To John, Nick, Matthew and all family.
I really cared for your mum and looking after her wasn’t just a job for me, I grew to love her. I got to see her many personalities and they were all very kind. She showed me many times how grateful she was for my help and we had some laughs and fun times when we went walking. I have so many fond memories of her and our short time together. Thank you for giving me the privilege of the opportunity to be able to take care of her, it was such a pleasure. Sending you love and strength at what is such a difficult time. Magda

You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
