As I read through the bible,Irene,it always makes me feel so much closer to you.I remember at your home,there was always a bible open.You were so true to God,you inspired me to get closer with God too.Thankyou Irene,for being the light in the dark.I sit here with tears welling up,I miss you so much its crazy.I miss you dearly,because I am so grateful that we met.I am sorry you suffered so much those last years,you inspired me,how patient and strong you seemed,and when you didn't feel strong you were the first to admit it.I remember once you telling me that you shouted at God for having cloth ears...still makes me smile and chuckle to myself. You would be so proud of the boys Irene,they love their bibles so very much. I am taking them swimming shortly Irene,they are going to learn to swim this year. Mike is well,he sends his love to you,I hope u are dancing in heaven dear dear soul. you always said to me that death must be wondeful,so great that no one wants to come back to tell about it :) I hope your passing over was smooth,and I hope you are a free spirit dear Irene. seeing you put to the ground was one of the most painful experiences,as much as we knew you would have to go.I pray for Heather and Andrew Irene,and the children,how you loved them so so very much.You loved all children so very very much.You were the only one who remembered Joshua and you were the only one who was on my side..thankyou for giving me faith when I thought all was gone...you saved my life in so many ways Irene,you gave me life again.I remember those visits to your house..its almost as if I am there.The tears are falling,but I bless every tear,for every tear is a tear of love and thanks. I love you Irene,you always used to say ''God bless you''and your hugs could tuern a man blue!!!hehehehe :) thanks for those blessings,thanks for those hugs..thankyou for loving us Irene xxxx

hello Irene it's great to come here and connect with you.I need your help,I am sure you have seen our family is feeling a little ruffled,it's times like this that I miss having a wise God loving mother like yourself.I love you so very much.Ok at times we came head to head,we were both very firm and very stubborn.But you always loved us. you treated my children like the angels that they are,you saw the best in people always. You cared.I am so grateful that you cared and shared.I shall spend the day with you today and every day.I remember when you came to our house,and helped us through a very challenging time,you know,the moment you said ''it's ok,you are not alone'',you lifted my heart.You even came to the house even though you were so ill.You were always honest,when you had something to say,you said it :)I am so grateful to you. I miss our chats,we had awesome chats,we could chat for hours couldn't we :) I am sorry I didn't stay longer at the hospital,I didn't realise you would slip away so soon. It was so strange seeing you in intensive care.I am so glad you are free now.I wonder where and how you are,do you remember us,are you ever with us...Finn saw the image of my mum as we wealked through the church many months ago.strange how I miss the mother who was never really a mother. I have made so many mistakes Irene,and I appreciate your love and strength as each day I devote to being more loving. more caring,more creative...I love you Irene,I know you know that.xx

Hello Irene I know you know how much I have been thinking about you,I feel you so very close. Heather comes to visit on a Tuesday,she reminds me so much of you,us,the relationship we shared. She even has the look of you. I really miss you so very much,I appreciate that no matter what was happening in my life,you always loved me without condition.You taught me about a loving God,you taught me that love exsisted.At a time I thought it did not exsist,you were always there proving to me and to many that love does grow. My eyes are streaming,just to have a hug with you again,to hear your voice would be a joy.Thankyou for all those times,thankyou for loving Mike and the boys.Thankyou for everything. And even now I always feel you so very close.I am going through the bible with Heather,I know you are proud of me,I can feel it. My focus now Irene is God and what God wants me to give. Thankyou for teaching me about God,and for showing me that God exsists...I LOVE you xxx
