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

YOUR LIFE
Your life was love and labour, your love for your family true, you did your best for all of us we will always remember you. We did not see you close your eyes, we did not see you die, all we knew that you were gone, without a last goodbye. Your life was one of kindly deeds, sincere and true in heart and mind a helping hand for others needs, wonderful memories left behind. Your life touched so many others and will be remebered forever more, to leave the world a better place, than it had been before. Now your resting place we visit, we place some flowers with care, but no-one knows the heartache when we turn and leave you there.

Today I touched your face again
and watched you for awhile,
I talked of things deep in my heart
and wished I could make you smile.
I rubbed your head and told you,
how proud I am of you,
For all the little things you did
and the way you did each one.
You show such courage daily
and you teach me how to live,
To make each moment count in life
and to give all I can give.
Did I tell you 'You're my hero'
when I saw you yesterday?
Or did it slip my mind
as I gently put you away?
I know your time on earth is done,
but it's how you lived each day,
You made the most of what you had
and always found a way,
To touch the hearts around you,
to love while you may.
I wish with all my heart right now,
the face I touched today,
Wasn't made of paper
or neatly placed away.
But I will put you on the shelf again
for all the world to see,
I'll talk to you tomorrow
just like I do each day.
And I'll tell you 'You're my hero'
as I gently walk away.
Love to you always, and especially now as Christmas is approaching and our loved ones who cannot be with us are constantly in our thoughts.
I'm sorry I have not been on lately, having quite a hard time with money and health problems, and in case I don't get on before Xmas I want to wish all my GTS friends and their angels a very merry Christmas, and here's to the New Year.....may it be all that you wish for and more.
All my love, Mel. xxxxxxx

THERE HAVE BEEN ANGELS IN MY LIFE
There have been angels in my life,
While they haven't arrived with a blast of trumpets,
Or a rustle of wings,
Ive known them just the same,
They performed their acts in human guise,
Sometimes borrowing the faces of family or friends,
Sometimes posing as well meaning strangers,
You have known them too,
When the right word was needed,
When a tiny act of kindness,
Made a great difference,
Or perhaps you heard a voice,
Whispering in the night,
The words not quite clear,
But the meaning unmistakable,
There is hope,
There is hope xxxx
