Personal Background

 

Marjorie

 

 

Marjorie Webb was a wonderful Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Aunt and friend who passed away on Saturday 5th July. I think I can say with confidence that all who knew and loved her were touched by her in someway.Marjorie was an ordinary woman but also an extraordinary woman. Born in Portsmouth on the 22nd of December 1938, she was the eldest of 4, and lived there until moving to Kingston in the 60’s, and made her home there with her children, Lorraine, Kevin, Sally and  Karen and with Paul who was with us for only a short while, but never forgotten and with whom she is with now.Marjorie retired in 2000 and moved to Crawley, but always worked part time doing various cleaning jobs, often seen around with her Mary Poppin’s bag of goodies, so called because you never knew what would appear next from it, and always amused those who found out. Marjorie had strong beliefs and opinions on many things and would always voice which would sometimes cause lively discussions, one that caused a lot of discussion was football, as growing up in Portsmouth this was her team, and all other teams, were cheats (Particularly  Man Utd and Chelsea).She loved all of her family and recognised in each of them their individual uniqueness and valued them for it. And always enjoyed spending her time with her 11 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. She loved collecting for them, buying football sticker albums, even though the grandchildren would not get a look- in as she would take over putting the stickers in. She was a great role model to all, often guiding those when she thought they were going wrong, and she would never be disrespected for this (even though she was not always right). Her illness came as a shock to us all, and was so sudden that it did not really give anyone  any time to prepare for her passing, and has left us all feeling empty and sad inside, but she would not want us to grieve in this way and would want us all to look forward to the future, to embrace life and to use our own memories in remembering her and her life. Her courage during that last week was inspirational, and when she was ready to go, she did so knowing that all her children were around her altogether. I am sure that somehow she will continue to sustain us all in our grief, and her legacy is in the people we see around us today, the grandchildren and great grandchild will be  a testament to her.

 

We loved you so much, God Bless, let God take care of YOU now,  Lorraine, Kevin, Sally and Karen.

 

 

The above are Mum`s Memorial Candle and Memorial Picture from Precious Memorials, we thank you for such a wonderful memorial.

 

 

 

She Is Gone

 

You can shed tears that she is gone

Or you can smile because she has lived

You can close your eyes and pray she`ll come back

Or you can open your eyes and see all she has left

Your hearts can be empty because you can`t see her

Or you can be full of the love you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember her and only that she`s gone

Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back

Or you can do what she`d want smile,

Open your eye`s , love and go on

 

 

 

Grandmother

 

We had a wonderful grandmother

One who never really grew old

Her smile was made of sunshine

And her heart was solid gold

Her eyes were as bright as shining stars

And in her cheeks fair roses you see

We had a wonderful grandmother

And that`s the way it will always be

But take heed, because

She`s still keeping an eye on all of us

So let`s make sure

She will like what she sees

 

 

Final Journey

 

During your journey on your final flight home

White wings will carry you and you will be flown

To the pearly gates of heaven,

Where they will usher you in

To the feet of your lord, your saviour, your friend

He will hold you in his arms, and the angels will sing

As another of his children is delivered by white wings

 

 

To Those Whom I Love and Those Who Love Me  

 

When I am gone, release me, let me go

I have so many things to see and do

You must not tie yourself to me with tears

Be happy that I have had so many years

I gave you my love, you can only guess

How much you gave me in happiness

I thank you for the love each have shown

But now it is time I travelled on alone

So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must

Then let your grief be comforted by trust

It is only for a while that we must part

So bless the memories in your heart

I will not be far away, for life goes on

So if you need me, call and I will come

Though you can not see or touch me, I will be near

And if you listen with your heart , you will hear

All my love around you soft and clear

Then, when you must come this way alone

I will greet you with a smile and a

 

“ Welcome Home”

 

 

 

My Special Angel

 

She’s always watching over me,

I feel her presence near,

She’s always here to listen,

And guide me through my fears.

She’s a very special angel,

One God choose just for me,

She was once my Mum here on earth,

But that wasn’t long to be.

God called her home one night,

My fear and rage did see thee,

If he were a loving God,

Why take my Mum from me.

But in time I saw the plan,

He unveiled for me to see,

He had take my Mum away,

But He gave her back to me.

There was only one thing different,

About this wondrous thing,

She had just traded her faded house-dress,

For a halo and snow white wings.

 

 

 

 

 

The first we knew of Mums illness was when Karen took her to Kingston for the weekend on the 10th May , Her and Sally had noticed that she was very yellow in colour in the face, and decided to take her to Kingston Hospital, where she was admitted and had tests carried out that weekend and the following week. It was after these tests that the doctors warned us on the 17th May , that Mum had Pancreatic Cancer and was given upto 8 weeks to live. Whilst she was in Hospital we gave her some Guardian Angels pins to wear on her nightdress, these gave her comfort during the times that we could not be with her.

 

 

 

Mum was in Kingston Hospital until the 26th June, when she was transferred to St Catherine`s Hospice, Crawley. She was there for 10 Days the last 5 days she was heavily sedated to keep her pain free.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We lost our beloved Mum on the 5th July, 2008 at 4am , She finally lost her courageous battle , Lorraine, Kevin, Sally and Karen, her Son In Law Graham and Sister Mary were all at her bedside as she slipped away.

 

 

If tears could build a stairway

And memories a lane

I`d walk right upto heaven

And bring you home again

 

 

In 1972 Mum gave birth to her fifth child , a son, named Paul. During the birth Mum had serious complications, and due to these Paul was born with serious problems, and he only lived for 4 Days, although we never met him, he will never be forgotten by all of us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wishing you Paul, A Very Merry Christmas love from Lorraine , Kevin, Sally & Karen and all our families

 

 

I love you Nan

I told you that I love you, Nan
I hope that you could hear me,
I know that you love me too Nan,
And our love forever will be.

 

You were in so much pain before Nan,
And I know that this was for the best,
Because nothing can hurt you anymore Nan
Now you can finally rest.

 

I think about you every day Nan
And every day I shed a tear,
But I know that you’re still here Nan,
In the hearts of us who hold you dear.

 

 

Getting Tired

 

 

 

God saw that she was getting tired

And a cure not to be

So he put his arm around her

And whispered “come with me”

With tearful eye’s we watched her

And saw her fade away

Although we loved her dearly

We could not make her stay

A golden heart stopped beating

Hard working hands to rest

God broke our hearts to prove to us

He only takes the BEST.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Message for Mum – from the family

 

God looked around his garden

 And saw an empty space.

 

He then looked down upon this earth

And saw you smiling face.

God’s garden must be beautiful

He always takes the best

For an unknown reason he took you

Up to heaven, and shielded you with grace.

It broke our hearts to see you go

But you did not go alone

For part of us went with you

The day God called you home.

Walk In Sunshine

 

May you alway’s walk in sunshine, and God’s

Love around you flow.

For the happiness you gave us,

no one will ever know

It broke our heart’s to lose you, but you did

Not go alone,

A part of us went with you, the day God called

You home.

A million times we’ve needed you

A million times we’ve cried

If love could have saved you

You never would have died

The Lord be with you, and may you rest in peace.

 

AMEN

All Things Bright & Beautiful

 

All things bright and beautiful

All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful,

 

The Lord God made them all.

 

Each little flower that opens,

Each little bird that sings,

God made their glowing colours,

And made their tiny wings.

 

The purple headed mountain,

The river running by,

The sunset and the morning,

That brightens up the sky.

 

The cold wind in the winter,

The pleasant summer sun,

The ripe fruits in the garden,

God made them every one

 

God gave us eyes to see them,

And lips that we might tell,

How great is God Almighty,

Who has made all things well.

Christmas 2008

 

My First Christmas In Heaven

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

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 one`s

You know I hold you dear

And be glad i`m spending christmas

With Jesus Christ 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

And was more important

The stories Jesus told

 

Please love and keep each other 

My father said to do

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 am spending christmas

With Jesus Christ this year

 

 

Memory

Memory is a strange thing, not always to be comanded , not always to be trusted when it comes. Our memory of the dead we have loved and lost is not only in the mind - it is deep within us, a part of us, never leaving us. It is part of God`s love in us; however we might perceive God. It is always constant, making no account of time or place, life or death.

 

Each week, and month, and year, may seem long, sometimes weary, sometimes lonely, unless we share it with those who are out of time, united in the timelessness of God for whom a thousand years are but a moment.

 

We cannot conceive of being in the prescence of God, except by imperfect images of light and music. But when we remember with love those whom we have lost we remember that we too are omn a journey that will take us to where they are, united in the timelessness of God for whom a thousand years are but the moment.

 

 

 

The above is a reading from the St Catherine`s Tree of Light service 7th July 2008,

The Holy Trinity School Senior Choir attended singing a mixture of Christmas Carols as people gathered for the service and also as they left.

Using the candles we were given by St Catherine`s , we stood to sing 3 carols,

 O Little Town Of Bethlehem

Silent Night

It Came Upon The Midnight Clear

 

A tree with memorial candles written by people wanting to remember a lost loved one, Lorraine, Graham and Karen put candles on for themselves and for Kevin & Sally, Grandchildren Michelle, Matthew, Harry and Joshua all placed a candle on the tree.

 

Harry, Michelle, Karen, Joshua, Lorraine and Matthew at the Tree of Light service holding Memorial Candles handed out by the hospice staff , God Bless Mum and all at St Catherines and all of those being remembered on this site.

 

The Tree of Light, all the lights on the tree are sponsored by people remembering a lost loved one to raise funds for St Catherine`s Hospice

Latest Tributes

For Marjorie's Family - I am so sorry for your loss. I know what it is like to loose someone suddenly. The pain can be heartbreaking, almost unbearable. The Bible is a great source of comfort. The resurrection is a sure hope found in the Bible. In it there are several accounts of people who died and were brought back to life as humans on earth. A similar resurrection will occur but on a much bigger scale. At John 5:28, 29 Jesus said "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." The pain and heartache that death brings will be gone. We will be able to say what is found at 1 Corinthians 15:54 "Death is swallowed up forever." Jehovah's original purpose was for us to live forever in paradise on earth, and that has not changed. Isn't it comforting to know that seeing Marjorie healthy and happy can be a reality? I just wanted to share something encouraging with your family. Hopefully this brings you some comfort. Please feel free to contact me. My email address is Futurehope4u09@yahoo.com. - from Amanda

Special Mum - Mum, miss you so much, your loss is felt so much more at Christmas, its a time when we should all be together.

Graham - Ere Marge, you remember when I used to pick you up outside Sainsburys when you used to work late, I always used to stand outside and you would come out, head down, head scarf on, knowing I was there, but not saying so, and then you would look up and say " Hello Love, you been there long, I didn`t see you there ", you little liar , you knew all the time.

Lorraine - Hello Mum, This Christmas was always going to be hard and it really was, having both your 70th birthday and Christmas within 3 days of each other was really hard to deal with, hopefully we did you proud x I am so glad that last Christmas you spent with me and Graham and the boys, I will treasure the memories I have in my mind of that time. I hope you enjoyed that time with us too. When I look at the photos we took of you last Christmas you looked so ill, even though we didn't know at that time you had cancer, but you tired easily and did your usual falling asleep on the chair, where before we sometimes got cross with you, we let you sleep, when I think of that now I wonder if deep down I knew you weren't well, you know I kept on at your for ages to get that back ache sorted, but you never did. I only hope you didn't have any fears mum that you kept to yourself, it breaks my heart to think you may have known something was wrong and was frightened. Please God you have no worries or fears now and you have learnt to laugh again xx I will miss you forever xx
