Hi to all our GTS friends I am so sorry that we havent lit any candles in such a long time but my
mum Susan is in hospital with septicemia and gangreen, without going into to much detail, they've
cut out half of the back of her right leg so it's a long road to recovery and with my grandad still
in bad health I just cant get on to light for our angels, mums been in hospital 4 weeks now and they
think she'll be in at least another 6 weeks, then she'll need care when she gets home for about 6
months, but as soon as she's home and settled we'll start again (fingers crossed) thank you for
lighting Marys way while we carnt love Carly xxxxx

This woman was an amazing lady. Even though she had alot to put up with since she had her fisrt
stroke on 2nd December 2006, she smiled through all of it. Her family meant the world to her. She
was a loving wife to James Emmerson for nearly 59 years. She missed this anniversary by just 8 days.
She always put us first. I was one of her 4 grandchildren, and we always felt loved by her. She
helped raise me and my sister, so she was like another mum to us. She will be forever missed by
everyone who knew her. She touched everyone's heart. My sister set up and wrote the first part of
our Grandma's page like our Grandma and Mum she is an amazing young woman she's only 14 and shes
said I can add to the story of Mary so here goes Mary was born on the 3rd March 1923 the middle
child of 3 her mum was a nurse & a Housewife her Dad a Coal Miner, Mary was a very intelligant woman
in a time when women were destined to be housewives and instilled education into her children even
as a young girl the fighting spirit that would serve her well in later life was there she suffered a
bad bought of diptheria as a child and was in hospital for a long time because of it with doctors
saying she wouldnt pull through, but as usual she proved people wrong about her and made a full
recovery in 1939 at the age of 16 she voluntered to join the ATS where she was sent to work in Kent
as a Office Clerk & Stock Control where she stayed till the war ended in March 1948 she met Jim our
Granddad and they married on the 25th of September that year who she was with for 59 yrs they had
two Daughters together and between them they gave them 6 Grandchildren although dont expect to see
them on this page 2 of our Cousins died 1 as a result of a cot death the other 2 and there mother
walked out of our lives 10 years ago for reasons unknown and that broke Marys heart but our mum
Susan Myself and sister are regular visitors our mum moved in to look after Grandma 16 yr ago as she
wasnt as young as she used to be although she was very independant arthritus had took a bit of a
hold from 1989 Mary had 4 heart attacks but again she came through it she really was a very brave
woman on the 2nd December 2006 she suffered a massive Stroke that paralysed her down her right side
and took out her speach and swallow although she regained some swallow in the 12 weeks she was on
the Stroke Unit what shocked everyone was the resilliance she had she never cried or moaned and
always smiled through it for us she came home on Valentines day 2007 and our mum Susan and myself
became her full time careres a job we would have done till the end of time given the chance in June
we noticed a mark on her right foot that looked like a massive blood blister that the District
Nurses blamed on our level of Care something we argueed against we knew they were wrong but
something we would learn to our cost when they get a idea in there heads you cant shift it after 3
weeks of begging the district nurses daily and our GP weekly we phoned an ambulance because Mary had
had nothing to eat and very little to drink for 3 weeks our GP told us that she was 84 let her go
but as long as she fought we would and when we got her to hospital she had a massive pneumonia a
common problem in stroke victims and had lost her swallow completely another 2 weeks passed before
they feed her with an NG tube because the nurses wernt sure but with some help from PALS we got a
PEG tube fitted so we could feed her through her stomach it was there that they realised her foot
which now resembled a scene from CSI was a form of Gangreen that bedbound people suffer from 5 weeks
passed on that ward before she came home as bubbley and interactive as ever
we had her at home 3 weeks when we noticed a crackle on her Chest and yet again phoned our GP the
distict Nurses and Community Matron said she was fine nothing to worry about our GP came in 3 times
the week before she died The Community Matron twice and the District Nurses daily and two emergancy
doctors all who gave her the all clear nothing to worry about on the 14 september after a week of
constant blood chilling moaning from Mary that we were told was for attention even though it was out
of character for her my mother and I went to get her ready for the day when we saw that her legs up
to her waist looked like corned beef her hands were purple and she was foaming at the mouth we
called an ambulance her heart stopped twice in the house and when we got her into hospital she again
had a massive pneumonia as well as scepticemia and all her veins had collepsed so IV antibiotics
were not an option but she tried her best to pull through and on monday the 17th September she was
showing signs of progress they even started her PEG feed again the nurses came in to change her and
we went out for 5 mins taking comfort in that she was getting better when we went back her face was
in the pillow and she was having a second massive stroke that affected her left side and took her on
to the other side we were devistated, Mary was cremated on her 59 Wedding Anniversary, her other
daughter and grandchildren didnt attend they were told thery were told about her first stroke and
there reply was it's her age and to be expected, please dont feel sorry for us we were lucky we knew
her all our lives and that was a gift and from her first stroke to the day she died we were with her
24/7 but do i beg you listen to this, question your doctor if you think there wrong Mary trusted
them and they failled her taking her blood thinning tablets off her 2 weeks before her first stroke
thank you for listening sorry for banging on Carly

LOVE TO YOUR ANGEL MARY XX
Angels
When you were born, an angel smiled,
As you became a child, an angel sat on your shoulder
When you became an adult, an angel held your hand
As you grew old, an angel walked down the road with you,
And, when you died, another angel got their wings.
TRIBUTE FOR THURSDAY 5.11.09
..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..
The size of sadness
Can you measure our pain?
It reaches the stars and back again
Can you count our tears?
They are as many as winter rain
Can you weigh our emptiness?
The world and more would come to less
With no hope of sun tomorrow
That's how we see our sorrow
Add all together -The size of sadness
..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..
TRIBUTE FOR FRIDAY 6.11.09.
..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..
Having you not with me
Hurts more and more each day
Although I feel a closeness
In a very special way
Even as I go to sleep
Every thought is of you
And I never thought i'd miss you
In quite the way I do
So i'm hoping that these words
May some how let you know
That you're in my heart forever
And i'll always love you so
The one and only thing
That helps me with the pain
Is dreaming of the time
When I will see you once again...
..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..
TRIBUTE FOR SATURDAY 07.1109
..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..
My love is with you
Oh What can I say?
My heart is empty without you each and every day.
The Angel wings you wear must be so grand,
if only I could reach out and touch your hand,
maybe then we could say goodbye,
which would help dry the tears that I cry
Now I know that’s impossible for us to do,
so let’s make a deal just you and me.
When I look to the stars at night,
you look for me with all your might,
when you see me just shine real bright,
together we can send our love
and say Good Night.
I would like to wish you all a very good weekend and God Bless all our Angels and all our BRAVE HERO'S who have Lost Their Lives.
With love as always Linda.xxx

♥ From Water Bug to Dragonfly ♥
(Tessa Wilkinson)
The bottom of the pond is muddy and dark
There is fear of the unknown
There is loneliness as things change
There is the desperation of being left behind
Not knowing, not understanding
Watching and waiting
Then the journey comes
Up the stem
What waits beyond?
Sunlight
Freedom
Dancing together in joy with those who went before
And who will come after.

Letter From Heaven
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.
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.
FOR SUNDAY
Reply to "Letter from Heaven"
My Dearest Loved one:
I received your Letter from Heaven,
It made the teardrops fall.
But knowing you’re with God above,
Sweet memories, I will recall.
I know that you are with me,
For I feel your presence near.
And if I listen closely,
Your voice I then can hear.
I know you’re watching o’er me,
As you promised you would do.
And when I feel so saddened,
It’s your letter that sees me through.
When I lay in bed at night,
The day’s chores put to flight,
I truly feel your presence,
Like a warm and glowing light.
The rocky roads you mentioned,
And the hills that I must climb;
I’ve done exactly what you said,
By taking one day at a time.
I’ve tried to help others,
Who are in sorrow and in pain.
And now I am contented,
My day was not in vain.
I’ll lend a hand, as you have said
When someone is feeling low.
I’ll pray for them and be here,
‘Till on their way they go.
And when it’s time for me to go,
To join you in heaven high.
My wings I shall spread wide,
To my home up in the sky.

♥ The Only Way ♥
(Tessa Wilkinson)
• The only way we can be protected from the pain of loss and the grief we feel, is by having never loved.
• How empty our lives would be, and what a lot of wonderful shared moments we would have missed, if we had not known.
• So, although what we feel at the moment is terrible, we must try to remember that it is because we have all been privileged to have known and loved, that we now feel the pain and sadness.
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
Prayer of Faith.
We trust that beyond absence there is a presence.
That beyond the pain there can be healing.
That beyond the brokenness there can be wholeness.
That beyond the anger there may be peace.
That beyond the hurting there may be forgiveness.
That beyond the silence there may be the word.
That beyond the word there may be understanding.
That through understanding there is love.

Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.
If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.
If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.love always gail & carla.XXX
