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

thinking of u at xmas nan xxxx

I see the countless christmas trees around the world below,
with tiny lights like heavens stars,reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular,please wipe away the tear.
For I am spending christmas with the angels this year.

I hear the many christmas songs that people hold so dear,
But the sound of music cant compare,with the christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you the joy there voices bring
For it is beyond description,to hear the angels sing

I know how much you miss me,I see the pain inside your heart.
But I am not so far away,we really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, my loved ones, you know I hold you dear.
And be glad i'm spending christmas with the angels this year.

I sent you each a special gift,from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory of my undying love.
After all love is a gift more precious than pure gold.
It is always most important in the stories we are told.

Please love and keep each other, as we are meant to do.
For I can't count the blessings or love I have for each of you.
So have a merry christmas and wipe away the tear.
Remember I am spending christmas with the angels this year.

luv u always xxxxx

Happy Birthday In Heaven - by Winnie Lovett

"Happy Birthday Ruth"
It's sure to be the best one yet,
Though you left us here behind.
Did you think that we'd forget?

Your cake this year, will surely be,
A beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver,
And the candles made of Gold.

Yes, your birthday in Heaven,
Will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely,
With a halo in your hair.

The Angels will come from everywhere,
To sing your birthday song.
And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng.

No I can't send a card this year,
Or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer,
To that wonderful Nan of yours.

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
