Loved and missed by so many Wendy! xxx
We love you Wendy, always and forever. xxxxx
Wendy, my only and 'big' sister, was born on Valentines Day. She was Mum to Rebecca Charlotte who was born in 1992. Both her and Dave were so very proud of their daughter.
Wendy worked in a Dental practice, she was a qualified Dental Nurse. She had worked in dentistry since she left school at 16. She had so many friends that she had made through her work. They were like family to her. Even when she was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer her work was an 'escape' for her. She loved the banter with clients and work colleages, it gave her a different focus. She was always laughing and joking, and she could light up a room with her prescence.
She always looked amazing. She had a great sense of style and elegance. Other women have said that the always felt 'abit scruffy' next to Wendy, she just had that edge!
Wendy was a fantastic 'planner' be it Christmas or birthdays, she went that extra mile to make people feel special, and to get things right.
She made cards, decorated cakes (some times rude ones) but always to perfection. She had a passion for shoes and handbags. Radley bags had become an obsession with her. She had over a dozen, I believe. She bought me three, I love them!
She was generous with time, money and thought! When I was diagnosed with cancer, even though she had been classed as terminal with hers she was there for me every step of the way. She sent me little cards to arrive the morning of each of my chemo sessions. For the first one she sent me a silver bracelet with a red glass heart charm on it. Yep, she made me cry...when I opened it.I wear it every day, never take it off!
Her thoughtfulness was immense. We helped each other through rough times, her love and kindness will stay with me forever!
Her family were all with her when she could fight no more, except my two sons. They never got to say Goodbye to their Aunty, whom they loved and thought so much of.
I feel so proud of my sister when I talk to others about her, she was everything I wish I could be, but never will.
I promised her I would help to look after her daughter, and I will, as best as I can. Wendy only ever wanted the best in life for her, sadly the most important lady in her life has been taken away. I can not replace her but I will do all I can for her.
I have only touched on some of the lovely things about my sister. How much our Mum loved her goes without saying, to loose your child - no matter what age is just the worst thing life can throw at you. I am not sure if Mum will recover...we will support each other the best we can.Its a matter of readjusting, I suppose.
We would have many a great night out, we loved especially going to Charity Balls, getting our lovely ball gowns on and having lots of champagne and dancing, Wend loved to dance. That made a great night out for us. But we didnt need to be out to dance, many nights we were together we would just dance in the kitchen, lounge, outside we didnt care. We just messed about, kitchen utensils for 'microphones'.
I could go on for ever here but I just want to say that I love her so very much.
I am always thinking of her, I would of offered to take her place, but she would never of let me.
She had come to terms and peace that she was going to die.....what courage and strength she showed.
I hope that people, family and friends will take comfort from this site. Please light a candle for her. After all she loved candles so much.
'a girl can never have too many shoes, bags, diamonds or candles'.
Love you Wend, till we meet again!!
Your 'little sister',
Becky.

We ran and played and shared our toys...
How I remember childhood joys.
We shared a home with Mum and Dad...
These memories now make me glad.
I looked to you when times were bad...
You saw my face when it was sad.
We see each other less these days, but...
You'll be close to me always.
I've loved you Sister from the start...
The ties that bind are in the heart!
xxxx
3 Years!!!
Well Wend, three years on! It doesnt seem possible that you have been gone from me for that long!
I miss your calls, your texts, the notes and cards you would send...for no reason just because you could!
Everyday is just weird without you being 'there'!
I worry, because I struggle to remember your voice, your laugh...and I never want to forget these things! I will get you flowers for your tree today. I wish I had a 'final resting place' to leave flowers and to come to see you.
People say it is not important, that you are always with me.....why dont I feel you then????
I will never see you ever again....and thats what hurts...I cant get used to that, you know!
God bless you my darling.....I will have a glass of something in the evening...and raise a toast to you. The best sister, the only sister, my big sister Wendy.
Loving you always Wend
Becky xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Goodbye.
Goodbye, we will meet again
In some pastures new
Tears have fallen many time's
Since the day that we lost you
It wont be goodbye forever
It's just for a little while
So dont you go on crying tears
Turn that face into a smile
Goodbye, but never be sad
For i am here beside your side
And one day when we meet again
Those sad, sad tears will have dried.

Wend this isnt so much a tribute, but a out pouring.
I think I am going insane here....I love you so much and miss everything about having you here with me as my sister, and best friend!
Nothing or no-one comes near to having you here, I just want to hide away from the world, I cant stop the tears of sadness emptiness and sheer frustration. No time isnt a healer......it just gets more painful. I LOVE YOU, ALWAYS!XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Life is eternal, and love is immortal,
and death is only a horizon;
and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight .

Why I love my sister
The Importance Of A Sister
© Shiv Sharma
A sister is someone who loves you from the heart,
No matter how much you argue you cannot be drawn apart.
She is a joy that cannot be taken away,
Once she enters your life, she is there to stay.
A friend who helps you through difficult times,
Her comforting words are worth much more than dimes.
A partner who fills your life with laughs and smile,
These memories last for miles and miles.
When she is by your side, the world is filled with life,
When she is not around, your days are full of strife.
A sister is a blessing, who fills your heart with love,
She flies with you in life with the beauty of a dove.
A companion to whom you can express your feelings,
She doesn’t let you get bored at family dealings.
Whether you are having your ups or downs,
She always helps you with a smile and never frowns.
With a sister you cannot have a grudge,
She is as sweet as chocolate and as smooth as fudge.
Having a sister is not just a trend,
It is knowing you can always turn to her, your best friend.

If I Knew
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
And pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
That I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
And call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
So I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute
To stop and say "I love you,"
Instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
So I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
To make up for an oversight,
And we always get a second chance
To make everything just right.
There will always be another day
To say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
To say our "Anything I can do?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
And today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
And I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
Young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
You get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
Why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
You'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
For a smile, a hug, or a kiss
And you were too busy to grant someone,
What turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
And whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
And that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
You'll have no regrets about today.

Sitting under the mistletoe
(Pale-green, fairy mistletoe),
One last candle burning low,
All the sleepy dancers gone,
Just one candle burning on,
Shadows lurking everywhere:
Some one came, and kissed me there.
Tired I was; my head would go
Nodding under the mistletoe
(Pale-green, fairy mistletoe),
No footsteps came, no voice, but only,
Just as I sat there, sleepy, lonely,
Stooped in the still and shadowy air
Lips unseen - and kissed me there.
I wish you & your family a Merry Christmas ~ Love Sheena & Angel Lewis x
I find it so very hard to believe
That you have gone and I must grieve;
I call out your name -- you answer not,
And I look for you in every familiar spot.
Everything seems so strange and surreal,
I ask everyday is it a dream or real?
Where are the soft brown eyes of affection?
Where is the laughter and talk of childhood reflection?
Where is the loving care when I was sick or sad?
Where is the generous soul for which I was glad?
Where is the forgiving and understanding heart?
Where are the bonds that were there from the start?
I miss all the little ways you showed you cared,
For there were so many good moments we shared;
Looking back on my life’s assorted scenes,
I realized you taught me what love truly means;
You were my trusted confidante and best friend,
On whose loving support I could always depend.
I look at your smiling face in all my photos;
Memories flood my mind as I touch the mementos
From the happy times you and I have had,
But now these bring tears and make me sad;
For the time together went by in a wink,
Life was not as long as we’d like to think.
Sometimes memories bring comfort and make me smile,
But there are times when grief takes over for a while;
Friends offer gentle words and prayers to console,
And tell me what has happened to your loving soul;
Can it be true what they say of time healing grief?
Is it enough when they say death has given you relief?
Can we believe what others say of a better place,
Where our beloved ones rest in God’s warm embrace?
I should be happy you’re free of pain and sorrow,
And rejoice that you’ll always have tomorrow.
How can I then be so heartbroken and selfishly cry,
Return to me from that peaceful place where you lie!”
Now I look down at your name on a cold hard stone
That says little of the loving light you have shone;
It tells nothing of the wonderful person you were,
And only serves to remind me of the painful loss I endure;
But I know your kind soul wants no tears or pain,
Instead you’d want warm memories and love to remain.
Although I cry and stand grief-stricken by your grave,
I promise not to forget the loving memories you gave;
But still I miss you so very much my sister dear,
And your caring words I once again long to hear;
My heart’s only solace is one day I will see you as before,
Beckoning me to come join you on that white distant shore.
