What CAN you say about your Mum? She was THE BEST Mum in the world, and she is loved and missed very
much. She had a Wicked sense of humour, and brought us all up on mad Dover sayings. Like, if we
asked, 'What's for dinner mum?' The reply was 'Pump Handles Stewed' or even 'Pigs' Ears in Custard.'
But for all the kidding, she was a smashing cook. And if we asked 'Where you going Mum?' she said
'There and back to see how far it is'.
Mum died just a week after her 77th birthday, and the day before mine. She was diagnosed with cancer
in 1994, and went through surgery in 1995, but she never really recovered from it. I moved in with
her, and stayed for about a year looking after her, but the cancer returned and she was admitted to
Law Hospital, where she died, just 2 days after Christmas 1996. During her illness, she put up a
brave front, but knew she was leaving us. She hated the hospital, it was her first time in one since
1946 when she had my brother in Motherwell Maternity!
We all love and miss her very much, she was one Amazing Lady, My Duchess.
Mum & dad met and married in Dover, where Mum was born, and dad was stationed at Dover Castle with
The Black Watch at the beginning of WW2. My brother John was born in the same house as mum in
Douglas Road, Dover,
They moved to Wishaw after the war, and set up home in a wee prefab in Wishaw. My brother Joc was
born in M'Well Mat, my sister Ellen and myself were born in the back room of the prefab. Mum broke
her heart when the prefabs were demolished and she had to move to another house, she had tended that
wee house for 24 years, loved it and didn't want to leave it. 2 years after moving, our dad died.
He had taken several strokes, and was bed bound. Mum nursed him day and night until he was taken
into Law Hospital where he died in July 1972.
Mum volunteered to work in the local Oxfam shop, where she made many friends, and was a well liked
and sociable person. She was also a regular at Mecca Bingo, where she joined up with her friends for
a right good blether, and a few more rows of her knitting. Mum was a prolific knitter, she churned
out garment after garment, hardly glancing at the pattern.
Despite her own problems, Mum was always there for us, she was a loving, caring and dedicated mum,
and we all loved her. She taught me, by example, how to be a good mam to my sons, and she loved all
of her grandchildren equally. Mum went to visit my brother in Hereford every June, and my sister
in London every August, they all looked forward to the holidays with her. She was very good to my
sons, Chris & Ziggy, who are also in Heaven with her. 13 months after mum passed away, my youngest
son Ziggy died. Then in April 08, my son Chris was taken from us too, he was murdered. My Mum would
have strung the rats up by their ears for that, she would not let the wind blow on any of her
Weans.
There is nothing and no-one who can ever make up for either one of them, and I hope they are all
together now. (See also GTS sites for Chris Rooney & Ziggy McAllister). They are all loved and
missed so very much, not one day has gone by without a thought of love for them. Not one day ever
will.
R.I.P. Mum, Dad, Ziggy, Chris, Nathan. XXX

MERRY CHRISTMAS ANGEL
A Christmas Wish
How very much you're missed
Isn't easy to explain
For, words never could convey
The sadness and the pain.
Although gone now from this life
You've left memories to treasure
That are the sweetest kind
And will softly stay forever.
At Christmastime especially
You're missed throughout each day
And all those lovely memories
Are with us, here to stay

ALL MY LOVE TO YOU FOR CHRISTMAS FROM CHER XXX
Merry Christmas!
At the ending of the day when I'm weary
After a waterfall of tears have all been cried
And I'm feeling like the skies will always be dreary
Nothing's there to fill the emptiness inside.
I lay my head upon my favorite pillow
Just close my eyes to block all the sorrow
Wonderin' where I'll ever find the strength inside-
To do it all again - tomorrow.
And then I feel it-
inside me.
I feel it-
around me.
Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears-
and held me close to wash away my fears.
It's you, my angel, watching over me.
And I know no matter what tomorrow brings,
You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings-
Your lovin' angel wings.
The sun comes up, it's time to face the day
And I think that things are going to be all right-
But as the day wears on my nerves begin to fray-
I feel the hollowness that creeps in every night.
And like clockwork all the tears begin to fall
As I look at my reflection in the glass-
The eyes looking back at me make me feel small-
And I ask, my God, how long's this going to last?
And then I feel it-
inside me.
I feel it-
around me.
Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears-
and held me close to wash away my fears.
It's you, my angel watching over me.
And I know no matter what tomorrow brings,
You'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings-
Your lovin' angel wings.
Thank God for your angel wings.
All my love this Christmas and New Year. Thank you for all your candles, tributes and pictures this year, you have been a huge support to me and my family. I have met some truly amazing people on GTS, you all have hearts of gold, and have given me hope that there are some utterly selfless, wonderful people in the world. Thank you for everything. Love always. xxxxxxx

CHRISTMAS PRAYER

As we draw to the end of another year,
We think of the ones that we hold so dear;
We pause to give thanks for our friends so true,
And ask God to bless them, the old and new.
We hold up each loved one before His Throne
And ask Him to comfort the ones alone;
For those who have lost someone they hold dear,
We ask Him to strengthen and hold them near.
For those who have prospered, with new joys to savour,
We ask God continues to show them His favour.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
And those with new babies, or newly wed,
We ask Him to smooth out the path ahead;
For those who are ill and can barely stand,
We ask for the touch of His healing hand.
For those with new homes, with new jobs and new stress,
We ask Him to crown all their plans with success.
For those who have dreams and think, 'It's now or never,'
We ask Him to bless all that they should endeavour .
For those who are facing an uphill climb,
We ask Him to carry them through this time.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
As we come to the start of a brand new year,
We pray for the ones that we hold so dear.
We ask that each one will be soundly blest,
To taste of His goodness and know His best;
For angels to watch o'er them day and night,
For miracles, blessings and sheer delight!
We ask for the gifts that the world can't buy:
A glimpse at the wonders of Heaven on high,
Contentment and joy till the Lord comes again,
This we ask for our friends, in His Name, Amen.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas
And a happy new year 2009 love from cher xxxxx

The moment that you died
my heart was torn in two,
one side filled with heartache,
the other died with you.
I often lie awake at night,
when the world is fast asleep,
and take a walk down memory lane,
with tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy,
I do it everyday,
but missing you is heartache
that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart
and there you will remain.
