Maureen Parkinson - the heart of our world - sadly passed away in January 2005 aged 66. Loving wife to George, Sister to Von, Mum to Lesley and Tracey, Nan to Emma, Lisa, Kirstie, Sarah, Alan and Mark, Auntie to Samantha (great aunt to Ellie whom she did not get to meet) and Great Nan to Naomi and (whom she also did not get to meet) Kyle and Alisha. Sister - in - law to Peter, Mother - in - law to Alan and Phil, Auntie - in - law to Adam and Nan - in - law to Andy. A cruel illness took this amazing woman from us. Maureen, my Nan could light up a room by just walking into it. She was so full of life and lived for us, her family. She lives on in all of us - we are what we are today because of this special woman.
Our mum was an amazing lady, full of life and always on the go. Mum never thought about herself and was always helping other people, especially her family whom she loved so much. She was so energetic and ran rings around the younger members of her family. She was known and loved by many people and always made new friends wherever she went.
In that terrible month of September 2004 we were told that mum had an illness which was to end our world as we knew it. Mum fought the illness so bravely and without ever complaining, often in pain and discomfort, but still she managed to be the life and soul as always.
On 28th January 2005 with all her family by her side she said her last good-byes.
Mum, life will never be the same again, you were so cruelly taken from us when you still had so much to live for. Not a day goes by when we don't think of you.
We love and miss you so much and always will.
Lesley and Tracey

The sun came up this morning;
It wasn't very bright.
My dark mood casts a shadow;
It's hard to see the light.
We all have just one mother
And, now that her life on earth is done,
The emptiness and loss I feel
Make it hard to see the sun.
Tomorrow is a brand new day;
May the pain and sadness lighten.
I will remember all her love,
And then the sky will brighten.
Gone is not forgotten;
Her love remains behind;
She's travelled in a new direction -
Love knows no space or time.
I will always love her.
She will care for me from above.
She will send me starlight and rainbows
To remind me of her love.
To Mum
As time picks up the pieces
Of my broken spirit of yesterday
The wounds that left me broken
Will never completely go away
My heart will always carry your shadow
A reminder of when you shone so bright
Even though time eases painful memories
There is still a darkness that shadows the light
The emptiness still lingers
The hole in my heart will never fully heal
It still pains my soul in missing you
The part of me ~ that is you ~ I will always feel
As I float in the memory of your laughter
And hear the angels whisper softly your name
I will cherish your soul from now until forever
Close to my heart with me, you will remain
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without affect,
without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you,
for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just around the corner.
All is well.
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.

because I am out of sight?

for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just around the corner.
All is well.
Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break,
but all in vain.
To have, to love, and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of one's heart.
The years may wipe out many things
But some they wipe out never.
Like memories of those happy times
When we were all together.
Never think you are on your own
I`d never let you walk alone
When you`re down and want to cry
Let it out, let your tears run dry,
I watch and guide you everyday
So that you can find your way
And when you`re down and in despair
Just call my name and i`ll be there,
Right by your side through good and bad
But you need never feel sad,
Until it`s time for your journey home
Just remember you`re not on your own
We`ll meet again sometime soon
And we`ll be together, like the stars and moon
love as always Alison ; Joey and Lindsay;s mum

I lost my nan
To the horrible cancer
It was such a sad time
We were so close and i always loved her.
I have so many great memories
That i will never forget
She always remembered my birthday
And had the best sence of humor you would ever get.
She still stayed strong and knowing
She knew what was going to happen to her
But she always kept smiling.
I think she was more worried about us than herself
She was always the kinder
But to me she didn't loom sick at all
And thats what made it harder.
She will always be with us
In our hearts
I will never forget her
We will never be spiritlly apart.
Love you loads Nan
