Personal Background
Marjorie Ann Webb
Marjorie was a wonderful Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Aunt and friend who sadly passed away on Saturday 5th July 2008. I think it can be said in confidence that all who knew and loved her were touched by her in someway.
Marjorie was an ordinary woman but also an extraordinary woman, born in Portsmouth on the 22nd of December 1938, was the eldest of 4, and lived there until moving to Kingston in the 60's, and made her home with her children Lorraine, Kevin, Sally and Karen and with Paul who was with us only a short while, but never forgotten and with whom she is with now.
Marjorie retired in 2000 and moved to Crawley, but always worked part time doing various cleaning jobs, often seen around with her Mary Poppins bag of goodies, so called this because you never knew what would appear next from it, and always amused those who found out.
Marjorie had stong beliefs and opinions on many things and would always voice these which would sometimes cause lively discussions, one that caused alot of discussion was football, as growing up in Portsmouth this was her team, and all other teams were cheats (particularly Man United and Chelsea).
She loved all of her family and recognised in each of them their individual uniqueness and valued them for it. And always enjoyed spending time with her 11 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.
She loved collecting for them, buying them football sticker albums, even though the grandchildren would not get a look in as she would take over putting the stickers in.
She was a great role model to all, often guiding those when she thought they were going wrong, and she would never be disrespected for this (even though she was not always right).
She may no longer be here with us in body but she will always be with us in spirit, and her legendency will forever live on in all of us.
If I could have one lifetime wish
A dream that would come true
I`d pray to god with all my heart
For yesterday and you
A thousand words can`t bring you back
I know because i`ve tried
And neither can a million tears
I know because i`ve cried
You left behind our broken hearts
And happy memories too
I never wanted memories though
I only wanted you
"If tears could build a staiway
and memories a lane , i`d walk
right up to heaven and bring you
home again"
If only you had told me Mum
Before we had to part
Just how i`d ever find a way
To heal mybroken heart
I know that you`d have found the words
To help me understand
Just how i`d carry on
Without my mum`s guiding hand
If only you could hold me mum
To dry these tears I cry
Then perhaps it wouldn`t hurt so much
For me so say ...... Goodbye
We had a wonderful grandmother
One who never really grew old
Her smile was made of sunshine
And her heart was solid gold
Her eyes were as bright as shining stars
And in her cheeks fair roses you see
We had a wonderful grandmother
And that`s the way it will always be
But take heed , because
She`s still keeping an eye on all of us
So let`s make sure
She will like what she sees
To those whom I love and those who love me
When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that I have had so many years
I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I thank you for the love each have shown
But now is it time I travelled on alone
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless the memories in your heart
I wil not be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you can not see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All of my love around you soft and clear
Then, when you must come this way alone
I will greet you with a smile and a
" Welcome Home "
God saw that she was getting tired
And a cure not to be
So he put his arms around her
And whispered "come with me"
With tearful eyes we watched her
And saw her fade away
Although we loved her dearly
We could not make her stay
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the BEST
My Special Angel
She`s always watching over me
I feel her presence near
She`s always here to listen
And guide me through my fears
She`s a very special angel
One god chose just for me
She was once my Mum here on earth
But that wasn`t long to be
God called her home one night
My fear and rage did see thee
If he were a loving god
Why take my Mum from me
But in time I saw the plan
He unveiled for me to see
He had taken my Mum away
But he gave her back to me
There was only one thing different
About this wondrous thing
She just traded her faded house-dress
For a halo and snow white wings
Our beloved Mum sadly lost her battle at 4am on the 5th July 2008 at St Catherines Hospice, Crawley with son kevin, daughters Lorraine, Sally and Karen, Son in law Graham and Sister Mary all by her bedside.
Everyday you will be sadly missed forever more, Amen

A prayer for my nanny - Dear Jesus,
Protect my nanny every day
Be the flame that lights her way every day
Open her eyes and make her see
Nobody loves her as much as me
Lean down and whisper in her ear
That i will love her 'til the end of our years
Tell her sometimes it's ok to cry
It's no one else's business why
Let her know she's not alone.
Etc in her mind the words of my poem
My nanny, you see, is precious to me
As precious as any me person can be
words cant express my deep gratutude
Towards my clear nanny, and all she can do
Thank you lord for listening again.
Please pass on my message and till next time amen.

With Love - I thought of you with love today
but that is nothing new
I thought of you yesterday
and days before that too
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
All I have are memories
and your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake
with which I'll never part
God has you in his keeping
and I have you in my heart
Love you mum, lorraine xxxx
