Violet Riley was born in Birmingham on 30th july 1923. She has 2 sisters Dorothy and Thelma and a brother George. Her husband was called Johny, they had 10 children together; Noreen, Bridget, John, Mickey, Paddy, Terry, Kathleen, Vincent, Kevin and Shaun. i am one of her 27 grandchildren and at the last count she had 45 great grandchildren (3 she never got to meet but would have adored all the same).
Violet was unwell, she couldnt eat at first but she refused offers for a doctor then she started getting weaker and vomoting but refused offers for a doctor, we gave in and called one. When the doctor came she sent for an ambulance as she had pnuemonia and was developing jaundice. At the hospital they discovered her heart rate was eratic, the drugs they gave her started to make her kidneys fail, after 7 days they told us there was nothing more they could do and they gave her a couple of hours. She hung on untill all of her family had been and said their goodbyes. She passed away at 12.50 am on 10th october 2006.
She was burried on 17th october at the west road crem. She had a beautiful horse drawn carrige. Some people even done a road block so all the cars could stay together there were loads. The church was packed some people had to stay outside with the door open. it was a beautiful service (and a nice drink afterwards). I would personally like to thank every one for coming, especialy her sister Thelma who came all the way up from birmingham with a lovely reading for at the graveside.
Dear nana,
we spent 18 years together and every moment and memory will be treasured in my heart forever. I remember all the times i watched you make your toffee cakes, apples and cinder toffee. You always used to give me the little sugary ones. The nights we used to sit up talking and u would always end up getting a back rub from me. I most enjoyed our trips to feed the horses at Dannies farm. Remember the time your scooter broke down? that was a realy funny day. When i had Stephanie you were always there to give me help and advice (you had plenty afterall you did have 10 of your own). I still use your advice now on Thomas (you would love him, hes just like Stephanie as a baby). I will make sure they know all about you, I still talk about you to Stephanie.
I will always love you nana you were like a second mam to me also like a best friend.
Love you lots. Lots of love Claire xxx
Breeze
Erika Hernandez
The breeze feels nice
the breeze is calm
Like touched by God
Under the sun
I see a flower...
as pretty as can be
I smile and I think I see
you looking at me
Now, you are in heaven
in the pretty blue sky
Now I know when the breeze feels nice
You are there with me
TO MY FRIEND ON VALENTINES DAY

Christmas In Heaven
I see the countless Christmas Trees around the world below,
with tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear,
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their 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 dear ones. You know I hold you dear,
and be glad I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above.
I send you each a memory of, my undying love.
After all 'LOVE' is the gift, more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,
for I can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear,
Remember, I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year
Love to Clairexxx
never take someone for granted..... hold special people close to your heart...... because you might wake up one day and realise that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones.. send this to diamonds in your life. i just did

I stood beside your bed last night,
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying,
quietly in your sleep.
I touched you softly
as you brushed away a tear,
'It's me, I haven't left you,
I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour coffee,
You were thinking of how much you
loved me.
I was with you at the store today,
Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels,
I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today,
You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you,
that I'm not really there.
I walked with you to the house,
as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my hand on you,
I smiled and said 'it's me.'
You looked so very tired,
and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know,
that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be
so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty,
'I never went away.'
You sat there very quietly, then
smiled, I think you knew ...
In the stillness of that evening,
I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch
you yawning and say
'goodnight, God bless,
I'll see you in the morning.'
And when the time is right for you
to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and
we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to
show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out
then come home to be with me.
Claire

Do you make them laugh in heaven
does your smile bring them good cheer?
do you make the sun shine brighter
like you did when you were here?
the very mention of your name
the memories of your smile
the little things you said and did
are with us all the while.
You meant so very much to us
theres nothing left to say
except that without you here
there is no perfect day
for no-one knows the heartache
that lies behind our smiles
no-one knows how many times
we have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something
so there won't be any doubt
you're so wonderful to think of
but so hard to be without
we hold you close within our hearts
and there you shall remain
to walk with us throughout our lives
until we meet again.
