In loving memory of Ruth Lawrence who passed away on the 24th October 2006, aged 91. A very caring
and loving mum, nan and great nan. Formally known of springfield road, tottenham. A loving mother of
6 children including 1 who she fostered at a young age.
My nan passed away so suddenly. It was the worst day of my life receiving the news. I was 7 months
pregnant at the time and i thought that i was going to go in to labour.
No one in this world could ever replace my nan. And it's really hard to find the right words to
describe her with as she is just 1 in a million. I used to pretend i was ill so i didn't have to go
a school so that my mum would leave me at my nans and i knew that she would cook the best meals
ever. I can still picture my nan looking out her window shouting at the kids down below that were up
to no good. We were never allowed to call her anything else other than Nan or she would hit us with
her stick and say less of the Gran! My nan always had a soft spot for this man Alfie who used to
visit her with my uncle and used to always sing the song 'what's it all about Alfie' before he came
so thats why i decided to call my son Alfie as i can still picture and hear her singing it.
R.I.P nan. your are so sadly missed but never ever forgotten.

Please light a candle in memory of my nan.x

Missing you nan, been to the visit your grave today and lay fresh flowers, took mum and Alfie (the great grandson you never got to meet) with me, Alfie was talking away to the flowers as if he was talking to you! I'm sure you were looking down. - Still can't believe you've gone, I think about you every day and wish you were here helping me with my wedding plans - but I know you will be with me in spirit on the day. Love you loads NAN x x x x

Missing you nan.

thinking of you nan. mother's day this year was not the same with out you. it felt as if there was a massive part missing and of course it was you. i hope you liked the flowers i left for you. i remembered your favourite were pink carnations and thats why i bought you a big bunch. Alfie will be 2 months old tomorrow and it breaks my heart to know that you've never had the chance to meet him or see him grow up but i know your watching down on him. don't worry nan i will tell Alfie all about you when he is older and show him lots of pictures of you. sweet dreams nan. we miss you so much. XxX
