed another angel in the Heavenly choir and that's why you had to go.
As you promised, you are still with us watching your children here below.
I never would have imagined the end would be like this, me comforting you.
Holding your hand, telling you not to worry was not an easy thing for me to do.
And even in your weakest hour you tried to comfort me too,
Caressing my face, and calming my soul as only a mother can soothe.
You have always been there through the thick and the thin
No matter what I've done, unconditionally you love never changed

Though she has passed, she is still there in every shadow, and memory. She will live forever through the living.
I Love You Forever.
To our mom
Mom you mean the world to us
It’s hard to live without you
You were always by our side
Through thick and thin you helped us
Now when you’re gone our life,s is hard to live
It’s hard to breath
It’s hard to see
And it’s hard to think about anything but you.
Even though your love will shine in us
Forever, it’s still hard not to look for your hand to hold.
Even though your not here with us in the
Flesh,we still have you in our heart and in our memories.
We love you forever mom xxx bettina , michelle,lorraine,paul,jeanette,carl,rita, dean xxx

Thank You Mother
Thank you mother- for all that you have done,
You took great care, of your daughters and sons.
You loved us all from the very start,
with your warm, kind, and loving heart.
Thank you mother, for being strong,
While trying to teach us right from wrong.
If anytime, we had a problem,

You'd lift us up, when we were feeling blue,
Thank you mother, for we could always count on you.

MOTHER
You never said you're leaving
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why.
A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place,
That nobody could ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.
Love You
Mom

At times my biggest fan.
Your love you never tried to hide.
Always there with a helping hand.

A Mother
Her hands reach out to comfort when she hears the cry
Her gentle loving touch will wipe the tears all dry
Sacrificing sleep she'll stay up the whole night through
Her child is sick and hurting and tender loving care is due
Many chores completed are waiting again the next day
Her role often taken for granted until she is gone away
A mom is that beautiful lady with a mission from above
Living for her children in the image of God's love
