This site is in honour of my very wonderful mum!

Elizabeth Gibbs. But she was known as Liz. To me though she was my Mum she had another daughter
Danielle and me to our dad david, she lived with him for nearly 20 years, but they sadly seperated
but was still so close which was so comforting.

Liz was only 39 when she sadly passed away on 20th january 2008 at around 1pm in the afternoon at
pinderfields hospital in wakefield. Liz dyed of a brain Haemorrhage. It was a very sudden death and
a painful day for all of her family. Liz was her normal happy self and then she just collapsed and
didn't wake up, they was nothing wrong with liz, she was a healthy women who just literally woke up
and was having her morning coffe. Liz was on the heart machines for about 3 hours while they did a
CT scan which confirmed that blood had got to the brain and they was nothing no one could do, so
they decided to turn the machines off. We all took it in turns to say our goodbye's. Me and Danielle
just held her hand and told her she was a beatiful and wonderful mum and we love her so much. Liz
was only young and i miss her so much, not a day goes by where i dont talk of my mum and her life.
She is in my heart always.

For Liz's friends and family, i know that they miss her and love Her, she was a wonderful freind,
very down to earth and told it like it is.
Liz is with her mum in the skies now and i know that she is happy and safe. Her dad misses her so
much and he thinks of her everyday. My dad will always love liz, he grew up with her sharing his
life with her. Liz is in everyones heart.


For me personally loosing my mum, my best friend and my soul mate too me..its indescribable no words
can help the pain that i feel, with it been so sudden i cant get my head round it all, i think she
will call, she will call but im still waiting. The day of the funeral i thought 'oh maybe it will
click" nope. Still waiting!
I miss her so much all the little memories of her laughter, her crazy taste in chav music, always
trying to beat me and my sister with better phones, her collection of mcdonalds happy meal toys and
her passion to make sure no matter how hard she tryed that me and danielle was happy. All that i now
hold soo close to my heart and smile as i think about the times. I find pictures hard to look at
sometimes, but then i need too, because one day that face i will forget and it will break my heart,
i need to see her everyday even if its through a picture. She was my mate as well as my mum and my
god i miss her, i will never forget one bit of her, because thats what gets me through my day. I
just want to hear that giggle!
I love you mum and miss you more as each day passes, life without you just wont be the same. I need
you, i actually do.

For the people that have lost loved on to what my mum dyed of, then my heart goes out too you, and
for people that have lost loved ones for many other reasons again my heart goes out..The pain is
unbelievable and the heartache will never stop, but we have people that are there for us and we have
our lives to live, because that how it goes no matter how cruel life gets, thats how it works. We
will all be with the ones we love again soon and then we can live on again..I hope for all those
angels that look down on us all daily see we love miss and care for them even more...

Sleep tight mum! Love You XxX


To the rest of the angel...God Bless X

Legacy of Love

A Wife, a Mother, a Grandma too,
This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.

A stronger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a wife not just as a Mother.

For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you've earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts, we'll eternally keep

When a mom goes on to Heaven
She leaves behind a prayer
She asks the Lord to comfort
And keep loved ones in His care.
She knows someday she’ll see them
It’s why she could bear to go.
Her love runs ever deeper
Don’t you know?

So when the sun shines on your face
And a breeze blows you a kiss,
It might just be your Mother
Letting you know how much you’re missed.
A gentle sweet reminder
To let you know that you are dear
Her thoughts of you a prayer
That keeps her near.

Hello Mum...

Its going to fast is this life without you. Time goes no where without you. Its been just over a year and life doesnt get any easier. Its mothers day sunday and im going to miss showing up with a huge bunch of flowers a cheesey card and a hug. Ill be thinking of you and our little memories that get me by. Its your birthday too soon..41 id say your getting old but your not. Life suppose to just be starting for you. I hope you celebrate with all your loved ones in the skies above. Ill be thinking of you as always.
It breaks my heart everyday when i reaslise that you are not here and how you are missing out on so much that is going on. I want you with me shoutin at me telling me im doing it all wrong or smiling proudly as i do it right. I never actually told you just how much i needed you in my life but i dont think i actually realised until it was too late. I love you more then any words can every describe and i miss you o much that my heart aches when i think of you. I laugh about how you was in life and try and keep a smiling face going. I try still be my crazy self when talking to you because you didnt die to me you just moved on. Someone else needed you. And i know deep down one day ill see you soon, you'll be waiting at the pearly white gates when i show up and i cant wait. Although no rush like. Im only young.
I hope and pray that you are happy and settled and that you look down and see how grown up i have become. I love and miss you mum with all my heart forever more. Lauren x

Loving mum

Who held our hand when we were lost?
Told us winter stories about Jack Frost?
Or made each meal a special treat?
And cooked us our favourite sweet?

That first day at school, who cried first?
Whose eyes into tears did burst?
And then later, to greet us full of smiles?
Not showing any of motherhood’s trials?

Who quietly told us of the birds and bees?
Not the ones that fly in trees.
Prepared us for our adulthood life,
Warned us of joy, happiness and strife.

The day we left home as a husband or wife,
Who with a tear wished us a happy new life?
To remind us that in life there is fun,
And to never forget, our loving mum . . .

Love you

If I could choose someone to be my friend I’d choose you
And haven’t I been doubly blessed that you’re my mother too!


When the world seems too much to bear
And I need someone to lighten my load
You always see some goodness or way out, no matter what the road


You offer me the best advice and a sympathetic ear
You’re practical and comforting that’s why I hold you dear


You’re the first one with the tissues
First one with champagne
I hope you’ll never ever change
And always stay the same


I haven’t been the best of daughters
I haven’t always done as you taught us


But you gave me the freedom to learn from my mistakes
And I had the chance to turn around just before it was too late


I just want to finish with a very special prayer
I hope love and happiness will be with you everywhere

My Mum

Mother you were the nicest, you were always there for me
You sung me nursery rhymes as you bounced me on your knee
You did everything that you could for me then left me on my own
The angels wanted you with them so they came and took you home
No one could ask more from their mum than what you did for me
Every day you gave me time, our closeness all could see
You cuddled and cherished me as a mother always does
Supported me in everything and often gave me a shove
You wiped my tears when I cried and laughed at all my ways
I reminded you of you when you were in your youthful days
I know I tried you with my moments as every child does
When life can get too much to bear in all the tear and rush
But you were there for me whenever I needed you
Sadly I never told you just how much I loved you too
And now it is too late, for your arms I can no longer feel
I should have told you when I could that my love for you was real.
