Rose Mary Williams (Mary) left this world peacefully on the 21st October 2006 at 8.20am aged 82 after her battle with Cancer.
Mary lived in Wednesbury in west midlands. Mary leaves behind two daughters and son in laws, Cousin Fred 5 grandchildren, 4 great granchildren. She will be sadly missed by all her family and friends.
Mary was my Nan, she was an amazing lady, who loved us all. You would never hear her shout, and she would always make sure the chocolate tin was full for when we went to visit.
After my grandfathers passed away nearly 3 years ago she was very lonely and missed him dearly. When my Nan found out she had cancer she didnt want us to know, she battled for months keeping it to herself as to spare us from heartache until the last stages.
sunday 15th October i was told my nan had deteriorated rapidly but it wasnt until Monday my mum told me it was Cancer. I decided i had to go and see her so on Friday the 20th October i went to the hospital. She was a sleep the whole time snoring. I wished she would open her eyes and look at me but she didnt. Before i left i whispered in her ear that is was ok i knew i was saying goodbye but that was too final for me so i said goodnight Nan its ok I love you give grandad a kiss for me, i then kissed her 3 times on the cheek.
She was a brave lady and i want her to know that i will always think about her and grandad and i will shed my tears as i rememember the times we spent together, I love you Nan and Grandad but am happy that you are reunited again.
Love and miss you, your heartbroken grandaughter Helena x x x x x
God Saw You...
by Adam Males
God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "Come to me".
You didn't deserve what you went through,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping,
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again

grandmother
we had a wonderful grandmother,
One who never really grew old;
Her smile was made of sunshine,
And her heart was solid gold;
Her eyes were as bright as shining stars,
And in her cheeks fair roses you see.
We had a wonderful grandmother,
And that' s the way it will always be.
But take heed, because
She's still keeping an eye on all of us,
So let's make sure
She will like what she sees.
a year gone by
Nan a year has passed
Since the day god called you home.
I know you wanted to be there to be back with granddad
You missed him so much.
I am so glad that I got the opportunity so say goodbye to you
And although you never woke up that day I know you knew I was there
It was the hardest thing I had to do walking in there
Knowing that it would be the last time I saw you, the last time I kissed you
And the pain in my heart knowing that I can never pick up the phone and hear your voice again or call in to your house for one of your cup of teas and sandwiches will remain with me always.
You were in pain nan and if I could have bought you back however much I wish to see you and here your voice again I would never have bought you back to suffer that again.
I wish you had told me you were ill earlier on then I would have made more of an effort to travel to see you I know that no excuse and I should have seen you more often, that guilt will also remain with me.
My last memory of you apart from the one seeing you lying there in hospital snoring! Was when we came in August. You looked so healthy but even then you knew how to hide it from me, oh nan I am so sorry for not seeing it earlier.
I hope you heard me whispering in your ear I hope you know how much I love you nan. You will never ever be forgotten a special nan like you never is.
Until we meet again nan know you always have a special place in my heart. Send everyone my love and I hope Grandad is looking after you x x x x
Love you heartbroken Granddaughter & Grandson in Law Helena & John x x x

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

When tomorrow Starts without me
When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
by David M. Romano
When tomorrow starts without me,and I'm not there to see;If the sun should rise and find your eyes,all filled with tears for me;I wish so much you wouldn't cry,the way you did today,while thinking of the many things,we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,as much as I love you,and each time that you think of me,I know you'll miss me too;But when tomorrow starts without me,please try to understand,that an Angel came and called my name,and took me by the hand,and said my place was ready,in heaven far above,and that I'd have to leave behind,all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,a tear fell from my eye,for all life, I'd always thought,I didn't want to die.I had so much to live for,so much yet to do,it seemed almost impossible,that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,the good ones and the bad,I thought of all the love we shared,and all the fun we had.If I could relive yesterday,just even for awhile,I'd say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,that this could never be,for emptiness and memories,would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things,I might miss come tomorrow,I thought of you, and when I did,my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,I felt so much at home.When God looked down and smiled at me,from His great golden throne, He said, "This is eternity,and all I've promised you".Today for life on earth is past,but here it starts anew.I promise no tomorrow,but today will always last,and since each day's the same day,there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,so trusting and so true.Though there were times you did some things,you knew you shouldn't do.But you have been forgivenand now at last you're free.So won't you take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,don't think we're far apart,for every time you think of me,I'm right here, in your heart
