The obituary notice of Eileen KNOWLES (Nee Fairbrother)

l cannot see your face your hand l cannot touch but just in case you can hear me mum l love and miss you very much l'm thinking of you today l know that's noting new you were in my thoughts of yesterday and you'll be in tomorrows too all my love

mum your arms were always open and your heart will always be a place where l felt safest when the world got to much for me l know when l realy needed you you were always there to tell me how much you loved me and show how much you cared your love support and guidance made me who l am today and l loved the way you made me smile in your very special way you could answer all my problems no matter how big or small and thats why you'll be the greatest mum of all

mum years may pass yet l still hear that sound so distant yet so near the joy of days the light now dim but in my heart you still begin, the world moves on as they do but time stands still for me and you, for in each corner shadow and space l can still see your beautiful face.

ln the quiet hours when shadows fall a mother's absence a haunting call though she may wander beyond our sight her love ignites the darkest night in every breeze in every sigh her presence whispers never goodbye and though the pain may pierce and tears did flow her essence blooms an eternal glow for in the garden of memory's keep her laughter dances and her love runs deep

mum you fought so long so brave so true through endless nights the pain you knew yet still you smiled through every storm a fragile heart so fierce so warm l held your hand but time slipped by no cure could answer every why now only echoes fill the space a shadow where l knew your face you're in the stars the sky the sea a part of all that lives in me though you're gone l still hold tight to the memories that shine so bright

how much we really miss you no words could ever say you're always in our thoughts today and everyday when we think of you mum we shed a silent tear for all of the happy memories of times when you were here you'll never be forgotten even though we've had to part the best mum in the world you'll be forever in our hearts
