Marie Abrahams nee Kay, born May 20th 1940 died November 13 1991. Wife of John, mum to Susan and Ann and grandmother to Helen and Zach. Mum was born and brought up in Thatto Heath, St Helens, by her aunty and uncle (Tom and Annie Kay) as her mum died after having her. Although she was an only child to them, she had a brother and two sisters that I know of. She was educated at Cowley High school and always wanted to be a librarian but went to work in Littlewoods. She met dad in 1963 and married in 1964. They moved to Toxteth as dad was from Liverpool. I was born 1966 (Ann) and my sister arrived in 1969 (Susan) Mum worked part time as a book keeper after having us for Allmay and Layfields. She also did book keeping for most of the local shops and everyone knew her in the area. She also worked as a Dr's receptionist and in Pat's dairy as a shop assistant. At one point she even had her own shop on High Park Street. Mum loved her cats and had numerous over the years as well as pet dogs for dad. Mum was very well mannered and never allowed us to run wild, eat food in the street or forget good manners, and one of her favourite sayings was "you were brought up not dragged up!" She encouraged us both to read, to be creative and to live life to the full. She may not have been the greatest cook (she swore granny smiths instant pastry and bisto's instant gravy saved her life) or the most efficient mum at ironing and cleaning up (she paid us to do it as soon as we were able to) but she showered us in the kind of love, security and adoration that makes us miss her every day. Her wisdom could fill several books and both Susan and I are fond of saying wish mum was here when we hit a life obstacle - she would have known what to do. She shared her wisdom to all around her who needed her advice and support, she never turned anyone away from the door if they needed help and no matter who turned up there was always a cup of tea and something to eat on offer. My friends all loved her because she never judged them, she just accepted them for who they were. We could never get through to speak to her on the phone as there was always someone who needed to have her shoulder to cry on. She was never afraid of dying and left us secure in the knowledge that she would always be around us to watch over us and protect us. Susan and I would not be the women we are today without her influence. I am proud to say she was my mum.

Hi Mum, hope you are watching over us. I guess you saw what happened on Suzy's birthday but I knew you were keeping us all safe at the time. I did what you would have done and hoped the person who took her purse needed it more than our Sue but it still smarts. Please watch over Nells as she takes her steps into independence as you know I have been worrying about her even though she is growing up. I missed you at Christmas as I know ait was your favourite time of the year. Send some healing love to dad as I know he is worrying about his health as are we, I love you mum and never stop missing you xxxx your AngiePange

rose once grew
where all could see,
sheltered beside
a garden wall,
And as the days passed
swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall...

One day, a beam of light
shone through
a crevice that had
opened wide ~
The rose bent gently
toward its warmth
then passed beyond
to the other side

Now, you who deeply
feel its loss,
be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~
its beauty even greater now,
nurtured by
God's own loving care.

Hi mum me again. I felt you around us both yesterday. Suzy needed to hear the comforting words that you sent us from the meeting with the lady and I knew that you sent me a message I had needed to hear. You were so missed as I know if we had you here in life you would have been there at the conference with us hopefully not heckling the speakers!! I feel you send me little bits of synchronicity that are reminders of your spiritual presence in our lives and I hear them mum. Dad needs your love and healing as he is bad with his legs and he misses you so much mum so send him lots of your love. Missing you loads and loving you forever my beautiful amazing mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Happy birthday mum for 20/5 We miss you so much. Sue and I could feel you around us on the day but it never stops us wanting to see you. I know you were there on Tuesday (27/5) and that you had Zak with you. Take care of him I miss him too. I hope that you can feel the love we have for you and that you hear our thoughts when we are thinking of you. I am creating a cross stitch of the picture of you and dad and every stitch brings with it another memory of you. I could really do with one of your hugs right now and I know Sue could too. As you always said we are never too old for a hug. Love you loads mum xxxxxxxxxx Annie
