This tribute is for Irene whittaker, who passed away on the 10th november 1998, she was 77 years of age, her late husband jack passed away in 1985, she has 2 sons the late David (Fell asleep 2004) and Derek, 2 Grand-Daughters Me (Leeanne) And Lisa (Born Asleep 1983). My nana Irene lived in darwen all her life not too sure of her occupation.
As far as i was told my nan passed away from Heart problems, and repeated strokes, but you cant quote me on that one because im not 100% sure.
My nan meant the world to me and when she passed away it was the worst thing that has ever happend to me miss her terribly still talk to her, sounds daft but thats what was good about my nan when you wanted someone to talk to she was always there for you , you could talk to her about anything, i used to enjoy going round on a saturday and baking with her when i was little and i remember making sausage rolls and dipping them into red sauce, and singing to jim reeves "bimbo" just hope my nan is smileing down on me and is proud of me.
Miss you nan love you loads.
My nan would be now a great-grandma to Chloe, im sure she is looking after the two that have passed peanut and swish. Im sure she will be looking down on on me. She'd also be happy at the choice of partner i have, hes a great guy nan and would done you proud. Love you loads. sleep in peace xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Below is a little passage i found and i liked it....
He Only Takes The Best
God saw they were their happiest and
someone would not let that be.
So He put his arms around them and whispered
"Come with Me".
With tear filled eyes we watched them,
suffer and fade away. Although we
loved them deeply, We could not
make them stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
NANA
I dreamed I met an Angel and, I swear she had your smile,
I heard the magic of your laugh, so I stopped to talk a while.
As I sat and faced this Angel, and looked at those bluest eyes,
I knew just what was happening, much to my surprise.
I clearly heard the prayers, and slippers on hard-wood floor,
I heard the tinkling bracelet, and I yearned to hear some more.
And then, for the briefest moment I was under the apple tree,
And snuggled in your arms, I sat upon your knee.
I want to stay right here, in my dream, upon your knee,
I want to take this moment and store it deep in me.
I want to talk with God, and tell him this isn't fair,
I need to have you smile at me...and gently smooth my hair.
I want to be that little girl who felt special in your sight,
I want to follow after you but I know that isn't right.
And then you help me see it, I have them; all these dreams,
You have tucked them deep inside of me, in all of us it seems.
They're there inside of all of us so we'll never be left alone,
For this is far from over,
God just called an Angel home.

My wings are spread, my pain is gone-Do grieve for me-but not for long.
For wondrous peace surrounds my flight-I’m gliding towards that ray of light.
So grieve for me but not for long-Remember blessings not the wrong.
My life was full and so complete-Although the end was bittersweet.
You brightened up my everyday…By things you’d do, by things you’d say.
I’ll miss my life with you on Earth, but know you gave my life it’s worth.
I’m gliding towards a perfect place-No pain or sorrow, only grace.
My wings are spread, I’m soaring strong…Do grieve for me, but not for long.
love theresa xxx

What Is a Nana?
A nana is warm hugs and sweet memories. She remembers all of your accomplishments and forgets all of your mistakes. She is someone you can tell your secrets and worries to, and she hopes and prays that all your dreams come true. She always loves you, no matter what. She can see past temper tantrums and bad moods, and makes it clear that they don't affect how precious you are to her. She is an encouraging word and a tender touch. She is full of proud smiles. She is the one person in the world who loves you with all her heart, who remembers the child you were and cherishes the person you've become.
Nana, In My Heart Forever More
I wonder as I watch the shore
will I miss my Nana less or more.
Sunshine attempts to blind my eyes
while dark clouds shed my tears.
The seagulls drown my lonely cries
to tell me you are near.
A rainbow shines a misty light
as it hides a child’s fear.
I need not wonder as before…
Nana, in my heart forever more.
A poem for nan
My Nana
She really is the best
And when she gave me cuddles
I know that I am blessed
We have lots of fun together
We like to laugh and play
She always made me smile
And can chase the grumps away
She was always there to help me
Or praise me if I’m good
She was always there to listen
If I feel misunderstood
She don’t mind if I make a mess
Or have sticky hands and feet
And I know if I am well behaved
I’ll get a little treat
Nana I love you lots
Thanks for all you do
And I hope that I grow up to be
As wonderful as you
Nana
Times with you are special
and all too quickly pass.
You fill my world with unending love
and memories that will last.
If I could pick a grandparent
there's no doubt what I would do,
I'd pick the kindest, sweetest one
and Nana it would be you!
Nana
Nana, you are special.
Your love knows no bounds.
A room takes on a special warmth
whenever you're around.
You think I'm cute and talented
and maybe, even wise.
But I know that's because all grandparents
see through loving eyes.
Every day with you is precious.
I'm so grateful for the time.
Of all the grandparents in the world
I'm thankful that you're mine.
