My mum, Pauline Sumner, passed away on 20th January 2008. She had just turned 60 in September 2007.
Mum enjoyed her job as a Lollipop Lady for more than 20 years, which she did at various posts in our home village of Bamber Bridge, Preston. She was also a Foster Parent for 9 years.
Loving & devoted wife of Paul. She was the youngest of 4 including Lucille, Jean & George (also deceased). Mum has 2 children, my brother Darren and myself. She has 2 step-daughters called Pauline & Sharon. Also 4 grandchildren who she loved dearly Emma, Tom, Laura & Kierron.
Mums nieces Karen, Emma & Terri were loved more as daughters in many ways, as they always had a very close relationship.
Mum had Oesophageal Cancer and suffered over 15 months going through various courses of treatment. She was treated by the wonderful Care Staff at St Catherines Hospice, and it is there she passed away.
My mum was a wonderful, strong-willed, beautiful woman inside and out. Most people who had the privilage of meeting her loved her straight away. Not only was she my mum, she was like a mum to many of my friends. She was everyones mum, sister & friend all rolled into one.
A lady who loved unconditionally and without prejudice. She loved all people from all different walks of life.
The heart of our household.
Mum loved her family & her friends with much passion.
Mum just loved life.
She was such an amazing person and she will never be forgot.
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard Him call.
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day.
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found that place at the close of day.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seems all to brief.
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me.
God wanted me now, He set me free.
Merry Christmas Mum
♥♥ If roses grow in heaven Lord, then pick a bunch for me. Place them in my mums arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her that I love and miss her, and when she turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while ♥ Miss you mum ♥
I tried to call you today to say I love you, but I couldn't find your number so I tried the operator & she said sorry I have no number for you... So I tried to go to your house, but you don't live there anymore & the post office has no forwarding address... I guess heaven is just too far away!! I love you and you are in my heart always and forever!! Copy and paste in remembrance of loved ones gone but not forgotten - I miss u everyday!!" ♥ xxx
You’ve just walked on ahead of me
And I’ve got to understand
You must release the ones you love
And let go of their hand.
I try and cope the best I can
But I’m missing you so much
If I could only see you
And once more feel your touch.
Yes, you’ve just walked on ahead of me
Don’t worry I’ll be fine
But now and then I swear I feel
Your hand slip into mine.
For Angels by me xxx
X Angel you mean more than words can say X
You are with me each and every day
During the night when i lay awake
Thinking of your never ageing face
You sit there with me
When the sunlight sets up high
You are walking by my side
When the first snowdrop falls
When the winds roar
You are there enjoying it all
So until my road comes to an end
You stay with me
For you where and always are
Godsent

X The Gift X
I got a gift!
It came with no fancy ribbons or bows
It was very simple but more special than any other gift before
It was filled with love and happiness
To last a lifetime through
It came with its own personalty and feelings
As well as many other things
That made me think, smile and scream!
Now my gift has gone back from where it came
An incredible gift i wont ever get again
So all i can say is until i see the gift again
I want everyone to know
The gift that gave me everything
x Was you Angel with a heart as pure as gold x
I wish heaven had a phone, so i could hear your
voice again. I thought of u today, but that is nothing new. I thought
about u yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame

love you xxx
"M" is for the million things she's given me, "O" means only that she's growing old, "T" is for the tears she shed to save me, "H" is for her heart of purest gold; "E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining, "R" means right, and right she'll always be, Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER," A word that means the world to me.♥ xxx♥
