Little did we know that morning
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
you are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
If we could have a lifetime wish
and one dream that could come true
We would pray to God with all our
hearts just to see and speak to you
A thousand words won’t bring you back
We know because we’ve tried
and neither will a million tears
We know because we’ve cried
You’ve left behind our broken hearts
and precious memories too
But we’ve never wanted memories
We only wanted you

Marlene soon met and fell in love with George Cannings. they were married in 1966,

Every Christmas mom done the house up like santas groto,
She loved christmas and made sure everyone else did too,
when we was Children Mom and Dad would stay up all night Christmas Eve, i never did understand this, i think its because Mom got excited, Then when we all grown up as we was to old to be spoilt as we was as kids she spoilt both mine and our Steves kids to make up for it,
Mom always liked us to go over to them for Christmas,You would think she was feeding an army.

I started to build my Tribute to my mom Marlene Cannings so that my son who's only 4 months old, and so never knew his gran, when he's older he can come here and learn of her.
