This page is dedicated to my Beautiful Grandmother

Emma Lily Howarth

3 July 1914 - 10 October 1997

For as long as I can remember, my Nan has always been there in both good times, and bad. Alas! Now she is gone! But I closed my eyes and I see her, I feel her. I hear her whispered reassurance of her forever presence.

My Nan was the best Nan any little girl could wish for. Her clear blue eyes always glistened and sparkled. Her beautiful face was always lit with happiness and her soul filled with serenity. Her voice a melody. Her smile was so much sweeter than any delicious cake, lolly or culinary delight she lovingly made for me. Her cuddles and kisses soothed away any hurt. Her kindness out shone the brightest of stars in the night sky. Her nimble fingers sewed furnishings, knitted and stitched garments and creative craft to envy. My Nan always dressed in a rainbow of our Lord's promise. Her stride always held purpose. Her patience was to be admired. Her love and friendship to be treasured. It never was an issue that my Sister Susan, Brother Warren and myself were adopted. My Nan loved us equally and unconditionally.My Nan rarely complained, though, throughout her life she was not immune to grief, tragedy or hardship. She suffered her own personal losses, anguish and pain. But never again. No longer to suffer. Now in the care of the Angels.

I will always love my Nan.

  My Precious Lily

 

My precious Lily

Oh my courageous Lily

Peace has come at last

There's no more pain for you

Now sleep my Lily

My precious Lily

No more is there to do

You lie so still

Not a breath

Our Lord has taken your hand

So go my Lily

Be not afraid

This is how God has planned

Your earthly presence a memory

Now forever etched

I can feel as I grieve

But I see your face

You're smiling now

My Lily's forever free

Should I rejoice?

Should I weep?

Mortal existence allows a choice

Yes my Lily

My precious Lily

I know I should rejoice

I lift myself through tearful eyes

To the brightest star above

Yes my Lily

My precious Lily

It's you who smiles with love.

Precious Lily Sleep

Cradled in the arms of our Lord

My precious Lily sleep

Our tears blessed by the Angels

We pray the Lord your soul to keep

Oh Lord! Of love and mercy

We'll miss out precious Lily so

Light for her the brightest path

So she'll know where to go

Lord! Lead our Lily by the hand

To the Heavens up above

Please guide her to your warm embrace

And send with her our love

A precious flower whose memory

Will bloom in our hearts forever

 

Treasured Mother of Margaret, Roger (Deceased) and Wayne

Cherished Nan of Susan, Warren (Deceased) and Jennifer, kim and Leigh, Richard, Andrew and Melanie.

Adored Great Grandmother of Nicholas, Tayla and Amber
