My Mum Rosina Veness died on 8th April 2007 at the grand age of 69 originally from Kennington London. She was a cleaner/dinner Lady who was great with all the kids at every school she worked in. She Married my Dad george Frederick Veness in 1972 I thnk and he died in 1983 when I was just 8 years old. My mum was 1 of 13 and passed away only 16 months after her closest sister also died. We all lived together for 22 years and were all very close. My mum was always healthy and had loads of energy even at her age she was still running around after her 2 only granddaughters. She made the best of every situation and nothing was too much of a problem for her. She took us out for the day in the school holidays once a year the last time was to Brighton where we had a picnic and as usual spoilt us all rotten. She wasn't just my Mum, she was my best friend and to be without her even at my age is like loosing a limb. We were together all the time, everytime I had a day off we would either go down town or just spend the day indoors. It didn't matter because she was my mum and as long I was with her I felt safe. She loved her plants, especially her Roses, red, yellow but her favourite was a Blue moon it smelt so lovely and looked so pretty, that was her pride and joy and she spent lots of time in her garden pruning and weeding. My mum lost her husband (my Dad) in 1983and she was so strong through that I don't know how we both coped. She became ill after she fell down the stairs 2 weeks before christmas. I bugged her to go to the doctors because she kept saying her right side hurt. On the 16 february 2007 she was rushed into basildon hospital and while she was there she started to go a wierd yellow colour. I told the doctor who was looking after her and they admitted her that night. 3 weeks later after lots of tests, she was diagnosed with cancer. There were secondaries in her liver and that's when they told her there was nothing they could do. 2 days later they discharged her from hospital and 2 weeks later she had an appointment with the encologist. he clarified what the doctor had said at the hospital and that at most she would have 4 months left. We were in shock, my Mum was never ill, she was strong for everyone. On Sunday 1st of March Mum had a fall. Mark (my hubby) went round and helped her up off the floor. he came back looked after the kids and I went round. call the ambulance guys who checked her over and said she was ok. She had another fall the next day and on wednesday 4th of March Mum went ionto St Lukes hospice were she was looked after so well I can't thank them enough. On Sunday I got a call sayig that mum had deteriorated and to go there as soon as I could. 3pm that afternoon 3 weeks after being diagnosed with cancer she died. I was there when she went. I miss her loads. I was always with her and the girls. Leanne misses her lots and so does Katie. We all feel cheated It's so unfair but at least now she isn't suffering and she is with the people she loves. My dad, Her Sisters and Brothers and she is probabaly up there now having a good ole kneesup just like the born and Bred Londoner she always was.
Each year I resolve with the strongest intent
To be better this year than the last.
And I work very hard; the rules hardly get bent,
But this discipline gets old so fast!
But with this new year I just know I’ll win out,
Just watch how I do and you’ll see!
I’m not going to have yet another blowout;
I’ll be good as I know I can be.
But, if wicked things beckon, and I’m not so strong,
If I weaken and fall on my ast,
I’ll be thankful again that you’ll help me along
As you have during all new years past.
I’m so grateful that you’re my (gts friend)! Happy New Year!

miss you
Well Mum it has been 7 months without you now and we miss you like mad. I have made a vow this year to make it the best christmas ever as we have lost a lot over the past 2 years what with Auntie and then You, didn't think we could cope with much more. Mark is still being a pain but I love him lots all the same. The girls miss you loads and are always remembering what you used to say to them and the buiscuits you used to have in the cupboard for us when we came over to see you both.
Like they say 'Life's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get'. In our case that would be true.
Still can't beleive you are gone.
Love you so much I could burst, all those times you stck by me through thick and thin, it reminds me when I think about it what families are really about. To protect and care for each other as well as honesty and trust.
See you didn't do a bad job bringing me up did you.lol
Love you always.

From me
Mum went to Hastings yesterday with Nick and girls. I made it didn't get lost once lol. My Sat Nav took us through a field, how sad is that. You would have laughed seeing me on the ghost train with Leanne and Kate. Nick scared me and we came off laughing cuz something touched my face lol. Wish you were there. You used to take us on a day out every school holiday so I thought why stop, so I did it. We had a nice dinner out and loads of candy floss and dummies. You know I can't go anywhere like that without eating some floss. I saw Tania the other day. She is still working there. She left a lovely message the other day didn't she. I'll thank her for you next time I see her at work. I miss you so much You should be here with us. I'll light another candle for you when I I am next on the PC. Love you lots and lots and lots and miss you loads too.
shocked
i was so shocked when i found out that rose had passed away, she was always so busy, i thought if anybody was going to live to 100 she would, i still can't believe it, she loved her daughter so much, when i used to work with her she was always talking about sandra, and when her grandchildren came along she was the proudest nanny ever, she doted on her family and done all she could for them, she will always be remembered i had so many laughs with her , i used to wind her up and she used to chase me with her mop lol, rose rest in peace no more pain love tania xxxxxxxx
