"No-one heard the footsteps of the angels drawing near,
Who took from earth to heaven the Mum I loved so dear.
She hasn't really left me, nor has she travelled far,
Just entered God's beautiful garden and left the door ajar."

This memorial is dedicated to our loved one Sheila Yvonne Masters (nee Wiles) who was born on
January 29th 1945 and passed away so unexpectedly on December 10th 2005. Beloved wife, mum, nanny,
daughter, sister, aunt and friend. Loved and missed by all. We will remember her forever.
Mum lived all her life in Peterborough. At the age of 17 she met my Dad, Bill, and they married two
years later. My brother, Paul, was born on February 15th 1966 and I was born on February 11th 1969.
Mum's family meant the world to her and she always did everything she could for us.

"A golden heart stopped beating,
Two willing hands are still.
The one who did so much for us
Is resting at God's will."

When Paul and I were young Mum stayed at home, but eventually started work at Marshfields School
where she helped to look after the children at lunch time. As was typical of Mum, if she could do
anything else to help out then she always did. She loved her work and found it a pleasure looking
after the children. She gave up work when my Dad retired in 1999.
Mum adored her granddaughter, my daughter Aimee. Sadly Mum passed away when I was six months
pregnant with my son, Jack. Mum was so excited at the thought of having another grandchild,
especially when we found out I was expecting a little boy. It breaks my heart to think that they
will never know each other.

"A wife, a mother, a nanny too,
This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stonger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a wife, not just as a mother.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you've earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts we'll eternally keep."

Judith. Reunited in heaven with her Dad, brother Peter and sister Diane.

"We little knew that morning that God would call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you but you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you the day God called you home.
You left us precious memories; your love is still our guide,
And although we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again."

Mum was taken ill on the morning of December 9th 2005. She and Dad were supposed to be coming over
to spend the day with me but just after 10.30am Dad phoned to say they wouldn’t be coming because
Mum was in hospital - she’d had a heart attack. To say I was shocked is an understatement and I
burst in to tears. Dad told me not to worry because Mum was OK but he was only saying this to keep
me calm. I was six months pregnant and had a few problems with my blood pressure. I phoned my
husband at work and we drove over to Peterborough District Hospital. Dad said that Mum had been
taken ill just after breakfast. She complained of a pain in her jaw and chest which gradually got
worse and worse and she also started being sick. Dad dialled 999 and an ambulance rushed Mum to
hospital where, on her arrival at A&E, she had to be resuscitated. She had suffered a heart attack
and was in a very serious condition. When we arrived the doctor explained that the blood clot which
had caused the heart attack had created a hole in mum’s heart and this is what was making things
more serious. Mum would need to be transferred to Papworth Hospital. At that point she was lucky to
still be alive. The ambulance which was supposed to be collecting Mum had been delayed (bad weather
had caused several accidents) and at one point I heard the doctor on the phone complaining about the
delay, saying the longer the wait the more Mum’s heart was dying. This isn’t a phone call I
wanted to overhear. Eventually the ambulance arrived and after making arrangements for our daughter
to be looked after when she finished school we drove over to Papworth with Dad (he wasn’t allowed
in the ambulance with Mum).
After being assessed by a doctor after Mum’s arrival at Papworth we were told that she would need
to be moved to Critical Care. She needed surgery to repair the damage to her heart, but if this was
done too soon the damaged tissue would still be too soft to be repaired, and leaving it too long
could create more problems. He said the only way to judge when it was the right time for the surgery
to be completed was to monitor her constantly. Mum would need an angioplasty to keep the damaged
artery open until surgery. Mum hated hospitals and any medical procedures so this must have been so
awful for her. Soon after this it was suspected that mum had suffered a mild stroke, although it was
only ever mentioned in passing. No-one sat down with us and said any more than that. Dad was going
to stay at the hospital but as Mum seemed reasonably settled we came home, but within a couple of
hours we had to drive all the way back to Papworth. A nurse had phoned to say that Mum had gone down
hill quite dramatically. The heart problem was stable but the stroke was causing problems.
I wasn’t prepared for how we found Mum when we got back to Papworth. She had been rolled over on
to her right side and wasn’t moving. Dad said that after we left she soon lost all feeling down
her left side. She then lost the ability to speak and then to see. Her face was paralysed with her
eyes half open. My poor Mum. It is an image that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Sadly
the heart attack and stroke were too much for her body to cope with. We sat there watching her die.
No more could be done to save her.
At 1.45am on Saturday 10th December 2005 Mum left us. Me, Dad and my husband, John, were with her as
she passed away. I hope she knew we were there, telling her how much we love her and would miss her.
I lost part of myself that day and in its place is an overwhelming feeling of loss and grief.
Nothing will ever take that feeling away.

"I sat and watched you breathing,
The whole room filled with gloom.
I couldn't believe that grieving
Would follow far too soon.
I sat and watched you dying;
How could this be so real?
Inside my heart was breaking;
Pain was all that I could feel.
I sat and watched you fading;
Your life was ebbing away.
In an instant my world was changing;
How I wanted you to stay.
I sat and watched you die Mum;
It's your time for eternal rest;
But God has called you home too soon,
I guess he only takes the best.
Inside my heart is aching
And the pain still lingers on.
Your life was not for taking;
I can't accept that you have gone."

Mum was such a warm, kind and caring person and would go out of her way to help anyone. She was the
best mother anyone could hope to have. I'll never get over losing her and I miss her with all my
heart. Wanting and needing someone who is no longer there is an unbearable feeling. I have never
cried so many tears.

"A beautiful nature, loyal and true.
One in a million dear Mum were you.
Never selfish, always kind.
These are the memories you left behind."

A prayer for you Mum:
Open your arms to welcome her;
Wrap them around her to keep her safe.
Find somewhere beautiful for her to rest;
A peaceful place so that she can sleep undisturbed.
Take away all her worries and pain;
Allow her stresses and strains to be left behind.
Let her know how much I love her and miss her;
Memories are all I have left.
Dear God, please take good care of her;
You took her from us far too soon.

SLEEP PEACEFULLY WITH THE ANGELS, MUM. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'VE GONE.

In The Light.
A shadow of joy flickered, it is me.
I told you I wouldn't leave.
My spirit is with you.
My memories, my thoughts are embedded deep in your heart.
I still love you.
Do not for one moment think that you have been abandoned.
I am in the Light.
In the corner, in the hall, the car, the yard...
these are the places I stay with you.
My spirit rises every time you pray for me,
but my energy comes closer to you.
Love does not diminish, it grows stronger.
I am the feather that finds you in the yard,
the dimmed light that grows brighter in your mind.
I place our memories for you to see.
We lived in our special way, a way that now has it's focus changed.
I still crave your understanding and long for the
many words of prayer and good fortune for my soul.
I am in the Light.
As you struggle to adjust without me, I watch silently.
Sometimes, I summon up all the strength of my new world
to make you notice me.
Impressed by your grief,
I try to impress my love deeper into your consciousness.
As you should, I call out to the Heaven's for help.
You should know that the fountain of youth does exist.
My soul is now healthy.
Your love sends me new found energy.
I am adjusting to this new world.
I am with you and I am in the Light.
Please don't feel bad that you can't see me.
I am with you wherever you go.
Talk to me and somehow I will find a way to answer you.
Mother, Father, son or daughter, it makes no difference.
Brother, sister, lover, husband or wife, it makes no difference.
Whatever our connection - friend or even foe - I see you with my new eyes.
I am learning to help wherever you are,
wherever I am needed.
This can be done because I am in the Light.
When you feel despair, reach out to me.
I will come.
Our love for you truly does transcend from Heaven to Earth.
Finish your life with the enthusiasm and zest that you had
when we were together in the physical sense.
You owe this to me, but more importantly, you owe it to yourself.
Life continues for both of us.
I am with you because I love you and I am in the Light.

❁ Heaven and Earth ❁
♥When the warmth of the sun touches my face,
♥I see your smile and feel your embrace.
♥I hear the whisper of love in the wind
♥And I know that you are close to me again.
♥The rain speaks of tears, the thunder of pain,
♥But soon the sun comes the earth to reclaim.
♥As the days come and go and the world moves on,
♥I know you're still here, you'll never be gone.
♥On the night the Angel came and took your hand,
♥We cried as you left for an unknown land.
♥But Heaven rejoiced as you came into sight.
♥For your soul was a diamond, shining so bright!

•♥ The Messenger ♥•
Written by Kirsti (Angel scribe)
From an Angel on high
a tender message of love was softly whispered into the ear
of this humble scribe....
○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○•○
Weep not for me
now that I have passed.
Remember the laughter, the affection, the joy
not just the recent tears.
Cherish the memories, our hopes and dreams.
Hold fast to the love that we shared.
Be happy with the time we spent together
and being anew.
For I am not really gone,
I am closer than ever before.
As the morning sun rises
and throughout the busy day...I am with you.
Until the setting sun disappears on the horizon
and we watch the day turn into night...I am here.
You may feel a faint breeze stir round your head, while you slumber
as I gently kiss your forehead, "Good night."
The stars that shine so brightly in my heavenly sky
help me watch over you and keep you from harm.
I am the wind in the trees
and the song of a bird.
I am moonbeams in a midnight sky
and a glorious rainbow after the storm.
I am morning dew
and freshly-fallen snow.
I am a butterfly flying overhead
and a puppy happily at play.
I am a smile on a stranger's face
a gentle touch
a warm embrace.
Listen to the wind for my message of love.
Watch the sun rise and set in the sky with me.
Feel my essence encircle you with warm memories.
Open your heart to know...I am not gone.
Reach deep into your soul...You will find me.
I am here.
Have no fear.
I am with you,
Always.

♥Softly As We Leave You♥
(Author Unknown)
Life is so uncertain, this we all may know....
No one knows the time or day,
when they'll have to go.
Though now our time has come to leave you
to face this world alone...
These promises we make you,
to give you strength to carry on.
When the sunlight awakens you,
we'll be there too.
When the moon shines on your pillow...
we'll be shining on you.
We'll be in the cooling breeze,
as it rustles through the trees..
we'll be in the pouring rain,
as it hits your window pane.
When darkness dims your vision,
close your eyes and look above
we'll be standing right beside you.
You will always have our love
May peace and comfort be upon you..
hold close our memories
For in our hearts we know that
no matter where you go...
Is where we'll always be.

The White Chariot
(Julie Johnson)
During your journey on your final flight home.
White wings will carry you and you will be flown.
To the pearly gates of Heaven, where they will usher you in.
To the feet of your Lord, your Saviour, and your friend.
He will hold you in his arms and the angels will sing.
As another one of His children is delivered by white wings.

GOOD MORNING SWEET ANGEL.
A loving gift of Rose's, just one can say it all,
To stand upon time's table, until the petals fall,
To draw the sun of morning, but no more to feel the dew,
On the other side of rose's,
I hurt from losing you.
On the other side of rose's with broken dreams and tears,
Not a shadow of despair, to recall, the precious years,
Alive I seen a rose in you, and feel your memory true,
On the other side of rose's,
My life I shared with you.
With petals gone to fade away, but leave sweet memories,
A velvet touch straight from the heart,
With love shown for me,
As shadows pass with setting sun,
There will forever be,
On the other side of rose's,
Your loving memory.
BY Billy M. Smallwood.

~ In My Mind (by Jenn Farrell) ~
Somewhere in my dreams tonight
I'll see you standing there,
You look at me with a smile
"Life isn't always fair."
You say you were chosen for His garden
His preciously hand picked bouquet,
"God really needed me
That's why I couldn't stay."
It's said to be that angels
Are sent from above,
I've always had my angel
Whose heart was filled with love.
Wherever the ocean meets the sky,
There will be memories of you and I.
When I look up at that sky so blue,
All I see are visions of you.
"While there's a heart in me, you'll be a part of me."
