She would have been 99 in May, which is so hard to believe. It was selfishness on my part - willing her to live to be 100! It feels to me like I have been 'severed' from my mum for the 2nd time in my life!
I am thankful that I went to see her yesterday in the hospital for the last time & she is now reunited with her own mum who died giving birth to her. A remarkable lady of determination and strength. My mum the Iron Lady.
She will have her 'dying wish' - a coach and horses for her funeral. My mum is going out in style. Ü Bless her...She has waited 98 years for this.
Being that she - and myself and 2 other siblings were born in Fulham and are Fulham football supporters, we shall be having a black and white themed funeral. It's gonna be a ball!

Oh I'm so very sorry to hear this, my thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time.
My Dad was a huge Fulham fan and I printed out the FFC badge and we stuck it on his coffin.
God bless her and yourselves at this sad time Glen. When I first saw the picture on my blogger feed I thought it was already her birthday again. I am so sorry to hear your sad news.
Kinda like the horse drawn carriage idea though. Knowing you through UKS you will give her a great send - off.
Love and best wishes to you.
