6 years, 26th July

You tirelessly cared for our late Mum. Then when God called her to be with Him in Heaven, we lost an Angel. I know it hit you most because you cared for Mum full-time.

You sacrificed your life for Mum and never fully recovered when she said goodbye. The pain was etched all over your face every day after. Then just as we remembered the first anniversary of Mum's passing, you became ill yourself. This was a total shock, you left us aged 51, such a young age. You should have had many more years to share on this Earth.

But God called you to be with Mum so that you both could be together.

You left us with many memories, and are loved and missed beyond all measure. You were someone we will always treasure.
