Our dear mother was taken from us far too early. Her death was caused by a house fire which contributed to her breathing problems and death was finally ruled due to COPD. As her death was initially caused by a house fire in her flat, we as a family had a very hard time after the fire as it occured on the 26/9 only 3 days after her 55th birthday and for a further 3 days we sat at her bedside hoping and praying that she would pull through. Sadly this was not to happen as 3 days later on the 29/9 we were told the devasting news that our mum was not going to wake up and that i had to give permission for the hospital to switch off her ventilator. This was the hardest decision that my family and i have every had to make. But our mother being the fighter that she was held on to her life for 1hr and 35mins before she finally went to sleep for the last time.
As her death was classed as suspicious, we as a family had to undergo a series of police interviews which was very hard to deal with at this time and then to make things even more difficult we had to wait 10 weeks before they finally released her poor body to us for burial only due to the circumstances of her death. During this time my oldest brother stephen and i had to formally identify her body in the city morgue, this is an image of our mum that will stay in our minds till the day that we die as it was very upsetting as she didnt look like our mum at all.
Our mum was a very happy, fun loving person who would do anything for anybody if she could. If you had no money and she only had £1 in her purse she would give it to you. She was always up for a laugh and some fun. She loved spending time with her family, her daughters annemarie and partner george, tracy and partner ewan and her grandkids jo and scott, her sons stephen and partner louise and martin and his good friend john.
She also had her own very loving siblings bobby, margaret and lizzie and their kids.
We all love and miss our dear mum everyday, the pain of her going will never go away it only feels a little bit easier due to the family support that we give each other.
