A poem for Grandma I’ll paint you a scene, For you all to glean, I’m dancing and laughing with old friends who went before me, I’m at peace and wonderfully free, Unencumbered with earthly pain and worry, Sorry if it seemed as though to go I was in a hurry, I wasn’t you see, it’s just that our maker called on me, He offered me a brand new start, Which, in comparison, is a walk in the park, With no sadness, where beauty abounds, Where true happiness and a perfect existence can be found, Oh, if you could see me now you would dry your teary eyes, Listen, now is not the time for you to cut your earthly ties! There is much for you to do, much to achieve, I have done it all, it’s time for me to take my leave! The everyday tasks which you must attend to, for me will keep, I’m off to have my long, well-deserved sleep, But when you are sad, or you feel rather blue, I beg you not to start weeping anew, Although you cannot see me, promise me one thing, March on, live your life, and my voice through you will sing.

Love is immortal Love is pure energy You can never kill love Because pure energy can't die The feeling of love can fade And the body cease to give But the energy created by love Is immortal and continues to live Sending love to all the family ,I know my mom and your mom will be dancing away somewhere amongst the stardust .They were best friends in life may they be best friends forever somewhere out there waiting for that day we can all be together again . On behalf of Jean sending love and hugs Amanda

God bless Joy and all the family. Joy made me so welcome to the family in so many ways and made me feel special every visit. She was the very hub of the family will be the mum for ever..... Love Dave

From Sally John: Your mum, your grandma, your friend was a ‘fearsome’ lady who gave me a home when mine was taken away with no questions. Joy was the best, with a heart which would always have space for others no matter how full. Joy was a second mum to me and I will forever hold her dear in my heart.

Our thoughts are with you all at this sad moment but remember THOSE WE LOVE DON'T GO AWAY THEY WALK BESIDE US EVERY DAY UNSEEN ,UNHEARD BUT ALWAYS NEAR, LOVED.,MISSED AND VERY DEAR I will miss having our great Friday chats and laughs you will never be forgotten Xxxxx

Dear Grandma, Thank you for everything. Thanks for all the lifts and food, the cheeky tenners and hugs. We always felt like the barn was home, a place I could bring anyone, friend waif or stray. I love you so much and will miss you every day. I know you loved me and that's what I remember the most .

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Joy. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
