From the Thornton's chocolate footballs that were a constant as a child to your unfailing and steadfast love and support as an adult, I now take great comfort and solace that you are reunited with the loved ones you have lost over the years. For a long time now I’ve missed our weekly calls, your wonderfully dry sense of humour, the endless coughing and spluttering when I made you laugh so much that you had to ring off to compose yourself, your indignation on my behalf when things weren't going well but most of all, I miss hearing you call me 'my darling’. You offered me the chance to have a maternal figure in my life when my own had long since passed and extended that love to my daughter. It makes me sad that you are no longer here but I’m thankful that your suffering is finally over. You will remain a part of me forever and I will love you forever. Godspeed Aunty Pat and god bless.

In memory of a woman who clearly loved and lived life to the full despite many losses. She was loved and cared for diligently by her wonderful Neice, Sian and husband Neville despite distance and administrative difficulties.

To my Great Aunty Pat, may you rest in peace until we meet again. One of my favourite memories of you is all of us - Bob, Nev, mum, you, and me - sitting together in your lounge, chatting while watching some TV, when Countdown came on. I remember how you lit up and we sat there, stunned, as you began rapidly firing off the correct answers to question after question while we scrambled to keep up. I was so impressed and realised for the first time what an amazing woman my Great Aunt really was! Now that you've passed on, I'm sad to say I regret not having made more memories with you. You were always interested in how I was doing, and I think often became indignant on my behalf when speaking to my mum about various things that went on. I may even have inherited my love of music and singing from you, for which I will be eternally grateful! While I’m sad you’re no longer with us, I’m relieved to know that your suffering has ended, and I pray you’ve found happiness in being reunited with your lost loved ones. Lots of love Great Aunty Pat, and rest in peace xxx
