It’s hard to express how I feel at this point in time but here goes - Mum was the glue that bonded our family together, she shared our achievements and helped us develop into the people we are today. She adored her grandchildren, and with dad met her four great grandchildren. Mum would go out of her way to help family, friends and neighbours- her quiet words and guidance will be missed. During this last few years Mum has endured the challenge of dealing with dementia with good grace, never complaining. We will all miss her smiles and presence, she will hold a special place in our hearts.
