This is my mum, Barbara, she was a loving wife to Barry, mum to 5 children, Victoria, Daniel, Louis, Dom and Joe and a grandmother to 4 Macie, Alex, Freya and Rylee. A sister to Alan and Chris.
She was a good laugh, happy, brilliant sense of humour and had a heart of gold helping out who she could.
It was not uncommon for mum to take in our friends who had been kicked out or nowhere to go. Therefore she become a "mum" to alot of youngsters in Herne Bay.
She wasn't afraid of new Technology she had a little shop unlocking and selling mobile phones in Herne Bay town and loved to hear all what her customers had been up to. You would often find mum playing on her psp in the evening and shouting around the house for help when she was stuck!!
At home she had 2 British bulldogs (Molly and Khan) 1 Labrador (Harry) 2 Macaw Parrots and a Snake.
Gone too soon couldn't hit the nail on the head any closer.... How can someone you love be going by their daily routine one minute and in hospital the next. She just looked asleep, peaceful, like nothing was wrong, we was all waiting for her to sit up and say "what are you lot looking at?! But, that was not to be.
Mum's funeral was the hardest day of our lives.... we still cant believe she's not here. Going to her Grave I often chat to her waiting for a reply that never comes.
Mum has left a big gap in all of our lives, the gap will never fill and time will never heal it.
We all have our own little memories of mum, ones that make us cry with laughter and the ones that make us cry with sadness.
I found this poem of What is a mum,
A mum is one of life's best gifts,
Someone to treasure all life through,
She's caring and loving,
Thoughtful and true,
Someone who is always a special part of your life,
Someone who holds a prime place in your heart,
She's a mentor, a confident and also a friend,
Someone on whose love you can depend.
A mum always has your best interests at heart,
She's someone so dear and so good,
She's a blessing, she's a gift,
She's a treasure like no other,
She's someone that is truly wonderful.
Wherever you go, and whatever you do,
A mum’s love will always see you through,
A mum is truly invaluable,
Indispensable and unforgettable.
I wouldn't want anyone but you,
And that's why I'm so grateful,
that life picked you for me.
Mum, we all love you so much and we wish we'd told you more often, what ever we do or where ever we go we will always think of you, what you think of what we do and all our kids will always know who you are and what you did.
We will meet again one day, i hope where ever you are, you know we all love and think of you every day.
Till that day you will always be in our hearts and thoughts.
Rest in peace our beautiful, darling mum.

theres so much i still have to say to you
so many things we still have to do
in my life now theres an empty space
with just the memories of your smile,your face
you should be here,not just your memories that live on
i want to see you,but i cant your gone
to let you go,how do i start?
how do you mend a broken heart?
xmas,birthdays are not the same without you there
so cruel,to take you was so unfair
one day i'll be able to really say goodbye
but today i sit with my memories of you and cry
the days...
i will never forget the days we had as a family, or just mine and ur's..
they will remain in my head forever and ever, and they make me laugh everytime, just wish we could have had many more and to hear you laugh felt good...
mum i will never forget you and your smile, miss you love your little poppet xxxxxxxxxxxx

Aunty Barbara
Dear Aunty Barbara,
I just found this page through Dom's facebook and it is sooo luvly to see your smiling face and read your childrens memories.
Im still in shock that your gone and the memories I have, will stay with me forever.
You truly were a special lady and I can honestly say uncle Barry will never find another woman that could ever compare to you, he was a very lucky man to have had such a loving, caring and hard working wife. And you truly were one in a million.
Every time I came and saw you, you were always smiling! Even when you would tell me about the dramas happening in your life, you would simply say 'there's nothing u can to about it' and then shrug ur shoulders and smile. The strength you had was unbelievable and you are an inspiration.
One thing that stood out the most about you was the love you had for your children. You were always there for them no matter what and whenever they were in need for help, you were there!! Even when Dom or Joe would come home with an idea & it would involve you gettin out your purse to pay for it, you would. You never destroyed there ideas or plans, even if you knew it wasnt gonna work! :-) You simply supported your children no matter what and they were lucky to have a mother like you.
Me and Jayden had such alovely time, when we came and saw you in the summer 2008 and I am sooo pleased Jayden got to meet you and he still speaks about you and the rude parrot. lol.
One thing you mentiond while I was in your shop last, was about some of the kids not talking and how you wished they would stop the argueing and sort it out. I hope that is now the case and you are able to look down and see them all talking again, as we all now know that life is to short!
You were a wonderful aunty and you will be truly missed.
Love you lots and lots always and forever.
Carys and Jayden xxxx
