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 4 beautiful boys,
Kerr,Charlie,Morgan & Mikey. 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.
Race for Life
Hi Mum,
Well Jane Anne and I are doing the Race for Life 10K on Sunday 28th June to raise money for Cancer Research. Stevanna will be on holiday so she can't do it! Derek got T-shirts made for us with Betty Boo on them saying Go Girl Go. I will make sure and get a photo of us with them on and pop it on here for you. If you can will you join us and keep us motivated through to the end as you know how lazy I can be! Just give me a kick up the butt if you see me slacking.

Love you always Mum xxxxxxxxxxx
Thinking of you.XXX
Next to you
You cannot see or touch me
But I'm standing next to you.
Your tears will only hurt me,
Your sadness makes me blue.
Be brave and show a smiling face
Let not your grief show through.
I love you from a different place,
Yet I'm standing next to you.
Sun Splitting the Rocks
Hi Gorgeous,
Not only did you have the sun splitting the rocks on your B/Day but also on the anniversary of you parting from us (albeit temporary). I think you sense the devastation in an awful lot of hearts since you left us, but guess that all the wee signs you leave Liz, John, Mitchell Stevanna, Josh, Jane, Sean, Kerr, Morgan, Raymond, Emma, Katie, Kenny and most of all your beloved, Ken Pender are your way of keeping in touch. You did promise and as expected you are delivering. Like Elizabeth, Ken has become a very close friend to me and makes me feel very much one of you, which fills me with pride. Not sure if you have met my Dad up there yet. His name is Ron and as you know you both left your loved ones on the same day (albeit different years). I went to him last night to sit by the tree I planted for him where his car left the road. For the second time the tree has withered, which saddens me. You know me, I will not be beaten , so I'm going to get some advice on what I can plant that will endure. Never the less we had a good chat and I found myself rabbiting on about a very important lady in my life.... YOU. Missing the opportunity of just popping in to see you for a wee chat in the garage. Isn't it a strange thing that however stroung the message after loss, we still forget to take the time to smell the flowers on lifes journey... enjoy the moment.
You are always in my thoughts.
Missing you

If I Knew For Certain - by Ingrid Aspey
Life for me is empty now
since the day you died
I wish that I could take a flight
to be there by your side
Although the sun is shining
it brings no joy to me
The days all seem so lonely
and I think will forever be
My memories sustain me,
I'm living in the past
I keep reliving again the day
when I saw you last
I know I have to make the best
of the life that I have left
But it's difficult to do
when I'm feeling so bereft
I don't know how to shake
this never ending grief
I so envy all the friends of mine
who have a strong belief
If I knew for certain
I would see you again
I think I'd bear more easily
this heartache and this pain.

Special Angel Day - by Sam & Gordon Winson
We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.
If tears would make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
Today
1 Year ago today was the worst day of my life. As a child I grew up happy knowing that no matter what you would always be there and you where until that dreadful day. Through thick and thin you would be there for me. You even travelled alone from Scotland over to Canada to spend my 21st with me as you couldn’t bear to think of me spending my birthday without you. Dad couldn’t come as he had to keep the business going so you jumped on a plane for the first time ever without Dad and came to be with me. I never ever dreamt that one day you would be gone. When we found out that the Cancer couldn’t be cured and there was nothing they could do, my whole life fell apart. For the first time ever I had to contemplate a life without you. I can’t tell you how difficult this last year has been for me knowing that I will never be able to sit and talk to you holding your hand looking into your beautiful eyes kills me. Life wasn’t perfect; we had our ups and downs, but to me that was perfection as it was real. We said what we had to say to help clear up and issues and moved on supporting and loving one and other every step of the way. Some days I wake up and I just feel like screaming, I just don’t want to face the world without you. It hurts so much when I get up knowing that that day and every other day is going to be a day spent without you. If only I could turn back time! You gave me life, you gave me strength, but most of all you gave me the most amazing mother and best friend and for that I will be eternally grateful. Look over me Mum and help me cope today as I could easily slip over the edge, today more than ever!
I adore you xxxxxxx

Hi grandma happy birthday for yesterday i hope you got your mars bar me and jane left for you. I ate the other half as i know you wouldnt have wanted a whole one lol tried to get you one of your flavoured waters as well but couldnt find one anywhere. anyway. I cant believe its been a year already. Its went so fast. This last year has been extremely tough for me, losing you, stresses about money and college and just everyday life. I know just how strong a person you are grandma and hope that i can keep growing stronger day by day. Mum is so strong its unbeleivable she must get that from you. If i can be as strong as you's two i will be able to cope with anything that comes my way. When you left us 1 year ago you left behing huge wholes is peoples hearts, but you also left us with many fond memories and treasured times that will stay with us forever. I will never forget some of the laughs we shared at the caravan or at brunton. Or even the times you told me off (not that many as i was an agel child :) lol) I would give anything to just sit with you for a final 5 minutes. Visiting you everyday while your illness took over and your health deteriorated was painfull to watch, but at least i could still come and see you. Not being able to see you tears me apart i love u so much and miss u more each day you are an exceptional person and i am so proud to call you my grandma. Look after my mum and grandad for me they need your help to get through today. i love you xxxxxx
