everyone Loved You Steph John Me All the Family

I first remember when we moved by you, you were always working at Cadbury world because you wanted
to put your career before having kids. You were always being nice to me and my family even before
you married john, you were always close to us when I first met you, I asked what your name was and
you said Stephanie and I said Stephanie what and you said it begins with a b and I said Stephanie
banana and you said no breeze and ever since then I always remember you. I will always miss you
because I thought the world off you and I hope you know that I will never ever forget you not in a
million years. When you were always looking out for me and when my parents stopped talking to me you
never let me down you didn’t see why I was treated like that, just because my parents stopped
talking to me you didn’t take sides I will always keep an eye on John and the kids Stuart, keiron
and Hannah my precious angels. I will always tell them what a wonderful mother they had and how you
always loved them. Shame you had them late in life though but the kids will always love you and I
will make sure they never forget their mommy. You were a brilliant auntie and I loved you, I never
said that very often you meant the world to me and John does, you have always been good to me and
hope you know that.
You had such a great nature and were always loving towards me and you always made me feel welcome
especially mom who will always love you she will never forget you because you made her laugh.
When I first heard you were dying I thought you would fight it and you did for a bit. It was when
you had that blood clot in your lung we knew that you would never be with us again and at that point
I knew you would be gone. I am glad I never came to the hospital because I want to remember the way
you were, not the way you were before you died, the great person you were and how you cared for your
family and how you put up with John and I bet Cadbury World are going to miss you as well because I
know for a fact I will.
You will never leave my heart or soul and I hope you have a good life up where ever you end up
because you deserve it but you never deserved to die because you had a lot of years left with John
and the kids. I can’t believe I will never get to see you again its not real every time I think
about you I cry because you were a fantastic person who never really had a bad thing to say about
anybody not even the bad people.

We were always so close I know you were only my auntie by marriage but you were always such a good
friend and auntie to our family I will never stop thinking about you because your a great person,
and I know that everyone that met you loved you because you were a fabulous person I know I should
have believed that you were dying but it only hit me after you died, I thought why did you leave
your poor children but it wasn’t your fault it was the cancer eating away at you. The kids were
lucky to have a mother like you who cared for her children. When you found out Hannah had downs
syndrome you didn’t care because that’s the way you were you loved your kids and its going to be
upsetting for your little girl because she is never going to remember you but I will even though we
haven’t known each other years we knew each other long enough to know you will always be in my
heart cos you were lovely, I cant believe that we lived right next door to each other before you
became my auntie. You made us laugh so many times I couldn’t forget you, my mom loves you as well.
We always think of the good times and not the bad I don’t think there was ever any bad words
across from me to you or you to me because I respected you bringing up 2 disabled kids Keiron and
Hannah even though you had John he did really well looking after the kids whilst you were always at
work and when you were ill. I knew you loved John and the kids and I also know that every-one is
going to miss you because you brought so much happiness into this family. John was never properly
settled until he met you and you brought so much happiness in his life, I also remember when you got
married and when the kids were christened. I also remember this year when it was John’s
40thbirthday party you looked so well and you beat the cancer and it decided to come back on you.
You never smoked you didn’t hardly drink except when we decided to go over the pub for a quick one
on a Saturday night when me you Alan, Chez, their kids, Nan, Eric, John, the kids and my ex
boyfriend Ian used to play pool, it was fun and the day that you got married was a fun day and you
looked so beautiful Steph even though Uncle Peter decided to get drunk and ruin it but your brother
Nigel saved it by kicking him out. Hope you go somewhere nice because you deserve a whole lot more
because you had a family with three kids who will always love you because I will never let them
forget you because you were a good mother who loved and cared for her kids. When you were ill you
always made sure they came first because that’s the way you were, you were a special person who
loved everyone and I will always love you for it and the family will because you deserve respect,
even at your funeral we will always remember you and how sweet you were because we loved you, I can
never forget you we will always remember the good person you were and I am glad I never came to the
hospital because I wanted to remember you the way you were. Hope I will see you again because you
will be in my heart for a very long time for as long as your own kids remember you. I promise you
that for as long as I shall live. We will always love you no matter what happens. You were always
there for us and how can we forget you when you did so much for other people. I cant really talk I
never spent as much time as I should have done with you. I am going to miss you so much you never
deserved to die and I can’t not think of you. I will make it up to you because you were a
fantastic person even if no-one thinks so I do, because you were the best auntie any one could ask
for and I am going to miss you so much I don’t know how much but its a lot you brought so much
happiness in other peoples families. My ex boyfriend loved you as well because he thought Hannah was
beautiful, you were beautiful even John thought so
and even when you and John had your arguments you were made for each other even mom who set you up
together in the first place said so. You will always be in my thoughts wherever I am. I will make
sure Hannah never forgets her mother because she loves you as much as we do. I know you a lot better
than some people and that’s a good thing. I hope I meet up with you again sometime. I don’t want
this to be our only time. I love you Stephanie and you will always be with me, in my heart that’s
all at the moment Steph its hard writing this as its your funeral on Thursday 21/10/04. I will never
ever forget you I promise that Steph and I will help John look after your kid’s. I will miss you
forever. You were such a strong willed person that loved Liverpool f.c club and you knew where your
loyalties lie. I will always be there for john and I love you so much and Nan is going too as well
because its going to be hard for us when we go to your house and you are not there by our sides but
we will remember where you used to sit and how Hannah was your little princess all you ever wanted
was a baby girl. I also remember you saying if it was a girl you would call it Leigh but as soon as
Hannah came out you knew she was a Hannah not a Leigh. I will always respect your wishes that’s
why we had to pay our respects to you on your funeral its just so sad saying it was you, well
goodbye steph you will be sadly missed loads by all your family and john’s family. John misses u
every day, your kids are doing fine at the moment Hannah is doing great right little tinker bell,
everything is fine apart from what’s been happening with your mom recently she is really upsetting
john she wants the kids taken off him over something stupid john will never forget you I got upset
at your funeral its been 5 months since you died its getting easier but we still love you also I ave
been at the house since as well which has made it a lot easier I can go without being scared if u
want to come bk and haunt me, time heals as what some people say you were the best auntie anyone
could ask for I still think about you everyday and I also listen to your favourite song YOU’LL
NEVER WALK ALONE which they played at your funeral everyone came and you would ave been so proud of
john carrying your coffin and he hasn’t got over you, by being with gemma he needs company and
