All those years ago when you used to have us round, getting us treats in and helping to choose your VW Beetle colours, those were the good days! Thank you for being our 'Auntie Maureen' and helping us grow.

Tidy up

Added by Chalcraft Funeral Directors

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.

Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Maureen. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
