Vale My Dearest Mum Maureen Forbes




MAUREEN NOLA FORBES 26th Dec 1931 - 21st May 2008
**********************************************
Sometime in the early morning of Wednesday May 21 st of 2008,
My dearest mum passed away ..peacefully at Caritas Christi in Kew.

She has endured a long battle with bowel cancer and her struggle to
overcome it was too much for her frail body.

I spent some close and loving time with her the previous day and somehow I knew her time was close.

I said my goodbyes, misty eyed as always ... I left her three times but something drew me back to her each time.
She said in her frail voice "I love you"and I gave her what was to be our last embrace.

As I left I prayed her suffering would end and she would find peace.

She died peacefully that night.

I loved her dearly and we will miss her always.

I have not been able to write of this until now as it saddens me so much.

I dedicate this Josh Groban song to her memory.

May you fly with the Angels my dearest Mum.
