My mother was a beautiful woman who touch the lives of everyone she met, in a very special way. She always had charm and grace in everything she said and did.



	Her beauty was not only on the outside, but on the inside, where it counts the most.  She was giving, loving and thoughtful in every way.  I can see why my father loved her so dearly.



	Throughout my life, my mother has always been there. Encouraging me to be my best in whatever I am doing.  She instilled in me the ideals that manners never go out of style.  My mother was a true lady in every respect of the word. 



	The voice of an angel, when my mother sang, it would bring tears to anyone's eyes. She loved to sing and I always remember her singing around the house, even when I was very young.  In 1974, my parents came to Canada to give the opportunity for my sister and I to have a better life.  What a sacrifice in itself, to leave your family, and everything you know, behind and start life in a whole other world. 



	My childhood was incredible.  My mother was encouraging and I definitely get my love of reading from her, and my love of history, music and geography.  Growing up with mum being at home when I was younger, I start to remember all kinds of things:  from baking fairy cakes in the kitchen of Scott Street; walking up the hill to get to school on Renfrew Street; being in my dad's store on Shamrock Street; skipping rope with my sister on New City Road at the 'bank building' while my mother read; great holiday in Millport and Blackpool and Devon; shopping in Sauchiehall Street;  City Bakery watching the doughnuts being made; trips to the Kelvin Hall and the Art Gallery; bringing home just about every stray dog and cat in the neighborhood pleading 'can we keep it?'; trips to the Botanical gardens; outings to the park; being at Walter's fish and chips.  All of these probably seem meaningless to most, but I remember how much my mother put in to raising my sister and I. How proud she was as my sister and I made her a grandmother. She was a great mother.



	I will miss my mother, greatly. All I have now is the memories that I carry with me. they are great memories.



	God smiled upon the earth the day He created my mother. She is now an angel with Him and hopefully I can make her proud of me.



	I never said it often enough, something I now regret. I love you mum, always have, always will.



	Your loving daughter, Angela

Dear Auntie Margaret, Your gentle manner was there for all to see.So much so my mum nicknamed you "Lady Margaret".Mum and dad had such great times with you and uncle Harry as did I and many others.Thank you for being you.Reunited with loved ones gone before.We look forward to your communication.An Earth Angel returned home.Love,Anne-Marie.xxxx

Well Margaret where do I begin so many happy memories spent over the years with you. From Bradan Ave when I would get your bike when you finished work at Singer's, then being a flower girl when you and Harry got married. Then Maxine and Angela came along and happy memories of holidays in Millport, parties in the flats. Then when you all moved to Canada we were lucky enough to be able to visit and stay with you and you all made us so welcome. Missing you xxxxxx

Aunt Margaret, it was always lovely when you and Uncle Harry came over to visit. When I was over in Toronto years ago as a 21 year old, you all made me so welcome and showed me the sights like the CN Tower and Niagara Falls. Good memories that I will keep forever. Love always. xx

Dear Auntie Margaret, I want to thank you for the many happy memories you and Uncle Harry and the girls allowed me to have as a child.Due to my inclusion to your family day trips and holidays I am left with memories filled with laughter and happiness.I send my love to you and the love of my mother who never forgot you and Harry's kindness and support at the most trying of times. It's time to rest now you earned it. All my love and thanks to you, Janis xx (niece).
