Happy memories of Wendy who died 27 October 2002 at the Royal Free London aged 46. In the last couple of years Wendy helped look after Jack who suffered autism, we both came to love Jack and Wendy would often bring him to our home. For many years before Wendy cared for the elderly being a home help supervisor and latterly a care worker in "care homes". She had a conviction and belief that the elderly should be properly cared for.....but became so disillusioned gave up trying to make the system work properly.
Our family life revolved around Clare her partner Matt, Jamie and Callum our three very much loved children. Wendy's family meant as much to me as they did to her -- Mum, Dad Tyers in Braybrooke, her brother David his wife Elizabeth their in girls Amanda, Kylie and Riley who reside in Vancouver, Cananda.
Wendy collapsed suddenly with a brain hemhorrage, followed 10 days later by an aunurism from which she did not recover. My Thanks to many Friends in the WAY Foundation (Widowed and Young)especially Warks group and my cyber mates on Kate Boydells "Merry Widow" board and to all the family and friends who supported us.
Wendy is at rest in Uppingham with her two cousins Susan and Mandy taken so tragically in 1977 with their best friend when only 19 and 17. Her Nanan Ploughman, Gran and Grandad Tyers are also in the same place. Wen's last resting place is in our hearts, she gave so much of herself to us and all she knew--thank you Wen--one more hug would do it, just one.
It's nearly six years, you are in my thoughts every day sometimes all day--I wonder if that can ever change--I have moved a long way on the journey, it seems an ever lasting journey and I realise that my life and that of the kids has been changed forever. Oh it has ups and downs and mainly we are on an even keel but it is lonely. That very bad pain has long since eased, it hasn't appeared back for a long long time. My heart still breaks again when the kids struggle with the consequences of your loss.
My greatest friend is the great memories of our happiest daftest times...."jim never liked dogs until he met me" is a story I still recount in safe company....you were mortified when you said it to all them posh people at the dinner table. Never a dull moment..I never new what I would come home to, different colour hair to completely redecorated kitchens (that I had just done weeks before but you didn't like it) I am sitting here grinning at some of the great laughs we had. If I were to say what I missed most it would be your one liners hun..an answer for everything straight from the hip. You did have it tough to though and we met because of that....wouldn't change a bit hun you did me and the kids proud, thank you. I am telling all this because I would have had you been here...I suppose you are here and I am hoping you can read this. I know you will still be looking after those who need you most
so take care love from me and the kids, mum and dad.... love you xxxxx
Daughter
Our first born, our pride and joy. We watched you grow from babyhood to womanhood, we had our ups and downs during your teenage years. You were sister, wife, mother but also our child. You worked hard for your family when suddenly you had a fight for life . Being your mother I would have changed places with you, allowing you to see your family grow and be a Grandmother. In our hearts we new it was'nt to be. I held your hand and promised you I would help care for your family, but if every parent was given a special wish for there children, ours for you would be to see you walk in the door and shout "it's only me mum". Love Mum & Dad XX
Mother
There is so much that I wanted to say to you before you passed away but I didn't get the chance to tell you but I would like to think you know as I talk to you all the time when I feel you are near me.
I miss your laugh, your voice but I have my memories which is the one thing that keeps me going.
Jamie, Callum & I were all so lucky to have a mum like you, you were one in a million.
I wish you were still here with us all but I have you near in my heart.
Miss you so much
All my love Clarexxxxxxxx
My Love
There isn't a day goes by that I don't think of you and such lovely happy happy memories. You make me smile whenever I think of you. I hurt some but can cope by thinking of one of those moments you were so great at creating. Life was a constant get up and go, we were a right double act --- it worked through thick and thin we made it.
It's over 4 years since you died. I have found that I can live but it's not the life I wanted. In my early darkest days I wanted you to be here and me in your place--it made so much more sense....but of course the reality is that you are gone. I have wished, willed and down right swore to try and get you back with me and the kids where you belong. None of that worked but you are still with me my love.....in my heart and in my mind..you are with us all and always will be.
Miss you...all my love (((Hugs))) your Jim XX
