1 of 13 brothers and sisters Lily was the last, she out lived her husband Jim Mclean and son George. Family left are daughter Sadie,Grand daughter Lynda Grandson Alan and Great gran children Alistair, Holly, Ross and Cameron, son in law Andy grand son in law Colin and grand daughter in law Christine. The last couple of days my Gran was in a lot of pain, we prayed that she would soon be at peace.On the night she died we were all lucky enough to spend her last moments on earth together in her room. When my gran took her last breath I was there holding her hand and it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I hope and pray that she knew that all her family were with her and how much we all loved her. I will never forget how dying changed my Grans face it was so tense and full of pain, afterwards she looked at peace and was pain free. After she was gone the guilt crept in only a few hours before I had prayed for God to take her and he did, I wanted my granny back how dare he take her , it was only after I sat with gran for a while i realised that she was no longer in pain and that she was at last with my grampa Jim. Her skin was perfect no pain in her eyes no fear of leaving us all behind she looked just like Gran.Days before Gran had told me not to be sad but to be happy for she knew where she was going and that she had no fear of that,I wish I had my grans faith sometimes, I have no doubt in my mind though that my gran is in heaven looking down on us all. I only hope now that we can live our lives and make my Gran proud of us all.
Lily Mclean my wonderful, beautiful Gran...........
Happy Birthday Granny Lil
with lots of love and hugs

A year has passed already , it only seems like yesterday you left us for a better world. The pain has eased a little but I still miss you more than ever. Look down on us from Heaven Gran snd never be far from us x x x x
Your passing created a heartache that time has not been able to heal, but your memory created a love that no one will be able to steal xx
love u gran x
Tonight i saw an angel
I am sure that it was you
Its wings were white as snow
Is it you? sure its you, its true
Yes your that angel
That i saw outside tonight
The one with pure white wings
That lit up in the moonlight
You seemed to wave your hand
To my bedroom where i sleep
At first i was frightened
Behind the curtains i peeped
I cant believe that you have come
From heaven just to visit me
Im so happy that i could cry
I wish that all the family could see
Its made my wishes all come true
Its what ive asked for every night
For just one visit from my love
Just one, and i will be alright
~~~~~~~Forever~~~~~~~
We cant let go of yesterday
Or part with all our thoughts
We drown in many tears that fall
Sometimes we cant be caught
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We fall from heights we cant get up
We feel were on the wrong track
But at the end of that tunnel
Theres a light that leads us back
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our hearts shattered like broken glass
No one can repair the damage thats done
For when you went and left us here
Thats the day our heartache begun
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We long to see your smiling face
To talk just a little while
Swap all we had to get you back
And see that cheeky smile
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forever in our hearts you stay
Etched in our minds forever
We know that one day we will meet again
And for that we will wait for ever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You bought sunshine into our
Lives on days when there was
Rain. You replaced our sorrows
With happiness on the days
When we felt pain. The love
You gave to others is agift so
Priceless, so rare, forever,
Until eternity. In our hearts you
Will always be there.

i wasnt with my grandparents when they passed but i loved them still. dearly too. i can know part of your pain, my grandad died 5 months after i got married, he was poorly then, but im glad he made it. that was nearly 12 years ago, my nan died nearly 5 years ago now, they say time heals, im not so sure, take care xx
You never said im leaving,
You never said goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knew why.
A million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried,
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still,
In our hearts you hold a place,
That only you can fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
As part of us went with you,
The day God took you home!
