My Auntie Mina was a real lady, she loved life & enjoyed nothing more than being surrounded by her family. Her 6 kids, James, Donald, Ally, Helen, Jack & angela will miss her dearly. Auntie Mina, I know you will be happy where you are as your back in the arms of your beloved husband Donnie. God bless you & i know all the family agree it was a priviledge to call you a mum, gran, great gran, sister & Auntie xxxx
THIS WAS READ AT AUNTIE MINA'S FUNERAL.
The Final Flight
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found that peace at the end of the day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things too I will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one' touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
REST IN PEACE AUNTIE MINA XX
Happy Birthday
It's your Birthday today and I am thinking about you as always. Still missing you and think about you every day, miss talking to you on the phone everyday and my visits to Aberdeen where we had many shopping trips in to town. Jackxxxxx
Mothers day
Hi Ma
Our second mothers day without you, it doesnt get any easier just gets harder. I miss talking to you on the phone everyday and your company when I come to Aberdeen. We are all coping as best as we can. Hughie has now joined you lot up there, I am sure you know that he passed almost a year to your anniversary, Its 6 years tomorrow on mothers day since Paul passed on to the spirit world - how time flies I am sure Angie will be sad tomorrow as its mothers day and Pauls anniversary. Always in my thoughts ma. LOL Jack xx
in memory of my sister
No one knew that morning,
What sorrow that day would bring
When a heart of gold stopped beating
And we couldn'tdo a thing
We never got to say goodbye
Perhaps it;s just as well
For how could we have said goodbye
To someone we loved so well
can'tbelieve it's a year gone already it seems just like yesterday we were talking on the phone you have been missed at all the family parties you enjoyed them so much i still miss you so much love to you all

Our first Christmas without you
Hi Ma,
It's nearly Christmas, and I know how much that meant to you . The tree was up and the decorations were always up on the 1st December. You were always prepared well in advance and had everyones Christmas present wrapped before I had even started. Just wanted you to know that every year you always asked me what I wanted for Xmas and I told you time and time again that I didnt want you to buy me anything as I dont look for much presents and dont expect much as I always want the kids to get before me and lets face it I buy what i want myself, but you were the only person who ever had a surprise parcel for me and I never knew what was in your parcel but you know what ma this year I will miss that present as it was the only surprise I had to look forward to on Xmas day. Missing you more than ever especially at this time of year it will be a lonely Christmas without you. I only hope that you and da are enjoying Xmas together up ther and shining down on all of us with all your love. Missing you more than you will ever imagine. LOL Jack xxx
One Year later
It's a year since you came out to Tenerife with me and Pat and I am so glad that at least you enjoyed your holiday so much. You were in the pool every morning when I lay in my bed being lazy, you put me to shame as you had so much energy and I cant believe that 4 months later you were gone. I am taking Angie and Bob out with me next week and I am sure you will be looking down and laughing at us cause we probably wont be brave enough to go into the pool as it is usually freezing in the water at this time of the year and plus you know us girls dont like getting our hair wet. You still dominate my thoughts everyday, love you, and miss you always - Daughter Jack xxx
You're not there anymore
Hi Ma
Still think about you everyday. I still miss your calls everyday and when the phone rings I have to pinch myself as I forget that the call will not be from you. I don't think I will be going to Aberdeen as much now as it doesn't feel the same as I always spent my time in Aberdeen with you and enjoyed the weekends I took Kayla to stay as it was an opportnity for me to see my grand-daughter and have her for the weekend. Trying to get on with things as best as I can. Thinking about you always

Hello Auntie Mina, this is my 1st visit to your GTS
memorial. When I saw your photo it caught my breath.
Still hard to believe your gone and wont be down for
Nialls 1st communion in May. There hasn't been a
family party in Glasgow without you for years - it will be strange.
You really were special you had the biggest smile and
you were always happy to see everyone when you came down to visit. You are such an important part of our
family and we will never stop missing you.
Our only consolation is that your back with Uncle Donnie - the love of your life.
Rest peacefully in Gods garden,its well deserved. You really were a star.
God bless - your neice Ann Marie xxx
MUM - I READ THIS AT YOU AND DAS GRAVESIDE WHEN WE LAID YOU BOTH TO REST
For all those times you stood by us
For all the truth that you made us see
For all the joy you brought to our lives
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love we found in you
We'll be forever thankful mum
You're the one who held us up
Never let us fall
You're the one who saw us through through it all
You were our strength when we were weak
You were our voice when we couldn't speak
You were our eyes when we couldn't see
You saw the best there was in us
Lifted us up when we couldn't reach
You gave us faith 'coz you believed
We’re everything we are
Because you loved us
You were always there for us
The tender wind that carried us
A light in the dark shining your love into our lives
You've been our inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
Our world is a better place because of you
(lyrics to Celine Dion - Because you Loved Me)
ps I hope you were listening as every word was true and i found it so hard to say as i was very choked up with emotion. Da meant the same to us xx
