Susan Swallow (or Sue as she liked to be known as), was born on 15th May 1949, and died at the age of 53 on 4th April 2003 (her dads birthday).. just less than 3 months after her dads death on 17th February 2003. Leaving her mum (who is still alive), husband, brother, children and grand-children behind.

My names Daisy, Sue's first and oldest grand-daughter, im now 16 and was 12 when she died. My nanny was the most amazing, kind and caring person i have ever known. she was known to her eight grand children as Nanny Tess. (if alive now, she would have 10 grand-children)
Nanny lived with her husband Len at Knettishall. Nanny worked at Roudam Farm, sorting and picking asparagus. She has 4 children, Debbie the oldest, who has two children Ben and Christopher. Helen, who has three children, me...Daisy, Holly and Jack. Paul, who has 5 children, Matt, Laura, Anna, William and Albert (William and Albert were born after nanny had died) and Mark, nannys youngest child who has no children, and now lives in Australia. Nanny has a brother Dennis, who has two children Megan and Caitlin.


My Nan was only 53 when she died, which i think is far too young. i dont understand why it was her who died, she didnt deserve to. She was a brave, strong woman, who i strongly admire, and would love to be like when im older.
Unfortunatly we can never bring her back, but can still see her in our dreams, and pictures. we also have the memories of her that we will all treasure forever in our hearts.

But i know that she will always be there looking after me, watching over my shoulder and making sure im ok, i know that when i have children of my own, she will be there watching them too.


sleep well nanny, love you and miss you loads

Forever in our hearts
As each day passes we remember the happiness that life once brought
the laughter and the fun.
The days of sadness we try to forget but some how is always there
and the tears that we cry.
At the end of each day as we say our last goodnights we say a little prayer
to keep you save.
Our golden memories that we have and that we love to share is how we
know that you are there.
We close our eyes and what can we see a smiling face looking down
on us each day.
No one can take our dreams away of on day we will be together again
and never part again.

Thinking of you always forever in our hearts x x x

The Easter Story

Jesus came to compensate
For all the wrongs we do.
He came to earth to die for us,
So we’d be born anew.


"This bitter cup, let it pass from me,"
He cried, in a plaintive voice;
"Yet not My will, but Thine be done;"
He said, in His faithful choice.


The Judas kiss would seal his fate;
He faced a hostile crowd;
The governor, Pilate, saw through it all;
Jesus’ guilt he disavowed.


"I wash my hands of all of this,"
Said Pilate, "Let Him be."
But the crowd yelled "Crucify him now,
And set Barabbas free!"


Pilate yielded to their wish;
And Jesus was led away.
The soldiers beat him, and mocked Him, too,
Yet He continued to obey.


A crown of thorns lay on His head,
As His sentence was carried out;
His hands and feet were pierced with nails,
But He did not scream or shout.


"Father, forgive them for this crime;
They know not what they do."
He said this despite His torment, because,
He was thinking of me and you.


"It is finished," he sighed in His anguish and pain,
As His body gave up to death.
The curtain tore, and darkness fell,
After He took His last breath.


The best of the story is the very last part;
It’s why on Easter we’re filled with pleasure:
Death could not our Savior hold;
His power is beyond all measure.


He rose from the grave, and was seen all around;
Ever since, He’s inspired devotion,
And we’ll be with Him for eternity,
When we get our heavenly promotion.


That’s why Easter is a major event:
He suffered and died in our place.
He rose and forgave us and loves us still,
Our Savior of matchless grace.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

In the sky above us high there shinnes a thousand stars
for each of those shinning stars there is a angel there.
As Christmas is approaching we remember each day
our very special angels that we have loved and lost.
You are forever in our thoughts that leads us to the pain
of knowing that your far away but always in our hearts.

Thinking of you dear angel and all your loved ones here on earth.
Merry Christmas.

There is a special place
a place so dear to us.
It holds all our memories
that we have kept of you.
This place we visit often
when we need to feel you close.
We hear you tender voice
and see your loving smile.
We know that you are with us
walking by our side.
This place is in our heart
thats where we keep you now.
Untill the day we meet again
and you hold us in your arms.
Love and missed always.

Angels are a gift from heaven above
a way for us to remember.
A loved one that for what ever reason
has gone from our lives.
When ever we feel sad where do we
turn first for help.
When we feel we can not go on
what do we do.
Who is it we think about for the
guidence that we need each day.
Our angel up above takes care of us
each day in may different ways.
Love goes to each beautiful angel
who we miss each day. x x x

My angels the next few week are going to be tough for me I am sorry if I dont light your candles each day but you are always in my heart. x x x x
