Jean Greenwood (My Mum)
Died 28th January 2004
Age 67
Lived in Perth, Western Australia.
She was one of the best mothers in the whole world to myself, Carol, Susan,Tina and to the late
Shelley and Debbie. (Debbie and Shelley Greenwood)
Very precious Nanna to many many Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren including my angel baby
Christopher James Archer.
This lady was not physically in my life when I was growing up. She was forced to give me up for
adoption when I was six weeks old, but she was in my thoughts all the time I was growing up, not a
day went by where I didnt wonder about her. In my childs mind she would be a princess, pretty and
magic, then as I grew she would be a film star, rich and successful.
When I found her in 1990, she was none of the above, but she was the most wonderful, kindest, gentle
mother and nanna you could ever wish to meet.
The bond had never been broken, it was wonderful.Australian TV Company Chanel 7 took up our story
and filmed our reunion. I met her and my father Tom, and my five sisters in Perth, Western
Australia.
From that day on we were very close, we shared such a lot and were so eternally grateful for the
time we had together, fourteen wonderful years.
She was my MUM and I love her very very much.
When she went my heart broke and a part of me has not been the same since then. But I know she is
around me and I smell her and talk to her all the time.
She was a wonderful lady to everyone, her smile radiated happiness, she called everybody "lovey" and
always had a big hug for anyone, even if they were strangers!
She died of a broken heart after losing her youngest daughter, Debbie followed by daughter Shelley a
year later, then her beloved husband Tom a year later. She could not carry all that grief around any
longer. She was found dead at home after a heart attack.
Her funeral was the saddest day of my life, so far. I miss her very much, but I know that she is
happy up in heaven with my Dad and Debbie and Shelley and my baby son Christopher James Archer.
Its not goodbye..............just see ya soon xxxxxxxx
An Angels Kiss for you Carole
We never stop to measure
Anything we might just miss
But if the wind should blow by softly
You'll feel an Angel's Kiss.
A Kiss that's sent from Heaven
A Kiss from up above
A Kiss that's very special
From someone that you love.
For in your pain and sorrow
A Kiss will help you through
This Kiss is very private
For it's meant for only you.
So when your heart is heavy
And filled with tears and pain
And no-one can console you
Remember once again.
About the one you grieve for
And so sadly miss
That gentle breeze you took for granted
Was your Angel's Kiss.
xxx
Love to you Carole. x
~~Tears (by Jack Larsen)~~
Tears are delightful expressions
Of happiness, sorrow, and love
Made to release deep emotions
A special gift sent from above.
When seeing sweet thoughts of a loved one
Midst memories of days of old
A tear finds a cheek in the moonlight
As thoughts reach deep in the soul.
In moments of anger, frustrations and grief
When happy thoughts flee like a thief
Running away with our hopes and our cares
A tear brings welcome relief.
If unwanted sorrow consumes us
And life seems so hard to bear
With time a soul is healed
Restored with the help of a tear.
Sun and beauty bring health to the soul
Through all of the days of our lives
Deepest feelings of thanks are expressed
Through tears which appear in our eyes.
Be grateful for tears for their presence
Restores our most glorious thoughts
Of laughter, compassion and loving
The most precious gifts of all.
Thank you
Hello Mum, sorry I have not been on here to light candles for you for a while, but when I prayed to you and God and asked for something well my prayers were answered, thank you so much for setting me free.
Hope you have a lovely day with all our angels, give baby Christoper a big cuddle from me xxx
Always thinking of you. x
♥«•* I Want You To Know (by Angela) *•»♥
A brief moment of darkness
was all that I knew,
before Heaven's Gate
came into my view.
Loved ones and friends
I had missed for many years,
welcomed me with open arms
and many happy tears.
All the hurt, fear and pain
that I have ever known,
is gone from my life
I am finally home.
I gazed upon the Lord's
sweet smiling face,
and for the first time in my life
I knew and felt His grace.
I know that you miss me
but please dry your eyes,
I will always be watching and loving you
from my home in the sky.
A cool breeze on your face
a touch of light rain,
I will send as a reminder
that we will be reunited again.
Life on earth is but one
brief moment in time,
I am finally home
Eternity is mine.
Love to you Carole. Love Mel. xxx
No Night Without
There is no night without a dawning,
No winter without a spring
And beyond the dark horizon,
Our hearts will once more sing ....
For those who leave us for a while,
Have only gone away
Out of a restless, care worn world,
Into a brighter day. (By Helen Steiner Rice.)
Thank you Carole for all your support. All my love. xxx
I Felt an Angel
I felt an angel near today, though one I could not see
I felt an angel oh so close, sent to comfort me
I felt an angel's kiss, soft upon my cheek
And oh, without a single word of caring did it speak
I felt an angel's loving touch, soft upon my heart
And with that touch, I felt the pain and hurt within depart
I felt an angel's tepid tears, fall softly next to mine
And knew that as those tears did dry a new day would be mine
I felt an angel's silken wings enfold me with pure love
And felt a strength within me grow, a strength sent from above
I felt an angel oh so close, though one I could not see
I felt an angel near today, sent to comfort me.
Thank you Carole for your lovely messages, they mean so much. Thinking of you as always. xxx
WE SHARE THE SAME PAIN
Dear Carole, I just had to write and say how sorry I am for the great losses you've had in your life. You have had every kind of grief one can have. My heart goes out to you and I am thinking of you as I too lost my younger brother at 40 then my precious wonderful husband in January 2005 and on Xmas night 2006 I lost my precious mum. I feel so desolate at times and I am so lonely. When my brother Laurence died in the shopping precinct of a massive heart attack the shock was so severe, as you well know, but I had Paul to get me through the dark days and I thought we would grow old togther as we idolised each other went everywhere together. My mum was my rock and kept me going after I lost Paul but then she died and now I feel so brokenhearted. Like you Carole there are voids in our lives that will never me filled but we have to keep going for those we have here. I am so sorry for your losses Carole to lose two sisters so young and your precious little boy as well and mum and dad is devastating but you are strong and will be till we all meet up with our precious angels. God bless you, take care Love Tricia xxx
The Cord.
The Cord
We are connected,
My Mum and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't been seen
By any on Earth.
This cord does it's work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.
I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my Mum to me.
The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed
It can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you're not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised...I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.
I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can't take it away!

We share the same pain
Dear Carole thank you from the bottom of my heart for the lovely tribute you left on Paul's site, it meant so much to me knowing that people like you care enough to take the time when you have many heartaches of your own. I lost my precious brother he was only 40, then I lost Paul and my mum was my rock then after only 8 weeks illness I lost her on Christams night 2006. My life is so empty and I feel so alone. Like you Carole I have to go on for my lovely son Gary and my grandchildren but it is so hard without Paul, it hurts so much I thought we would grow old together. Life is so unfair Carole why do the good people have to leave us when there are so many horrible mean people still on the earth. We share the same pain you and I and if we can give each other support through gts its nice. Our lives will never be the same there are voids that will never be filled, but knowing there are people who care so much will help us through the dark days. Once again sweetheart thank you so much.Take care Carole love Tricia xxx
