Just thinking about you and wanted to send you our love. Miss you so much and love you even more. I think about you every time I hear the birds sing in the garden and I see something beautiful. Hope you know how much you are with us every day.

We love you.

Hi Nan,

Went to your house last night and took a few things to remember you by. Was really tough! How do you say goodbye to so many years of happy memories? The new couple buying your house are apparently lovely and I’m sure will cherish it the way you did. Obviously after last night, you have been on my mind a lot and just wanted to take the chance again to say thank you for everything you did for me. I miss you so much! I’m going to see Granddad in a few days. He’s struggling Nan but your family are always looking after him. Mum and Dad have barely left his side since you left.

Jack and Ben are doing great and I know you would have been so very proud of them. Haven’t mentioned Vicky much when writing to you but just want you to know that she loves you and thinks of you as much as me.

We still can’t believe you are gone. Sleep well with your angels.

Hi Nan,

Sorry I didnt come on here on your birthday. Was busy looking after the kids. Hope you got our balloon. Jack let it go and we watched it get closer and closer to you.

Thought about you all day.

I dont half miss you.

Love you so very much

Happy Birthday Meg xxx

We're all thinking of you today, and every other day too. Miss you so much. Wish we could still come round for our egg and chips, you and Bill would always make us so welcome and we would leave your house laughing every time!

lots and lots of love Vicky xxx

Happy Birthday Nan for 1st March.

Lucy had a lovely '1st' birthday today. She is growing up so fast- I can't believe she is 4 now. I know you'd think she was gorgeous and full of personality. We took her to a safari park today and she got a 'pink' bike as her present.

Ellie is wonderful - such a perfect little baby and very smiley. You would've adored her. She has been to visit 'Grandad Bill' a few times and he's made that clip-clop horse sound to her that lucy loved. I know that you've seen her. I'm glad that you live on through them- sharing Lucy's birthday (most years!) and in Ellie's middle name- I hope that they inherit your wonderful personality too.

We all love you and miss you more than words can possibly say, but know you're in a very special place - both in heaven and within the hearts of everyone whose lives you touched.

Happy Birthday Nan. Love Always xxxxxx

This year Lucy's birthday is the day after the 28th February! Usually it is yours but you have to wait a day longer this year! We think of you every day but March 1st will always be special. We have daffodils for your birthday. I have seen Dad today and he thinks you are with him as I'm sure you are. All the family love and miss you so much but still feel you around us. I talk to you every day and you always help me when I need it. You even found my lost dragonfly for me!

Stay safe with your angels Mum. Love always.

Anne and Stuart

Hi Nan,

Facing a problem at the moment. I love having you here to talk to because you always listened to me. Really miss your advice and support and how you made me feel better. I know you would be telling me to get on with it and problems are never as bad as you think. I knew you so well, I feel I know what your advice would be.

I will be ok but feel better talking to you about it.

Be back for your birthday. There is a balloon coming your way on the morning so look out for it.

Love always

Lee

"You greet us at the front door. You are just finishing a crossword. Grandad is in the lounge watching football. We have a catch up on what we have been up to the last week. You tell me to go and watch the football with Grandad and leave you and Vicky in peace. I come back through at half time and you ask how the game is going (even though you dont really care). Five minutes later, Grandad appears. He doesnt like being on his own in the front room when he thinks he might be missing something. He goes back for the second half and you usher me to follow him whilst saying to Vicky BLOODY FOOTBALL. You come in ten minutes before the end and ask what time its due to finish as you are making the tea. We come through at full time with a report on the game and you tell us to sit down and make the table as Tea is ready. EGG CHIPS AND BEANS. Fantastic! We finish our meal and get ready to leave but you always have something else to say. We always stay longer than we planned but dont mind as we love it here. We open the front door and you comment on the weather and tell us to be careful. We will see you next week. Look after each other. You respond by telling us not to worry about you and to look after each other." Been missing you a lot recently Nan and its memories like that that put a smile on my face. Love you very much always. xxx

Baby Ellie Meg born today.

Ellie Meg Foster was born today. A part of you is back with us now. Dad is pleased and understands. We love you very much. God bless.

Hi Nan,

Just wishing you a merry Christmas. You always made this such a special time for me and all of my favourite memories involve you. Had our first Christmas in Connahs Quay with the kids and had a lovely day.

Jack was very spoilt. He was so excited about Father Christmas.

You are forever in our hearts.

We love you

Vicky, Lee, Jack and Ben xxx

We are thinking of you at Christmas Mum and love you very much. Dad is here with us and we are looking after him. I know your angels will be looking after you for us.

God Bless.

Hi Nan,

Just wanted to say hello.

Its Christmas next week and we are looking forward to spending it as a family. It still doesnt feel right for me celebrating without you here but I know that would make you angry thinking like that.

Jack is really excited and has talked about you up in the sky more recently as he knows Father Christmas will be up there soon.

Will be back on Christmas Day to wish you all the best.

Love you always

Lee

Myself and the rest of the family often talk about you when remembering happy family get togethers.

I like to think of you with Nana and Grandad Mac and the rest of your sisters looking down on us and smiling.

We think about you so often you arent really gone.

Our memories of you allow you to live on and on.

We know you are looking down keeping an eye on us every once in a while.

We wish we could look up and see your beaming smile.

Love you forever

Vicky, Lee, Jack and Ben xxxxxxxxx

A whole year has gone by but there's never a day we don't think of you. Thank you for being the best mum, nan and great nan and a wonderful wife to Dad. You have left us so many wonderful memories and you live on in all of us. We will love you for ever and try to make you proud every day.

The words read out on this day last year were so wonderful and I'd like to say these few lines again.

"If I could be just half the person

You have been to me

Then you have taught me well dear mum

For in my heart I see

A woman whose most gentle soul

Embraces me each day,

A woman whom I dearly love

Much more than words can say."

Rest with your angels mum. God bless. Anne and Stuart xx
