To my beautiful angel, I can’t believe it’s been 14 years since heaven gained you as an angel and you got your wings. It’s so hard to believe we can’t see or hear you no more .. I miss you from the deepest depths of my soul. You are spoken of often and my kids hear all about you all the time, I show them songs we used to sing and dance to and how we used to snuggle under a duvet with cheese and crackers and watch old films. How we used to cook together and the bond we had was unbreakable. You was my real life angel and I loved you so much I still do. You would love my boys Nan they’re funny and cheeky they’d have you in stitches. We keep you alive in our thoughts and our hearts and I know you watch over us. Sending you all the love my heart holds forever and a day till we meet again love you my nanny ❤️❤️❤️

Been thinking about you quite often recently. I miss you so much nanna, I would give anything to hear your voice again and for one little cuddle. The memories you gave me are all I have of you now but they are the best memories, and I will cherish them until we meet again. I wish with all my heart that my little boys could have met you. The funniest, sweetest and kindest nanna. Please watch over us and guide me to be the best I can. I love you x x x

My thoughts are on the one who carried me 9 months, kissed me, fed me, cared for me when I was sick & dreamed my dreams with me - my Mama. I love & miss U ♥ It's been three year since I have seen your smile, heard your laugh, Told you I love you, I miss you so much. I'm not sure how I will get through. God saw her tired, there was no cure meant to be. So he wrapped her in his arms and said "Come with me." ♥ I want to call my Mama today, but there are no phones in heaven. ♥ Rest in Peace My Mama I talk to you everyday and miss you more than words can say my heart carries a pain of a childs love for there mama. We will meet again on the day our lord chooses xx Till then watch over your family as always and we will look for you xxx

As I sit in this room where you used to be I feel so much sadness your not here with me A tea and chat is what we used to do Now it's so empty without you A mum I can't turn to when I'm feeling low Oh dear god why did she have to go We miss her and need her in so many ways Now only memories of happier days But we understand in one way why her you did chose As her zest for life and being she did lose Comfort and keep her in your heavens above But please dear god send her our love Life for us all won't be the same But the love in our hearts will always remain We love you mum xxxxxxxxx

Mama I speak to you all the time and i know you know how much i miss you x Just to hug you one more time i know i have to wait xxx Thank you for my life xx

2 years today you have been gone from our lives. It's been a hard thing to get to grips with. We spoke about your ma and your mum, never thinking I would be recollecting memories of you and you gone fom our lives. I know you got fed up living and wanted to leave this earth. I pray your happier as you wasn't for a long time. You will be happier with aunty josie x. You have another great Granchild, Natalie has had a beautiful baby boy called Caine Frankie he's got the face of an angel x. We love and miss you mum x. My heart will hold special memories of you always. Luv you mama xxxx luv your eldest daughter Patsy xxxxx

Still in my thoughts nan - I fondly remember the happy days as a kid when we'd go down the markets, when you'd cook us the tastiest Sunday roasts, when you'd sing silly songs. I can't believe a year has passed already - but I feel you're happy where you are with your sisters, mum and dad etc above us all in heaven. God bless you nanny una - love you always. Donna xxxxxxx

Sadly missed all year through mum...always in our hearts xx Love Patsy Paul and family xx

I understand your time had come as your work on earth had been done, An angel so kind and precious too you'll never understand what we felt for you, Our dear nan who we sadly miss what we would do for one last kiss, At peace with the angels and our family too we miss ya nan we really do, No more pain, no more suffering, just peace and tranquility now nan, may you rest in peace my beautiful angel and watch over us always, you will remain in our hearts and our thoughts always. God bless Nanny we love you very much, love from Natalie, Donna, Paul and Marcus xxxxxxxxxxxx <3

God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be. So He wrapped his arms around you, and whispered, "come to me." You didn't deserve what you went through, So He gave you rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best And when I saw you sleeping, So peaceful and free from pain I could not wish you back To suffer that again. You can only have one mother Patient kind and true; No other friend in all the world, Will be the same to you. When other friends forsake you, To mother you will return, For all her loving kindness, She asks nothing in return. As we look upon her picture, Sweet memories we recall, Of a face so full of sunshine, And a smile for one and all. Sweet Jesus, take this message, To our dear mother up above; Tell her how we miss her, And give her all our love. loved and missed by Us All Mama our hearts will never be the same xxx<3<3<3

We knew that evening that God was going to call your name, In life nan we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, And although we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. Love you always nan - Donna xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Mum, you taught me to walk talk read and write, taught me good table manners and to say please and thank you. A shouder to cry on when I was sad, we've laughed and cried together throughout our life. I am now grown and wished we would have done more together. But, pleased that I honoured your wish to not leave you alone,to keep you safe and be there for you when you died. Me and my beautiful sister did this together,we wrapped you in love prayers and words of love and kindness. Your grandchildren Donna, Golla & Natalie gave you their love and kisses, so did Connor and Gina, and we know that made you happy. You were pain free and slipped away into eternal sleep, with us holding your hands and stroking your hair, with kisses to your face and brow. Please look down upon us our Angel, we miss you so much and love you so very much too. xx We cant change anything Mum from the past but can try to in the future.

We remember our times when we were a child A gentle Mother so tender and mild Always there with a hug and a kiss All of these things, we will so sadly miss We stayed at your side in your hours of need And prayed so hard, and with God did we plead To spare you the pain you suffered so long We gave comfort and caring and sang you a song We all asked forgiveness and all made our peace With kisses and hugs you felt a release You told us how happy and safe you felt We prayed for your soul, before God we all knelt We prayed so hard, we begged him not to take For we knew how much we'd miss you and our hearts would break You spoke of your love for us all, with a smile on your face Those memories we'll always embrace We kissed you and held you right till the end Holding your hand, did the angels descend Gently taking you away, your life it did end They took you safely away to the Heavens high Where you are peace now But in our hearts you will never die WE LOVE YOU MUM SO VERY MUCH XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Christina Read. 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.

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.
