  7. You touched so many people with your wonderfully warm and caring soul.

    You never judged and was the most openly loving person ever. You showed all of your girls what it means to be a good person and more importantly a great mother.

    The family you and dad created is so special and no matter how big our family is mum always made space for others.
    You will be missed but I promise to honour your memory every day and continue to keep our families arms outstretched for those that need it.

    Love you alway mum
    Clair.

  9. My dear mother,
    I will miss you so dearly. You were the most loving mother that anyone could have had, you were there for me when I needed you and that was such a comfort to me. I will miss chatting to you about my life and yours! I know you are with the lord now and you are resting in his arms but heart breaks that I can’t have that hug anymore but I know you will be waiting for me in heaven to hold me and that comforts me R.I.P
    LOVE YOU MUM

  10. Mum(Babs) I am so devastated at your sudden departure from this word. Your love shone so brightly not only to the love of your life Barrie but to your 5 girls who have given you 8 grandsons and 7 granddaughters. I’ll miss winding you up, but will miss your beautiful smile.

  15. Nanna, we are all so lucky to have shared our life with you. You’re an incredible woman with an amazing story to tell. A story that has inspired me to share your love of seeing the world. Exploring and seeing new places has always been one of the things that has made me feel closest to you. Imagining how you would have seen these places through your own eyes. I hope where you are now is another glorious adventure with all of your loved ones. I’m so sorry that I cannot be there to honour the most generous Nanna that there ever was but please know, I love you dearly and I’m happy. I am so grateful for all of the memories. Love always and forever, you’re red headed grandaughter, “our Amber”. Xx

  17. My dearest mum.
    I will miss you so very much, my heart feels so heavy with sadness that you have left us. I will miss our chats and lunch at kellys. Nothing will be the same now without you. But i know you are in heaven and free of pain and that comforts me. You were an inspiration to everyone, an exceptional woman and I was so lucky to have been blessed with you as my mother. Walk tall and rest peacefully. I love you with all my heart.

  18. Everyone should be so fortunate to have an incredible role model like “Babs” She was a shining example of love and integrity for her family. Her strength lives on in them, and the rest of the “Inlaws”
    Vale Mrs Tomkinson, you will be missed.
