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

Thibutes For Week Starting 26th October
♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥AXC♥
FOR MONDAY
In our hearts your memory lingers,
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day, dear Loved One
That we do not think of you.
FOR TUESDAY
Nothing can ever take away
The love a heart holds dear.
Fond memories linger every day
Remembrance keeps them near.
FOR WEDNESDAY
Looking back with memories,
Upon the path you trod,
We bless the hours we had with you,
And leave the rest with God.
FOR THURSDAY
Those we love we never lose,
For always they will be,
Loved, remembered, treasured,
Always in our memory.
FOR FRIDAY
Memories Of Me
I’d like the memory of me
To be a happy one,
I’d like to leave an afterglow
Of smiles when life is done..
I’d like to leave an echo
Whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
And bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve,
To dry before the sun,
Of happy memories that I leave behind
When life is done.
FOR SATURDAY
Separated For Now
Although death has separated us physically,
Faith and love have bound us eternally.
Though we cannot see you,
We know you are here.
Though we cannot touch you,
We feel the warmth of your smile,
As we begin a new chapter in our lives.
Today we pause to reflect upon
Those who have shaped our character,
Molded our spirits and touched our hearts.
May the lighting of this candle be a
Reminder of the memories we have shared,
A representation of the everlasting
Impact you have made upon our lives.
FOR SUNDAY
A Special Gift
You were a gift sent straight from Heaven.
Given to us from God above.
We didn't know how much you would teach us
About the meaning of true love...
For true love sometimes means letting go
Of someone precious and dear.
That is what we were forced to do...
Although we wanted to keep you here!!!
However, this is quite a selfish wish.
One we know we should ignore...
But, sweet Angel, we truly do believe
That God must have needed you more...
Perhaps to be an Angel now,
Full of wisdom and love...
Watching over those of us who love you
From the shining stars above.
We miss you more than you can know.
You will never be replaced...
In our hearts and memories forever,
Will be your sweet and innocent sleeping face.

Quietly I Weep
By Lyndie Sorenson
Although I seem to hide it
My sorrow's still so deep
Missing you in silence
Quietly I weep
I long to see your smile
Hear your laughter, hug you tight
But you're no longer with me
You've headed toward the light
I'm sure you are quite happy
Here on earth I miss you so
Asking that same question
Why was it you that had to go?
I am sure there is an answer...
One that might make sense
When others offer reasons
I'm just on the defence
If they could understand me
Know how hard life is with grief
Just hold my hand and listen...
That would be a great relief
Although I seem to hide it
My sorrow's still so deep
Missing you in silence...
Quietly I weep

♥ Only we who grieve ♥
♥ Tis only we who grieve
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ They look upon us still
♥ They walk among the valleys now
♥ They stride upon the hill
♥ Their smile is in the summer sky
♥ Their grace is in the breeze
♥ Their memories whisper in the grass
♥ Their calm is in the trees
♥ Their light is in the winter snow
♥ Their tears are in the rain
♥ Their merriment runs in the brook
♥ Their laughter in the lane
♥ Their gentleness is in the flowers
♥ They sigh in autumn leaves
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ tis only we who grieve.

ROSES GROW IN HEAVEN
If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my Loved ones arms
And tell them they're from me
Tell them I love and miss them
And when they turn to smile
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for awhile
Because remembering them is easy,
I do it every day
But there's an ache within my heart
Because I am missing them today...
If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me
Place them in my Loved ones arms

Because remembering them is easy,
I do it every day
But there's an ache within my heart
Because I am missing them today...

I need you desperately
I need your help and guidance
I am in terrible despair.
Where are you my angel

Dear angel,show me what to do.
Where are you my angel
Life seems to pass me by
I`m crying out for help
Please show me the way.
Where are you my angel
I know you`re hovering near,
Just give me a little shove
I know that you can hear.
Where are you my angel
I`m asking, show me the way

♥ I Believe ♥
(Written By Skip Ewing and Donny Keyes Copyright 2002)
(Song performed by Diamond Rio)
Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And it's like you haven't been gone
A moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holding you and me
And with all my heart I'm sure
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see
I've got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, I believe
That when you die your life goes on
It doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends and if I'm right
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe, I believe
Forever you're a part of me
Forever in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
The people who don't see the most
Say that I believe in ghosts
And if that makes me crazy
Then I am
'Cause I believe, oh I believe
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, oh I believe
Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And I believe
'Cause I believe, oh I believe.
Friends are like Angels
Friends are like Angels
Who brighten our days.
In all kinds of wonderful,
Magical ways.
Their thoughtfulness comes,
As a gift from above.
And we feel we're surrounded,
By warm, caring love.
Like upside-down rainbows,
Their smiles bring the sun.
And they fill ho-hum moments,
With laughter and fun.
Friends are like angels,
Without any wings.
Blessing our lives,
With the most precious things.

missing our Angels in heaven for friday 16th of october Light A Candle
� J
light a candle,
see it glow,
watch it dance,
when you feel low,
think of me,
think of light,
I'll always be here,
day or night,
a candle flickers,
out of sight,
but in your heart,
I still burn bright,
think not of sadness,
that I'm not near,
think of gladness,
and joyous cheer,
I have not left,
I am not gone,
I'm here to stay
my little one,
so when you light a candle
and you see it glow
and you watch it dance
in your heart you'll know
that I would never leave you
even when you feel so blue
I'm sitting up here with the Lord
and now watching over you
