She lived in broughton from been small until 1998 where she moved to crowle.
Family: she leaves behind her mam Kath her brother Martin and her daughter and a grandson she has
never seen.
My mum and grandma were both in a car accident my grandma pulled through but tragically my mum never
made it.
They were at a garden centre in crowle my mum was putting flowers in the boot of the car when a car
came around the corner it had already lost control and was in a spin, there was now time for my mum
to move and the car slamed into her crushing her between the boot of her car and the other car she
died on inpact.
My gran was found in a hedge she spent 4 months in hospital and because she was in a bad way and she
is still having problems thanks to the accident. she missed her own daugthers funeral and even now
nearly 8 yrs on it still really hurts her knowing she never said goodbye.
The inquest was held in the april they found nothing to sugest that the lad was a fault so he got a
way with it he was that bad when the accient happened that he had to be cut from the car an
transfered to hospital by air.
One of the many Qs is how did it happen?
I have so many that will never be answered.
My tribute to the best mum in the world:
Where do i start she was the most friendliest person you could imagine she was kind, pleasent and
bubbly. Always up for a laugh she enjoyed a drink and lived her life to the full and thats the way
she liked it.
My mum means the world to me i miss her so much it hurts i never stop thinking about her not ever.
She is my world my best friend my life
Hi
Hi Elaine well its nine years today. It seems like only yesterday when Cheryl told me you had been killed. Life its so unfair. Cheryl was only 20 years old and left without a mum. You have a beautiful grandson now. I bet you would have spoilt him rotten. You would be very proud of Cheryl she is a lovely young woman now and looks very much like you. Anyway have a drink for us tonight and look down on Cheryl and Ben. Love always Angela and family. xxx
Tribute Is For This Weekend
Candles Might Not Be Lit Until Monday Next Week It's My Birthday On Saturday So I Will Be Missing Christopher Even More Than Usual... Bless Him X
Grief Is Like A River
My grief is like a river,
I have to let it flow,
But I myself determine
Just where the banks will go.
Some days the current takes me
In waves of guilt and pain,
But there are always quiet pools
Where I can rest again.
I crash on rocks of anger;
My faith seems faint indeed,
But there are other swimmers
Who know that what I need
Are loving hands to hold me
When the waters are too swift,
And someone kind to listen
When I just seem to drift.
Grief's river is a process
Of relinquishing the past.
By swimming in hope's channels,
I'll reach the shore at last.
If I Knew
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
And pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
That I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
And call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
So I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
To stop and say "I love you,"
Instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
So I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
To make up for an oversight,
And we always get a second chance
To make everything just right.
There will always be another day
To say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance to say
Our "Anything I can do?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
And today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
And I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
Young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
You get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
Why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
You'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
For a smile, a hug, or a kiss
And you were too busy to grant someone,
What turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
And whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
And that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
You'll have no regrets about today.

This Tribute Is For This Weekend
Candles Will Be Lit Again As Usual For Monday
LITTLE ANGELS
When God calls little children
To dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
The wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares
With the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world
Seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
The aged to His fold.
So He picks a rosebud
Before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them
And so He takes but few
To make the land of heaven
More beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult,
Still somehow we must try.
The saddest word that mankind knows
Will always be 'goodbye'.
So when a little child departs,
We who are left behind
Must realise God loves children
Angels are hard to find.
If roses grow in heaven,
Lord Please pick one for me.
Place it in my Loved ones hand
And tell them it's from me.
Tell them that I love them
And when they turn to smile,
Place a kiss upon their cheek
And hold them for a while.
Remembering them is easy,
I do it every day.
But there's an ache within my heart
That will never go away.
I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.
Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?
We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.
So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always stay.
Thoughts Today Memories Forever

Always remembering you
Hi Elaine I remember the many happy hours I spent at your house when I was growing up. Cheryl and I have remained really good friends and have shared the good times together and the bad. You definitely went too soon Elaine but we will never forget you.
I had a special mum,
But i never got to say goodbye
My memories and photos are all i have left of you mum
To have you as a mum was the greatest gift of all
i look at the photos of your smiling face as you look down on me from heaven
There is just one thing that i need to tell you mum of which there is no doubt that you're so wonderful to think about but so hard to live without
I now know how precious mums are now that i have lost you love you for ever
R.I.P sweetdreams
Thinking of you Elaine and remembering what a lovely person you was. You definitely went to soon. You would be so proud of your daughter Cheryl and your lovely grandson Ben. She has done you proud.
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven ,
And bring you back again
