My beautiful mum - I love you so much and I am absolutely heartbroken that you are no longer here with me in person, although I know that you will always be with me forever in heart and in spirit.

You were such an amazing woman - so beautiful, so kind, so caring, so loving, so gentle and so very selfless.  You always went out of your way to help other people and to be there for everyone.

You were deeply loved and respected by everyone that knew you.  You had a heart of gold and a beautiful smile that would light up your face and your eyes would sparkle too.  The only thing that was not visible was your halo, but I know that we all knew what an Angel you were. 

You so made me laugh too!  You always felt so cold so the temperature in your house would be set so high that I would literally melt coming through the doorway and yet you would be sitting there in fleece nightwear or layers of jumpers and with a thermal underneath all that clothing!!!  I would literally have to wear layers when coming to see you, so that I could peel them all off one by one!

I remember all our fun holidays together too, although you definitely managed to see more of the world than I did!  You absolutely loved to travel and to explore new countries and learn about their cultures and their people.  Your collection of photo albums speaks volumes!  I do not believe that anyone else has that many albums and that many photos!

I pray that your soul will now find eternal peace and I thank God that you are no longer in pain or suffering.  I know you fought so bravely until the bitter end and I thank God that He let Kaush and I be with you until your last breath.

Rest in eternal peace my beautiful mum.   

I love you with all my heart..... until we meet again xxx
