I have no idea what to write, yet I have so much inside wanting to burst. The call I was dreading, came 5 minutes ago. My sweetheart Mamma just passed away, and I’m beside myself… numb… to the core. A large part of me is glad that she’s no longer trying to hold on, in pain, in difficulty.
The next few days are going to be difficult, and I don’t envisage many writings here, save for perhaps an update on my travels to England for the funeral, to be with my family.
My love goes to my mother, whose strength over the last 2 days has astonished me - I am so proud of you, and I know your mother is too.
Andy, I love you - I miss you, brother - I’ll see you soon.
To the rest of my family, my aunts and uncles, cousins and nephew, she’ll be just fine now… and I know for sure she’ll always be watching over us.
Finally, Bruce, you’re a pillar of strength in my mother’s life, and I cannot describe to you how much respect and love I have for you… for your support.
Mamma, I will always love you, and remember you - rest in peace.

All I can say is I’m sorry… I don’t know what else.
I’m sorry it happened this way, and wished my “words of wisdom” could have affected the real world, David… My condolences, mate.
God Speed, and good luck in your travels.

dave, there are more positives than negatives mate.
No more struggling for air,no more of mamma thinking ” oh please don’t see me like this”,
my gorgeous son giving his great-mamma the biggest and most innocent smile while tightly gripping her fragile hand,being able to say our goodbyes and best of all having known a woman who will never be beaten on anything and holding absolutley nothing but good memories of her.
The funeral will be a choker-no doubt,but in a way, i’m kind of going to celebrate rather than comisserate( spet wrong) her life and how she shaped me and you into the men we are today. I love you Dave and i’ll see you at the airport on Tuesday.
Love
Little Brother

I love you son,and will feel better when you get here…….she was so loved and she loved so well….
I have the Garnet ring she promised you and the golden Buckle one for your brother……
The strain is telling,but I hear her telling me to delegate,and I am.
Love from your Mother. xx
