joyce harris, my mom, passed away on 9th february 1996 aged 57.
my mom has 2 sisters iris and audrey, and 2 brothers billy and philip.
her closest family being frank her husband, myself and my 2 daughters sonia and denise, who my mom
idolised.she was one of the most loving, warmest people you would ever meet, always smiling and
helping the elderly neighbours. My mom sadly died from cancer, she only lived for 6 weeks after
diagnosis,it was too advanced for treatment.

My mom is now in heaven with her beloved sister iris, kevin and their mom dolly, and i know they
will be looking after all the baby angels who have sadly passed away.

not a day goes by without a tear for my mom. if i had one wish - it would be to bring her back to
us.

A silent tear
A silent prayer
A silent wish
That you was here.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

till we meet again mom, my love is with you forever xx

mom x

We sent a dove to heaven today,
With a parcel on its wings.
Be careful how you open it,
Its full of precious things.
Inside - a million kisses,
Wrapped in a million hugs.
To tell you that we miss you,
And are sending all our love.

sleep tight mom xx

mom

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane.
I'd walk right up to heaven,
And bring you home again.


forever in my heart, all my love suzanne xx

mom

Mom your parting ws so sudden,
I sit and wonder why?
My heart still aches with sadness,
And tears still sometimes flow.
For what it meant to lose you,
No-one will ever know.
If I searched the whole world over,
Until the end of time.
I would never find another mom,
As wonderful as mine.
And if there is another life,
And i am born once more.
I pray that god will bring us back together, as before.
love you forever mom xx

Warmest wishes to you Joyce.

a letter sent from heaven

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...

but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.

Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.


Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.

Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me and He said, 'I welcome you.'


It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.

As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.

I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.

There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.'


God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.

And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.

God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.


When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years

because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.

Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.


I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.

But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.

I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.



There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;

but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...

that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.



If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,

then you can say to God at night......'My day was not in vain.'

And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,

knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.


So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,

just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;

I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.


And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,

remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
