In Memoriam for Jack And Eileen CONNOR

Happy Anniversary in Heaven mum and dad. Miss you every day. You have Douglas there with you now and all the family.

I am still flying the flag for Rutherglen and have an article about you both and Douglas in the Glasgow Times (was the Evening Times ) today and about Francie & Josie and the Rev I M Jolly.

I have lovely flowers for you , red roses and stargazer lillies and keeping all the old traditions.

I have lovely friends and doing my best to keep going. If I get to one second past midnight tonight I will be going into my tenth year cancer free - a miracle-still alive in 2025.

It's hard without all of you. I will light a candle and sing a song for you at 5pm as always. Dad's song for you Mum "Would You Believe Me, I Love You So."

Remembering especially your Silver Wedding, Ruby Wedding and the Millenium when we danced the conga up and down Stonelaw Road, wearing our tiaras mum and with our glasses of Babycham!

What else can I say but Love Always, We'll Meet Again.

Your" One In A Million" daughter Dorothyxxx

I was at a ceilidh at Govan Town Hall till 1.30 this morning. In Paris with Gene Kelly later then at the New Year's Day concert in Vienna (remember that mum?) Then the racing. Hoping to get a winner like I did on my birthday after I dreamnt about a black horse. The last DVD Douglas bought me was Dream Horse and it arrived after he was gone. Will be singin' ('n' dancin) in the rain in a wee while.
All without leaving the house! Fab. A rerr terr at the Ne'erday!

Love always, your Dorothyxxx

Thank you for the huge rainbow over the Sleeping Soldier just now and for the wee plump Robin sitting on the miniature weeping willow tree.

Robins and Rainbows
There is hope
Love always, Dotxxx

Happy New Year in Heaven
Fly free and forever in
Peace, Joy and Love

Looking at the picture of you both on your wedding day (that made the cover of my Home Town Tales book) and the pic I took of you both looking as beautiful and handsome as ever, on your Ruby wedding holding the heart shaped cake I made for you both. A quiet, private moment before all the guests came to the house.

On what would have been your Golden Wedding I gave mum a picture of a field of daffodils -your favourites Dad. On what would have been your Diamond Wedding, mum was bedridden and there was the brightest star in the sky -the planet Venus -and I said "mum, daddy's sent you a diamond!" She always had red roses and stargazer lillies every year from you -even to the last she had them with her -and a daffodil in her hand. On your 65th I went to your resting place and had both of the Books of Remembrance put together so that you could have that anniversary together and I still have that picture on my phone. I have the picture of the golden daffodils too. I remember mum showed me some of your letters to her when you were courting and you were down in London on union business. One phrase always stuck in my mind "The daffodils were early that Spring." You always planted daffodils Dad and I did too after you were gone in your garden. The My Love rose I got you both for your Ruby Wedding had 12 red roses on it 20years later in December on what would have been your Diamond Wedding and on the day of your funeral that snowy day in January. When mum passed in April the daffodils were blooming in all their glory and I made a Spring basket to go with her from your garden that I looked after all those years for you after you were gone.

Now at rest in God's garden

Love always, Dorothyxxx
ps Douglas always bought me red roses and stargazer lillies on this day and daffodils in the Spring.
