It's a very sad LLJ this week - my wonderful mother passed away on the 4th May. No pain, she just got more tired, went to sleep and didn't wake again.
She was an amazing lady throughout her life, who lived life to the max. She threw herself into any organization she got involved with - she was never one of life's bystanders. The huge amount of visitors to the house has been testament to her many friends.
She was such a support to my two brothers and I - whatever we did or achieved, she gained enormous pleasure from us as we did her. She just made her 87th birthday and 65th Wedding Anniversary which we were so grateful for.
Dear May..loving wife, mother of three, grandmother of seven and great grandmother..you shall be missed so much.

Ah sad news indeed Jan, but it sounds like she had a great life and a wonderful joy and zest for the everyday, just like you, so you'll never truly lose her, just look in the mirror.

Hi Jan,
Please accept my sympathy. My mother also passed away just after her 87th birthday, six years ago. Often it feels like yesterday.
Take care,

I've been gone and playing catch up..It is with a Heavy Heart I say it must be so hard to have a mother pass to the next level of happiness and peace.
Wishing you love and best wishes to carry on. Cherish the memories and there is a bright star watching down upon you. Just look up and smile at her.
