Your Memories

Chris was the most loving person you could ever hope to meet.
For the 49 years I was with her she never had a bad word for anyone. She was born to care and spent her whole life doing so.
Her family was the most important to her, followed closely by her extended family, the "babies" of The Donald Thomas Centre.
She gave so much love and care and thought nothing of spending 17 hours preparing the Centre for Christmas Dinner, 3 days every year.
With the holidays, in Newquay and the Annual Tea Treat she would do anything to make anyone's life just that little bit better.
It took her hours to walk through Camborne because she was known and loved by so many people and she always had time to talk.
Thousands of miles away, on our holiday to New York, she was no different she would talk and laugh with complete strangers and no one minded because of the person she was.
I miss her so much and wish she was still with me. I have so many wonderful memories but would swap them all just to have her wonderful smile in front of me again.
A beautiful, caring and loving LADY

Hard to know where to start really. My Mum was my world, always there no matter how much trouble i was in, and she always refused to give up on me! When ever anything went wrong I could count on Mum to be there and say the right thing!
She will always be remembered for the love and time she gave to people anything to make someone feel special and in the last few weeks i've began to realise that she has touched a huge amount of peoples hearts.
Not a day goes by Mum when your not thought or spoke about - I would give anything and everything to have you back here where you belong Mum :-)
I'll always be proud of everything you achieved in your 63 years and hope I can be just a small percent of the person you were.
Love Always

The words above capture all my thoughts just to add she was mad never shut up did stupid things drove me mad was scatty and once hit me with a sauce pan her flapjack was used by the tarmackers and if you ever told her you liked a certain food you got it for weeks but i would put up with all that for another 5 mins with her you dont miss someone like my mum she leaves a whole void in your life however go on we must and remember that for every person we smile out and every person we say hello to it makes her smile when she takes a break from cleaning the pearlly gates not sure if letting her where a westham top was the right decision though as they play worse now honest :-0

I Loved my nan. She was funny,caring,happy and the best nan in the world. She would always keep people smiling and if anything was a problem she would always sort it out! I will always miss her but she is always in my heart. No one will ever replace her. I miss her now and for ever. I will try and be as caring and loving as she was but no one can do that because my nan was the greatest and no one could steal her personality not even me. I will always miss you nanny but we had tons of great memories, and i think you are still here looking after me as the most wonderful nan you are. I love you so much x x x x x x x x x

Dear Chris
It was a privilege to have known you. You made me feel you were my best friend because that was you. You were a very special lady, a one off. I wish I could be more like you in many ways.
I miss you and our little chats.
Love, kisses and hugs Veric xx
