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.....
Death is just another step
Along life’s changing way,
No more than just a gateway
To a new and better day.
And parting from our loved ones
Is much easier to bear,
When we know that they are waiting
For us to join them there.
So death is just a natural thing
Like the closing of a door,
As we start upon a journey
To a new and distant shore.
And none need make this journey
Undirected or alone,
For God promised us safe passage
To this vast and great unknown.
So let your grief be softened,
And yield not to despair,
You have only placed your loved one
In the loving Father’s care.

♥Softly As We Leave You♥
(Author Unknown)
Life is so uncertain, this we all may know....
No one knows the time or day,
when they'll have to go.
Though now our time has come to leave you
to face this world alone...
These promises we make you,
to give you strength to carry on.
When the sunlight awakens you,
we'll be there too.
When the moon shines on your pillow...
we'll be shining on you.
We'll be in the cooling breeze,
as it rustles through the trees..
we'll be in the pouring rain,
as it hits your window pane.
When darkness dims your vision,
close your eyes and look above
we'll be standing right beside you.
You will always have our love
May peace and comfort be upon you..
hold close our memories
For in our hearts we know that
no matter where you go...
Is where we'll always be.

The White Chariot
(Julie Johnson)
During your journey on your final flight home.
White wings will carry you and you will be flown.
To the pearly gates of Heaven, where they will usher you in.
To the feet of your Lord, your Saviour, and your friend.
He will hold you in his arms and the angels will sing.
As another one of His children is delivered by white wings.

~ In My Mind (by Jenn Farrell) ~
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
I'll see you standing there,
You look at me with a smile
"Life isn't always fair."
You say you were chosen for His garden
His preciously hand picked bouquet,
"God really needed me
That's why I couldn't stay."
It's said to be that angels
Are sent from above,
I've always had my angel
Whose heart was filled with love.
Wherever the ocean meets the sky,
There will be memories of you and I.
When I look up at that sky so blue,
All I see are visions of you.
"While there's a heart in me, you'll be a part of me."

♥ The Promise ♥
(by Diane Robertson)
Of angel wings and heavenly things
There’s very little known,
For those who have the answers
Are, forever, from us gone.
Life in the hereafter,
In faith, I must accept;
Thoughts that trouble not the people
With families still intact.
But, those of us who’ve travelled
Down the lonely path of grief,
Are forever seeking answers
To the riddle, which is life.
We trek through shadowed forests
Past the ugly shroud of death,
Toward a promise for the future
Of a kinder, better place.
So, we look to see the angel wings
And listen for the hymn
That God will send to guide us
When we leave to be with Him.

❁ The Tapestry of Life ❁
(Author Unknown)
"Tis said that old Time is a shuttle,
Swift weaving the web of our days;
In and out fly fast speeding moments
Thro' the warp and the wool of earth's maze.
***************************************
At times all the colors seem sombre,
Again there are dashes of bright;
Anon all life's threads knot and tangle,
And only defects meet our sight,
***************************************
Full often we stand and in wonder
We gaze at the unveiling loom,
Which hides the design of the fabric
Until we have reached the dark tomb.
***************************************
Only this do we know that the groundwork,
Thro' which the bright colors are twined,
Is woven of charity's fibers,
Which serve the threads closely to bind.
***************************************
And when the last thread has been broken,
And the loom is forever at rest,
We shall see that our life's great Designer,
Knew what for His children was best.

High Flight.
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of; wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hovering there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air;
Up, up the long delirious burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace,
Where never lark nor even eagle flew;
And while, with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high, un-trespassed sanctity of space
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
(by John Gillespie McGee)

When we are in need of comfort
We walk down memory lane,
There we see you smiling
We talk with you again,
And as we wander slowly back
We seem to hear you say
Don't grieve. don't cry, my family,
We'll meet again some day.
(◡‿◡✿)
I am now in Heaven,
The gates have opened wide,
And now I have the privilege
Of walking by His side.
The angel choir is singing
And the music is so sweet;
I'll join them just as soon
As I have worshiped at His feet.
I am now in Heaven,
The blood washed throng is here;
I recognize a lot of them,
There's not a single tear.
There's joy beyond description
And reunions by the score;
There'll be no more separations,
For we'll be here evermore.
I am now in Heaven,
Please wipe away your tears;
I've fought the battle, run the race,
And I'm rid of all my fears.
There is no pain or sorrow here,
The heartaches now are past;
I've read and sung of Heaven,
And now I'm here at last!
I am now in Heaven,
And oh, this place is grand!
No one could have ever told me
Of all the beauty in this land.
Since I cannot describe it,
You'll have to come and see
That it was worth the many trials
To live here for all eternity!
