Joanne faught like a lion against a grade 2 astrocytoma brain tumor on her left temporal lobe for 9 years. The tumor was diagnosed in 1997 and had two operations to remove it, the first was followed by Radio therapy in 1999 which removed over half the tumor and so carried on a relatively normal life until it showed signs of re-growth at the end of 2004. headaches been causing her tremendous pain and cognitive problems. On the 07 February 2005 Joanne underwent a second attempt to remove the tumor after which we were give the greatest news that this time due to new techniques they had managed to remove all visible tumor tissue.
For the first time in over seven years Joanne was actually Tumor free and looking forward to life with so much zest and enthusiasm apart form a weakening in her right arm and leg left by the operation but Joanne was fantastic she had the 12 month all clear in March 2006 after the follow up chemo. On the 22 July we had the 2nd happiest day of our life when we finally got married after a 10 year engagement with all our best freinds and family there to enjoy it with us everyone truely had the best day but the first being when our son Ben was born in 1996 to whom she was a wonderful and doting mother.
Joanne always had a smile that could light up the darkest room and anyone who came into contact with her had a friend for life. She was an Angel on earth and the love of my life. On the last day of our honeymoon in Mexico Joanne felt unwell on our return to the UK we took her to get checked out and it was then that our worst fears were confirmed her Tumor had returned with vengeance it had not only come back but changed to a grade 4 GMB the worstand most aggressive kind .
Joanne fought bravely and with her heart still filled with so much love for her family and friends she finally let go at 4am on the Saturday the 02/12/2006 with her hands held by her loving husband Craig and devoted parents Christine and Robert.
Joanne our lives were so rich with you in it and so can never be the same again, the pain of you not being hear with me to watch our son grow up is sometime more than I can bear. You’re in my heart and you’re in my head and you'll be remembered every day
I love you
Rest in peace my sweet beautiful Girl
A Poem for Chris
A Message to my Daughter
We walked together, you and I
A Mother and her Daughter
We had Hopes and Dreams for tomorrow.....
But tomorrow didn't come.
We walked together you and I
We talked, we laughed we loved.
We shared so many happy times,
And for that I thank the Lord above.
We walked together, you and I
But only for a short time.
For all too soon it ended
Leaving pieces of a broken heart behind
And even though I miss you
More than words could ever say.
I thank God that I got to walk with you
Every precious moment of every day....
Thank You
Joanne (0n your Birthday)
Thank you for your Love showed
Thank you for smiles you made
Thank you for the times we had
Thank you for the being my friend
Thank you for the memories we lived
Thanks you for the son we share
Thank you for all you did
Thank you for being my wife
But most of all thank you for being you
I just wish you we here to tell you
Please do not be unhappy,
just because I’m out of sight,
remember I am with you,
every morning noon and night.
The day I had to leave you,
when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me,
and said I welcome you.
I will be beside you,
every day, week and year,
and when you’re sad I’m standing there
to wipe away the tear.
To my very many friends,
trust God knows what is best,
I’m still not far away from you,
I’m just beyond the crest.
And when you are walking down the
street and you’ve got me on your mind,
I’m walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind.
There are rocky roads ahead of you,
and many hills to climb,
but together we can do it,
taking one day at a time.
Afternoon Craig hope your having a good day my thoughts are with you XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Go ahead and mention my loved one,
The one that died,you know.
Don't worry about hurting me further,
The depth of my pain doesn't show.
Don't worry about making me cry,
Im already crying inside.
Help me to heal by releasing
The tears i try to hide.
Im hurt when you just keep silent
Pretending they didn't exist.
I'd rather you mention my loved one.
Know that they have been missed.
You asked me how i'm doing,
I say pretty good or fine.
But healing is something on going,
and i know it will take a lifetime.
Mothers day wish
God made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He moulded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.
if there is a mothers day in heaven hope you have a great day. I miss you so much mum
I love you and miss you so much mum
love form your little boy Ben xxx
for ben....
i found this poem and it makes me smile when i think of my mum... hope it helps you as well
You'll come across reminders
And once again they're there
Something in a pocket
Or thats slipped right down a chair
You'll break down and you'll cry again
Clutching this treasure that you've found
But maybe your loved ones telling you
Dont worry Im around
I miss you Mum
Mum I miss you so much, your big smile made me feel so happy when you used to wake me up in the morning.
Sweet dreams Mum. Your loving little boy Ben.
god bless x
i found this poem touching so i thought that you may like it x
We go through life so often
Not stopping to enjoy the day,
And we take each one for granted
As we travel on our way.
We never stop to measure
Anything we just might miss,
But if the wind should blow by softly
You'll feel an Angel's Kiss
A kiss that is sent from Heaven
A kiss from up above,
A kiss that is very special
From someone that you love.
For in your pain and sorrow
An Angels kiss will help you through,
This kiss is very private
For it is meant for only you.
So when your hearts are heavy
And filled with tears and pain,
And no one can console you
Remember once again
About the ones you grieve for
Because you sadly miss
And the gentle breeze
You took for granted
Was just - An Angel's Kiss

This time last year a family member was suddenly taken from us at the tender age of 16, he was found by his mother in his bed half dressed, he died of a heart attack,his name was Nathan,he was the most active person ud ever meet with a bright future ahead,it sent the family into deep shock,it was later diagnoised he sufferd a rare heart condition that runs in the family but unknown if undetected!! His family are raising money for the charity known as cry... cardiac risk in th young! its bad when anybody is taken away from us but believe they are taken for a reason, its worse when they are so young as Nathan and Joanne were! Life will go on but you will never forget these precious people and i doubt they will ever forget you!!!! xxxxxxx
