Story

                                                                           Carol Aldred nee Grant

To Mum,

I never had the chance to say goodbye, and maybe that's a good thing in a way because if i'd have known i was never going to hear your voice again, never see you smile or never hear you laugh with Lucas, i'd have never been able to let you go.

To say you have been the best mum in the world is an understatement. You were so tolerant, never judging (well not to my face), you were sturn when needed and your hugs were the most comforting thing on this planet. I just hope i can be half the mum you were.

Lucas will grow up not knowing you, but what he will know is that he has the most special of nanna's sat up on a cloud watching over him forever and always.

To say i miss you doesn't do the pain justice, its an ache that i'm hoping time will soothe. I know you'll continue to be a huge part of my life as you were and always will be my hero.

your devoted daughter

Jayne

I've set up this page so friends and family can make donations to a charity that I know was close to your heart.

 

Carol, my friend, a true friend and a very loyal friend,

We have laughed together and cried together on many occasions.

Carol loved all her family so much, as with my family they were in discussions very much. We would get together once or twice a week and take an hour out with a cup of tea and put the world to right. Carol was so proud of becoming a nanna and knew that one day I hoped that this would happen to me, so what did she do?

She didn't gloat, she croched two of the most beautiful shawls, gave them to me and said "give these to the girls it might hurry them up a bit", both girls laughed when I handed them over. Anyway, I'm still waiting.

Carol, I miss you so much.

Christine.
