Millicent Agnes Clarke known as Millie
✮ ✰ ☆ ★✮ ✰ ☆ ★✮ ✰ ☆ ★✮ ✰ ✮
My Nana died on the 27th of april, she had various jobs including working in a shoe box factory
and at the dunlop tyre factory where she met and married my grandad Leslie John Clarke,
unfortunately they separated before i was born.
Nana lived in the new parks area of leicester then moved onto braunstone then finally onto the
sherrads road.
mother to four children Sheila (my mum),Doris (aka Dolly) David & Kevin (wombat)
Millie had around 8-9 siblings, which included Ernie, Mick & Elizabeth
she has two grandchildren myself & millie-anne, (named after her nana)
whose twelve

Nana was a lovely woman who always used to help out her elderly neighbours.
she had a little dog by the name of tina but everybody called her tt, she doted on tina and always
had her by her side.
Being the only grandchild while she was alive she doted on me, i loved going to spend the weekends
with her, i remember her always taking me to the park at the end of her street and then onto the
shops.
my most favourite photo is of me on her knee, when i find it i will put it on here.
Nana liked to knit i remember she made me cardigans one lilac and the other which was white... i
wore that for my christening.
I was never allowed to call her grandma...she said it made her feel old!
the day before she was taken ill we had been into town to spend the money my uncle had given me for
easter, i bought an erasure tape which will now always remind me of her whenever i hear one of their
songs!
✰ ☆ ★✮ ✰ ☆ ★✮ ✰ ☆ ★✮ ✰ ☆ ★
Nana had a stroke on easter sunday 2002 i shared a bed with her but didnt notice her sitting on the
floor when i woke up, it was my mum who found her with me close behind her, even tho she couldn't
speak she still tried to get me out of the room.... she didnt want me to see her like that.
she was rushed to hospital and spent her 65th birthday there.
Nana never went to the doctor's she should have done as she had a massive lump on her neck which we
found out was a goiter which in the end eventually caused her to lose her life.
I will never forget the day she died... it was my 1st day back to school after the holidays my dad
met me on the way home,i dropped my things off at home then we both went to the lri on the back of
his motorbike.
My nana died around 10pm that night with all her family by her side.

Dear Angel
I know you are busy with the good things you do
But if you could spare time I’d be grateful to you
To seek out in Heaven the one that I miss
And give Nana my letter sealed with a kiss.
It wasn’t her fault that she had to go
Tell her don’t worry and please let her know
That I had a Nana who was one of a kind
And she’ll always be in my heart and my mind
So please read to Nana the words in my letter
And tell her I love her and hope she is better
And just one more thing if it’s not too much trouble
Could you kindly reach out and give Nana a cuddle.
☆ ★✮ ✰ ☆ ★✮ ✰ ☆ ★✮ ✰ ✮ ✰ ☆

NANA
Your gone in person,
But never at heart,
I know were not together,
But were never apart,
I cant bring you back,
Or turn back the time,
I guess i'll be strong,
And for you i will shine,
If tears could build a stairway
And a memory lane
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back home again
The tears on my pillow
I cried for you last night
I wish you were my pillow
That i squeezed forever tight
I miss you now more than ever
In my heart you'll stay forever
I Love You
☆ ★✮ ✰ ☆ ★✮ ✰ ☆ ★✮ ✰ ✮ ✰ ☆
However good the memories
they always make me weep
i've cryed a million tear drops
since the day you went to sleep
While you dear NANA
rest and sleep
Your loving Memory
We'll always Keep
Loving Thoughts Of You Always
☆ ★✮ ✰ ☆ ★✮ ✰ ☆ ★✮ ✰ ✮ ✰ ☆
No words I write can ever say
how much I miss you everyday.
As time goes by, the loneliness grows,
How I miss you, nobody knows.
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name.
But all I have are memories,
And a photo in a frame.
No one sees me weep.
But the love I have for you,
Is in my heart, and mine to keep.
I have never stopped loving you
and I know I never will.
Deep inside my heart,
You are with me still.
Heartaches, this world are many,
But mine is worse than any.
My heart still aches, as I whisper low,
"I need you... and miss you so."
The things we feel so deeply
are often the hardest things to say.
But I just can't keep quiet anymore,
So I'll tell you any ways.
There is a place within my heart
that no one else can fill.
I love you and I always will!
☆ ★✮ ✰ ☆ ★✮ ✰ ☆ ★✮ ✰ ✮ ✰ ☆
Do you make them laugh in heaven,
Does your smile bring them good cheer?
Do you make the sun shine brighter,
Like you did when you were here?
You meant so very much to us,
There's nothing left to say,
Except that without you here
There is no perfect day.
We want to tell you something
So there wont be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.....

Quietly I Weep
By Lyndie Sorenson
Although I seem to hide it
My sorrow's still so deep
Missing you in silence
Quietly I weep
I long to see your smile
Hear your laughter, hug you tight
But you're no longer with me
You've headed toward the light
I'm sure you are quite happy
Here on earth I miss you so
Asking that same question
Why was it you that had to go?
I am sure there is an answer...
One that might make sense
When others offer reasons
I'm just on the defence
If they could understand me
Know how hard life is with grief
Just hold my hand and listen...
That would be a great relief
Although I seem to hide it
My sorrow's still so deep
Missing you in silence...
Quietly I weep

♥ Only we who grieve ♥
♥ Tis only we who grieve
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ They look upon us still
♥ They walk among the valleys now
♥ They stride upon the hill
♥ Their smile is in the summer sky
♥ Their grace is in the breeze
♥ Their memories whisper in the grass
♥ Their calm is in the trees
♥ Their light is in the winter snow
♥ Their tears are in the rain
♥ Their merriment runs in the brook
♥ Their laughter in the lane
♥ Their gentleness is in the flowers
♥ They sigh in autumn leaves
♥ They do not leave
♥ They are not gone
♥ tis only we who grieve.

♥ I Believe ♥
(Written By Skip Ewing and Donny Keyes Copyright 2002)
(Song performed by Diamond Rio)
Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And it's like you haven't been gone
A moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holding you and me
And with all my heart I'm sure
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see
I've got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, I believe
That when you die your life goes on
It doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends and if I'm right
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe, I believe
Forever you're a part of me
Forever in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
The people who don't see the most
Say that I believe in ghosts
And if that makes me crazy
Then I am
'Cause I believe, oh I believe
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, oh I believe
Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And I believe
'Cause I believe, oh I believe.

☼ The Sea and the Beach ☼
(Tessa Wilkinson)
The sea seems to illustrate pain and sorrow so well
It comes in and goes out
For a while it is there, overwhelming, covering everything
Then slowly the tide turns and it withdraws
For a while we can see the beauty of the shells, the seaweed
We can rejoice in the patterns in the sand
We can feel the corrugated ripples under our feet
Alive to what is around, and beyond
But then the tide turns and again it is all washed away, all overwhelmed
We feel like the crashing of the waves on rocks
Raw and out of control
Full of anger and rage
Battered and bruised
Tossed about like flotsam floating wherever we are thrown
There are so many questions. Why now? Why her?
But no answers
Then the sea calms and gently the waves lap the rocks
We are soothed and the inner turmoil is calmed
In time we can learn to move up the beach as the tide comes in
Out of its reach
Not to be overwhelmed
The pain is still there, but in control
We can recognise the pain
Revisiting the sadness
Acknowledging how much the person is missed
We learn to turn away and look to the future
Knowing the person will always be part of us
Always loved and always remembered.

~ Immeasurable (by Sean Ashcroft) ~
Laughter will still sound,
even though you’re gone.
But the decibels will dip,
with some smiles, painted on.
Hopes will still soar,
dreams float on high.
But the altitude will drop,
as will the supply.
Passion will still drive us,
desire wave us off.
But the revs will decline
and the engine might cough.
Time will be bejewelled,
lives lit by waltzing light.
But the carats will diminish,
its brilliance a lesser sight.
Yet memories have no volume,
love no mass nor weight.
These will broaden, widen, deepen,
a true measure of something great.
*♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥* *♥*
~ Life Beyond ~
Let them go, but not completely.
Hold on to them, but not too tightly.
Love them as you know you will,
as you always have.
Rejoice that they are well, the only difference
now is that you cannot see them,
But you feel them still and they will always be with you.
The spirit does not die as the body dies
and Love is of the spirit.
Nothing you have experienced together can be taken from you.
And your loved one shall be eternally yours in that love.
Weep not too long, that they may also cry,
But rejoice in their life and in yours also.
Let yours continue to be a celebration of all life; of your shared love,
Knowing that God holds you both in the palm of his hand
And in loving you both shall reunite you.

•♥ Heaven ♥•
A silver thread that keeps me near
To those I love and hold so dear,
Will someday slip, and I'll swim free.
A soul afloat in a bounteous sea.
I'll also soar in maddening glee,
To places unseen by you and me.
Through darkest night and brightest day,
I'll fly to a far and magical bay.
In ethereal havens of love and peace,
My God-given life will never cease.
The passing of time will be obsolete ...
Travelling the auras, no great feat.
Don't you grieve, notice the sound
Of my songs to you with love abound.
I'll never leave you, don't you see?
I'll live with you, eternally!

ღ♥ღ Till Healing Comes ღ♥ღ
My heart is closing deep inside
from all the pain I feel;
while others are so full of joy
my hurt feels very real.
I want to find a bit of light
but part of me feels dead,
and though I see the joy around
my soul is sad instead.
It's hard to enter deeply in
when you're no longer here.
It's like the lights have all gone out
and won't be lighting up this year.
And so this year I must be
just how it is I am.
So that soon my heart can heal
I'll do the best I can.
The only thing that I can do
is to stay present in the now,
to feel my grieving pain
and trust I'll heal somehow.
As this year gently comes
and as my heart is torn in two.
I'll open just a little bit
as I'm deeply missing you.
I'll trust the gift of life that's here
and trust that I'm ok,
and be with how it is right now...
..till healing comes my way.

♥═══♥ HOMEWARD BOUND ♥═══♥
The Lord woke up this morning with so much work to do
so many plans He has to make before the day is through.
He gathers all his angels. They stand close by his side
as each receive their saintly chores they spread their wings and fly.
The Lord looked up and realized his angels all were gone.
With so much work still left to do, He'd hire a new one on.
A million applications now lie upon his desk.
He reads each one so carefully until he finds the best.
Someone with all the qualities it takes to keep their faith.
Someone who seemed to always have a smile upon their face.
Someone who always tried to give a hand to those in need.
Unselfish love was all she knew, no room was left for greed.
And now the Lord has made his choice. He'll come for her today.
With wings that God alone can give, He smiles and flies away.
A single, fallen feather lies softly on the ground.
A sign sent down from heaven, Angel wings are homeward bound.
