Personal Background

Marjorie Webb was a wonderful Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Aunt and friend who passed away on Saturday 5^th July. I think I can say with 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 22^nd of December 1938, she was the eldest of 4, and lived there until moving to Kingston in the 60’s, and made her home there with her children, Lorraine, Kevin, Sally and Karen and with Paul who was with us for 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 Poppin’s bag of goodies, so called because you never knew what would appear next from it, and always amused those who found out. Marjorie had strong beliefs and opinions on many things and would always voice which would sometimes cause lively discussions, one that caused a lot of discussion was football, as growing up in Portsmouth this was her team, and all other teams, were cheats (Particularly Man Utd 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 her time with her 11 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. She loved collecting for them, buying 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). Her illness came as a shock to us all, and was so sudden that it did not really give anyone any time to prepare for her passing, and has left us all feeling empty and sad inside, but she would not want us to grieve in this way and would want us all to look forward to the future, to embrace life and to use our own memories in remembering her and her life. Her courage during that last week was inspirational, and when she was ready to go, she did so knowing that all her children were around her altogether. I am sure that somehow she will continue to sustain us all in our grief, and her legacy is in the people we see around us today, the grandchildren and great grandchild will be a testament to her.

We loved you so much, God Bless, let God take care of YOU now, Lorraine, Kevin, Sally and Karen.

She Is Gone

You can shed tears that she is gone

Or you can smile because she has lived

You can close your eyes and pray she`ll come back

Or you can open your eyes and see all she has left

Your hearts can be empty because you can`t see her

Or you can be full of the love you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember her and only that she`s gone

Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back

Or you can do what she`d want smile,

Open your eye`s , love and go on

Grandmother

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

Final Journey

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, your friend

He will hold you in his arms, and the angels will sing

As another of his children is delivered by white wings

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 it is 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 will 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 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”

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 choose 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 take my Mum away,

But He gave her back to me.

There was only one thing different,

About this wondrous thing,

She had just traded her faded house-dress,

For a halo and snow white wings.

The first we knew of Mums illness was when Karen took her to Kingston for the weekend on the 10th May , Her and Sally had noticed that she was very yellow in colour in the face, and decided to take her to Kingston Hospital, where she was admitted and had tests carried out that weekend and the following week. It was after these tests that the doctors warned us on the 17th May , that Mum had Pancreatic Cancer and was given upto 8 weeks to live. Whilst she was in Hospital we gave her some Guardian Angels pins to wear on her nightdress, these gave her comfort during the times that we could not be with her.

Mum was in Kingston Hospital until the 26th June, when she was transferred to St Catherine`s Hospice, Crawley. She was there for 10 Days the last 5 days she was heavily sedated to keep her pain free.

We lost our beloved Mum on the 5th July, 2008 at 4am , She finally lost her courageous battle , Lorraine, Kevin, Sally and Karen, her Son In Law Graham and Sister Mary were all at her bedside as she slipped away.

If tears could build a stairway

And memories a lane

I`d walk right upto heaven

And bring you home again

In 1972 Mum gave birth to her fifth child , a son, named Paul. During the birth Mum had serious complications, and due to these Paul was born with serious problems, and he only lived for 4 Days, although we never met him, he will never be forgotten by all of us.

I love you Nan

I told you that I love you, Nan
I hope that you could hear me,
I know that you love me too Nan,
And our love forever will be.

You were in so much pain before Nan,
And I know that this was for the best,
Because nothing can hurt you anymore Nan
Now you can finally rest.

I think about you every day Nan
And every day I shed a tear,
But I know that you’re still here Nan,
In the hearts of us who hold you dear.

Getting Tired

God saw that she was getting tired

And a cure not to be

So he put his arm around her

And whispered “come with me”

With tearful eye’s 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.

A Message for Mum – from the family

God looked around his garden

And saw an empty space.

He then looked down upon this earth

And saw you smiling face.

God’s garden must be beautiful

He always takes the best

For an unknown reason he took you

Up to heaven, and shielded you with grace.

It broke our hearts to see you go

But you did not go alone

For part of us went with you

The day God called you home.

Walk In Sunshine

May you alway’s walk in sunshine, and God’s

Love around you flow.

For the happiness you gave us,

no one will ever know

It broke our heart’s to lose you, but you did

Not go alone,

A part of us went with you, the day God called

You home.

A million times we’ve needed you

A million times we’ve cried

If love could have saved you

You never would have died

The Lord be with you, and may you rest in peace.

AMEN

The following section is all about Mums funeral

All Things Bright & Beautiful

All things bright and beautiful

All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful,

The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,

Each little bird that sings,

God made their glowing colours,

And made their tiny wings.

The purple headed mountain,

The river running by,

The sunset and the morning,

That brightens up the sky.

The cold wind in the winter,

The pleasant summer sun,

The ripe fruits in the garden,

God made them every one

God gave us eyes to see them,

And lips that we might tell,

How great is God Almighty,

Who has made all things well.

Some of Mum`s friends and work colleagues made donations to St Catherine`s Hospice instead of sending flowers , this was much appreciated ,Thank You

Latest Tributes

A special Nan - Hi Nan, I remember when you used to take me for a walk and teach me all your funny songs and phrases. You always use to make me laugh and I love you so much. R.I.P. Nan xx x - from Joshy

We miss you so much - Hi mum, I wish I could have a wish for christmas I would wish to have you back again. I have not done anything for christmas yet, everytime I try and go round town I get very tearful and end up going home. I miss the fact that we cant speak about what we should and shouldn't get, how you used to phone and say dont get this or dont get that because I have already got it. Or you would tell me where you had seen something I wanted for the boys cheaper and you would always offer to go and get it for me. Christmas has not got the same meaning this year. Josh talks about saying a prayer for you on christmas morning, he asks me if you would like that, bless him. He is wanting to write candles for you everday and he is needing to talk about you a lot also, please keep an eye on him for me. Matt says he wants to think of you in his own way, sometimes he goes very quiet and I think he remembers all the things you did together. He loves talking about your trip to Blackpool and the nights he stayed over your flat with you. He likes to write to you in french now, I think he feels it is more private for him like that, I hope you enjoy his words, I know he misses you terribly. Graham is still the same old Graham, he doesn't show it as much but I know your death affected him a lot. The way he goes to your grave every week, the way he deals with your site every time it crashes, I know you had your differences but you both were there for each other when you needed it. Me, I just miss you so much, I miss everything about you, good and bad, I hope christmas shopping is as good up in heaven as it was down here. Please look over all of us, and our families as christmas and your birthday get nearer. God Bless Sweet Angel xx xx - from Lorraine's family

Missing You - Mum, I can't begin to tell you how much I miss you still, it is four months today since you went away, but it still hurts like it was yesterday. I miss everything about you, your phone calls, your advice I really miss your no nonsense advice, you would say what you thought even if it hurt even though you would usually end up being right. There were the days when you would be difficult and we would get annoyed with you, but what I would give to have one of your difficult days now. As you would say no one is perfect and that is so true. You had a wicked sense of fun and we could have a great laugh with you, and all your grandchildren adored you as you did all of them. Heaven is lucky to have you up there, because we really miss you down here,tears still fall regularly for you and we all are often in need of a hug from you. How much we miss you is a testament to how important you were in our lives, you made us into the people we are today. Because of you we will get through this pain and we thank you for all the love and support you gave us over the years. I hope you continue to be proud of what we and your grandchildren continue to achieve. We will always keep your memory alive, you will always have a special place in all our hearts. God Bless Mum I Love You xxx xxx - from Lorraine

nan x - Nan you were the funniest person on earth and you always made me lough. You are the shineing star watching over us. harryxoxox - from harry

Latest Memories

Lorraine - Mum, Being at the hospital this week with Matt brought back all the memories of you in hospital, especially those last couple of weeks at Kingston before you were transferred to the hospice in Crawley. You were so weak, you tried your hardest to eat, even though you were eating less and less. We tried eating with you to try and encourage you, but it just wasn't to be. You were so happy when I got that dry shampoo so I could do your hair for you. I have never seen you look so pleased to get your hair clean and brushed, when I put it up for you, you kept putting your hand on it and saying, that feels so much better, it was such a small thing but it meant such a lot to you, you were a very proud lady and being clean was very important to you. I would give anything to do your hair for you again, I hope you got it cut, that was the only thing we weren't able to get done for you. You are always in my thoughts, Love You xxx xxx

harry - hi nan i remember when me and you sat and had nice chats hope you remember this too love you nan harry xx .

Lorraine - Mum, do you remember when me and you used to do our night flyer trips by boat to Guernsey and Jersey to do our christmas shopping. The crossing's were so rough and we used to feel pretty grotty at times but we would always get around the shops, we must have been mad but, we really enjoyed it didn't we? also our day trips to France to stock up for christmas, we were hardened day trippers, we did have some laughs on those trips and you certainly enjoyed yourself, I will miss those days, I hope this memory brough a smile to your face mum as you remember those days. Love You Sweetheart xx xx xx

Joshy - Hi Nan, I remember all the times I was not well and mum and dad would phone you up and ask you if you could have me for a bit. Hope you remeber this as well.x x x x

Graham - Alright Marge, become abit of a catchphrase now, well we never did always really see eye to eye did we, but thats what son in laws are for, not to like , but we always looked out for each other when it mattered, and I still and will always remember your first few nights in St Catherines, when I came to see you after my cleaning, and you was tucked up in bed, safe and secure and we had alil chat for 10 mins, just to make sure you was alright, well I hope now you are sleeping peacefully each night.
