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.

Saw this Wend and thought of you! xx
I opened up a box one day
What treasures did I find!
Letters and some photographs
Of days we left behind
I drifted back to yesterday
The thought was oh, so clear
For just a moment, anyway
It felt like you were here
I smile when I think of you
Sometimes I cry so much
I'm all alone without you now
I long to feel your touch
But God had other plans for you
An Angel he did find
So now my box of memories
Is all that's left behind.
LOVE AND MISS YOU ALWAYS! XXX
~ 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.

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
And whispered "Come to Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
We watched you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
Those we love
Are never really lost to us -
We feel them
In so many special ways ~
Through friends
They always cared about
And dreams they left behind ~
In beauty that they added to our days ...
In words of wisdom we still carry with us ~
And memories that never will be gone...
Those we love are never really lost to us -
For everywhere their special love lives on.

The lovliest sister!
My great sister
I light candles in front of your photo,and buy flowers so you can see them!! I am amazed at what you and Lewis managed to achieve on Sunday night! Sam was beside herself when I told her, and is going to go to see the same fella!
Some people may think it is strange and being in denial about loosing you, I know you can never come back to us, but it just makes the pain see less harsh, the reality more bearable.
Maybe you did squeeze my hand too the other night, I dont think I imagined it, I still wear your perfume and keep things that you gave me even though they might now be empty or used up!
I can not let the memory of you fade and I never will!
I must go now and feed the boys!! xxxxxx
All my love, as always
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
I AM NOT GONE.xXxXx
I am not gone, I am changed.
Have faith and please believe me.
God did not take me away from you,
He split the skies and received me.
Now...
I'm an echo in your laughter,
a reflection in your tears,
an extra thread of strength
to help you overcome your fears.
I'm an added ray of sunshine,
more joy for you to share,
a fragrance of the life you live.
Wherever you are - I am there.

A LETTER FROM HEAVEN
As I sit here safe in heaven,
And watch you everyday,
I try to let you know with signs
I never went away.
I hear you when you're laughing
And watch you as you sleep
I even place my arms aroud you
To calm you as you weep.
I see you wish the days away
As you beg to have me home
So I try to send you messages
So you know you're not alone.
Don't feel guilty that you have a life
That was denied to me
Oh, heaven is truly beautiful
Just you wait and see.
Please live your life and laugh again
Enjoy yourself, be free
Then I'll know with every breath you take
You're taking one for me!
