My Mum was one of the most amazing people in the world, she was better known as Betty Boo to those who knew and loved her. She was so much more than a mother to me, she was my best friend. She loved her family very much, especially my Dad Ken, they would have been married for 50 years come 14th March 2009. She was Mother of 3, Grandmother of 6 and Great Grandmother of 5 beautiful boys, Kerr,Charlie,Morgan, Mikey & baby Frankie. The family will never forget how she tried to make her death as painless as possible for all of us by making us laugh as much as possible despite being in the most excruciating pain. She will live on in all of us! We miss her so very much.
"Remember Me"
(song by Deanna Edwards)
Remember me whenever you see a sunrise,
Remember me whenever you see a star,
Remember me whenever you see a rainbow
Or woods in autumn colors from afar.
Remember me whenever you see the roses
Or seagulls sailing high in a sky of blue.
Remember me whenever you see waves
Shining in the sun.
And remember, I'll be remembering you!
Remember me whenever you see a teardrop,
Or meadows still wet with the morning dew.
Remember me whenever you feel love
Growing in your heart.
And remember, I'll be remembering you
From Me
If you see a sunset, it's me, smiling
From behind it.
If I go away far, and you see a star
If you find it,
I'm inside it.
You can fold it, and hold it forever,
If you hide it.
If our words and worlds sever -- if ever
I lose you;
If two thousand light-years or seven
Confuse you;
Remember me. Here and in Heaven
I'll see you.
I'll be beguiling my filing, still smiling
To see you.
When mountains, magenta and molded
Turn red,
Like you said,
You'll find the feeling you folded
Not dead.
You'll steal the swirling sky, turning
With me.
You won't be bounded, but burning
And free.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT. SORRY I'VE BEEN IN AND OUT. JUST BEEN REALLY BUSY WITH MY KIDS AND FAMILY. BUT YOU AND YOUR ANGEL(S) ARE ALWAYS AND FOREVER WILL BE IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. ALL MY LOVE GLORIA AND MY BEAUTIFUL ANGEL ANTHONY AND MY ANGEL DAD JAIME XOXO
So go and run free
So go and run free with the angels
Dance around the golden clouds
For the lord has chosen you to be with him
And we should feel nothing but proud
Although he has taken you from us
And our pain a lifetime will last
Your memory will never escape us
But make us glad for the time we did have
Your face will always be hidden
Deep inside our hearts
Each precious moment you gave us
Shall never, ever depart
So go and run free with the angels
As they sing so tenderly
And please be sure to tell them
To take good care of you for me

GOD BLESS YOU SWEET ANGEL AND YOUR LOVING FAMILY. ALL MY LOVE GLORIA XOXO

Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett
"Happy Birthday Betty"
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?
Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.
Yes, your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.
The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.
No I can't send a card this year,
Or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful Mother of yours.

When I Get To Heaven
by Emily McAdams
At last I reach my final home
The gates swing open wide
I get a glimpse of glory
I can't wait to get inside.
An angel beckons to me
I hurry up to him
He opens up a golden book
And lets me look within.
I see my name is written
On the page that he turns to
He says you finally made it
I've been waiting here for you.
He points in one direction
And tells me "go that way"
So I start my tour of heaven
The place I get to stay.
I see the many mansions
And walk the streets of gold
And hear the angels praising God
Just like I had been told.
And then I spot my loved ones
They've been here many years
We hug and kiss each other
All smiles, there are no tears.
I look around for Jesus
I know He'll soon appear
I want to kneel and praise Him
He's the reason I am here.
He took upon Himself my sins
He paid the price for me
And by His victory over death
He finally set me free.
Free from all my worldly sins
And the evil Satan sent
Jesus came into my heart
Because I did repent.
I'll finally get to thank Him
When I bow before His throne
For all the times He carried me
When I couldn't walk alone.
I'll dwell with Him in heaven
With no sorrow, tears or pain
This was His promise to me
When to this earth He came.
There are many mansions up here
There's room for all of you
So to join us all in heaven
I'll tell you what to do.
Accept Jesus as your Savior
He will wash your sins away
He's waiting here to greet you
When you join us here one day.
ALL MY LOVE SWEET ANGEL. SHINE BRIGHT DOWN ON YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. WE MISS YOU DOWN HERE. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT, LOVE ALWAYS GLORIA XOXO
A Thousand Tears
by Marissa Elizabeth Martin
I've cried a thousand tears for you,
Felt a thousand pains.
Screamed a thousand words for you,
Died a thousand days.
Now I'm empty and black like a hole.
Nothing's in use, I have nothing to control.
Where my heart once was, is where the hole stays.
With the pieces left in it,
you dropped them in the maze.
Except for a single piece,
The only piece I ever knew.
The piece I can't let go of,
The small piece of you.
I hold it tight but it's fading, and wearing away fast.
I have to keep a tight hold of it, I need you to last.
But I know eventually this piece of you,
Will fall from me for days.
Then the piece I held onto so tight,
Will too be lost in the maze.
ALL MY LOVE XOXO
A Face In The Clouds:
I looked towards the clouds today
and for a moment saw your face
And wondered just were you have gone
with a hope it's a better place
Did you show yourself to me today
to tell me you're alright?
Or was it just a daydream
playing tricks upon my sight
Then I thought of when you left
you did not say a word
No hugs and kisses..
no good-bye was heard
You have changed our lives forever
Your time here not in vain
and hope you know we always tried
to keep you safe from pain
We will always feel the void inside
because you are not here
But each new thought you send our way
let's us know you're always near
So until our journey nears it's end
And we hear the angels sing
We'll face each new day as it comes
and live off the love you bring
*****************************************************************
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR KEEPING ANTHONY AND MY DAD JAIME IN THE LIGHT. ITS BEEN REALLY HARD ON ME LATELY. ALOT HAS HAPPEN. MY COMPUTER AND LAPTOP WERE COMPLETELY ERASED LOST ALL MY POEMS AND ALL MY FAVORITES.
I ALSO HAD TO GO TO A FUNERAL THAT BROUGHT BACK ALOT OF PAINFUL MEMORIES. MY SONS' FRIEND PASSED AWAY. SHE WAS ONLY 25 AND JUST GOT MARRIED LESS THEN 6 MONTHS AGO. HER NAME WAS SHARON LETRO AKA NIKKI AND PASS AWAY IN A CAR ACCIDENT. BROKE MY HEART. RIP NIKKI.
I HAVE THOUGHT OF YOU AND YOUR ANGELS WHILE I WAS AWAY. I TRIED MANY TIMES TO COME ON BUT WOULD JUST LOSE IT. I KNOW I AM VERY DEPRESSED AND TRYING TO FIND MY WAY BACK.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTES, CANDLES, PICTURES, GIFTS AND LOVELY MESSAGES THAT YOU LEFT FOR ME. IT WILL TAKE ME A LITTLE WHILE TO READ THEM ALL AND RE ADD ALL TO MY FAVORITES.
PLEASE KNOW YOU AND YOUR ANGEL(S) ARE ALWAYS IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. ALL MY LOVE GLORIA XOXO
I AM TRUELY SORRY IF A MISSED ANY SPECIAL DAYS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL XOXO
My Mum My Friend
Mum I miss you more than words can ever express. Day in and day out I feel part of me is dead, nothing and no one can make that feeling go. I have tried to talk to people about how I feel but I need to acknowledge the fact that you are gone and although I say the words they just don't seem to penetrate and I just can't accept. I find myself opening my bedroom curtains of a morning and looking directly into your face as your photo looks back at me. For a split second I think "I wonder when I'll see Mum?". For me to still think and feel that way, it is clear that I have not accepted your death! Why? because it would be too painful and I would risk loosing my own life? Who knows, but one thing I do know is that I will never feel whole again. I love you more every day and I just don't know how to let go.
Forever your baby girl xx Elizabeth xx

If We Could Bring You Back Again
If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.
By Joanna Fuchs
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT. IT MEAN SO MUCH TO ME. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL ANGEL(S). ALL MY LOVE GLORIA XOXO
