Florence Freda east was my Nan, but when I was a baby she took on soul responsibility for me and
became my MUM, this wonderful lady had 7 of her own children whom she had brought up single handily,
she never had much at all but do you know what we lived day by day, some days without dinner and
electric in the house, but they were the best days of my life, what material things we never had
she made up in love just one cuddle from her would heal everything, she was loved by everyone who
knew her.
I remember every Wednesday would be her pension day, we would go down rose
hill shops and she would buy me some sweets from candy's and we would then go to Shirley
Michael the hairdressers, she would then get her purple rinse done in her hair we would then go to
the ox pub, i would sit in the pub garden and she would sit with ron betts and have a couple of
shandys. Unfortunately
in 1980 she developed breast cancer and could not fight it and peacefully passed away on june the
17th 1981 but she was a fighter right to the end, to this day I still miss her desperately, she was
my MUM god rest her soul.

You are my nan, though I never got to see you, feel your hugs or kisses or hear you I know so much about you from what my mum (gillian) has told me. You sound like one in a million. You passed away 6 years before I was born and I would love to just see you now I am approaching my 20th birthday so you can tell me what menaces my mum and aunties/uncles were when they were growing up. You would be proud of the way my mum has brought her daughters up. She is one in a million. I visit your resting place and smile because I know its the closest I will ever get to you. Your daughter Mandy is another one in a million she has 4 children and is doing a brilliant job bringing them up. You would be one very proud mum if you were here today to see it. I hope Yvonne is looking after you and that your looking after her. God bless nanny, all my love. Rachel xxx
a letter from heaven...from your lovely 'mum'
a 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
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.

missing you mum.
when you are growing up your mum is always there for you,she is there when you need a shoulder to cry on,someone to tell all your whoes and troubles to.and you never imagine life without your mum.when my mum first got ill i was so scared of what might happen to her she had always been a tower of strength as i was growing up.she had a very difficult and hard life and never hsd the good things she so deserved,so when she got quite ill i looked after her for a number of weeks untill one day i came down to find she could hardly breath and it scared me so much,thats when she was admitted to hospital and sadly never came out.I only wish i could have been there with her when she left us.I love and miss her so much and think of her always.She was one of gods beutiful people he must be very proud to have her back.I love and miss you mum.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
