Hi Mema. We went to see Take That last night remember me and Mother bought them tickets at the beginning of the year. The seats were great. I have put some photos on here for you. Miss you. In the words of Take That's 'Pray' - 'All I do each night is pray, hoping that I will be a part of you again someday'.

It's seven long months since I last saw you I'm missing you so much.Christmas is soon approaching we've decided to abandon it this year as there won't be any fun or joy without you.Love you as always Big XXXX.

Some people come into our lives and quietly go. Others stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same. But the beauty of life does not depend on how happy you are, But on how happy others can be because of you. To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might just be the world.

Another day without you we are finding it hard but life must go on.Trying to busy ourselves doing everyday tasks.We love and miss you very much.Love Mother and Father xxxx

It's three short months since you've been gone, but it feels like a lifetime! You are in my thoughts every day, I love and miss you so much, God Bless.

The good times we spent will make us cheer. Our memories will last for many a year. The Wednesday you left, you made us cry, you never managed to say goodbye. Our wish for you is peace and rest, as a big sister you were the best.The friends you made are large in number, the joy you brought may nothing put asunder. As for Tracy,Linda,and me we are as proud of you as siblings can be xxx

Mema, there are so many things I want to tell you, just to fill you in with day to day life. You probably are near and know anyway. You never could handle surprises or secrets!! I miss you but I will keep you forever in my mind I promise x x x x

There is such a big hole left in our lives it is so quiet without you I miss our chats and our arguments that we had from time to time and the jokes we shared.I wish you were here right now making me laugh or me telling you off for being rude.Speak to you soon.

Hello Mema hope you are ok, we all love and miss you, and think of you every day. Love mother xxx

It's 9pm , the time I usually speak to Mema. I've had my usual cup of tea and I'm ready for bed I wish her sweet dreams it helps me to relax knowing she is safe.

This is Laura...I met Maria through her little sister Linda, and I'm glad I did!! In the first minutes of meeting her she had me cracking up, without even meaning to, she just had that way about her that when she talked she just made me laugh. There is always one story that reminds me of Maria that always makes me laugh. When Maria learnt to send texts to the house phone, and she was sending me and Linda all sorts of hilarious messages (none that can be repeated on here) and Linda was getting annoyed because she was trying to do my nails... remember Lind???? Anyway, I would just like to say Maria I miss you, the Lee household isn't the same without you! Also, you'd be really proud of Linda, how well she's coping.

Mema was such a great part of my life, my niece, my mate, like the child I never had! Always made me laugh!
