My mam Anne Jack , was born in Clydebank in the April 1954. Her mother Sarah and father; Patrick also had 2 other daughters - Marion, eldest sister and Kathleen, youngest sister. They were brought up in Clydebank.
My mam and dad met at a party she was not supposed to be at in 1969. They married in the November 1973 in St. Margarets Chapel, Clydebank.
My mam gave birth to my sister; Karen in May 1977, my brother Gary in May 1978 and me - Elaine in August 1981. After giving birth to Karen my mam became a full time mother and housewife. Bringing us up mainly by herself as my dad worked away in West Africa.
We spent 16 years living in a small village in the Highlands; Golspie before moving back down to the Glasgow area in March 2000.
In January 2001, Karen gave birth to mams first granddaughter Codi Anne. I gave birth to my son, Lewis in October 2002 and my daughter, Joley in June 2006. My mam was the best granny in the world. Taking an active part in helping raise her grankids. She was a loving a doting granny. I can not think of the words to describe how proud a granny she was.
My mam was found dead on the 4th of August 2008 (My 26th Birthday). She had taken a tumble getting out of her bed and fell taking a fatal blow to her head.
She has left behind a heart broken husband who has lost his soul mate, devastated children and confused grandchildren, along with the rest of our small family in which she has played a massive part in all their lives.
My mam was an outstanding women who although was not in anyway a saint; she was feircely defensive protective and provided for her loving family until the very end. Our lives will never be the same again however they are so much better for her being in them from the start.
She was stolen from us far too early, the day she was taken from us a large part of our hearts died also. She will NEVER be forgotten and will ALWAYS be in our hearts and close in our thoughts.

Granny Anne
I had a wonderful granny,
One who never really grew old;
Her smile was made of sunshine,
And her heart was solid gold;
Her eyes were as bright as shining stars,
And in her cheeks fair roses you see.
I had a wonderful granny,
And that' s the way it will always be.
I miss you granny xxxx
A poem for my mam
Are u thinking of us as much as we are thinking of u?
Where sitting staring at the wall shaking our heads is all that we can do ?
Are u watching us watching the days pass by?
When on bad days all we can managed to do is cry
When a song on the radio or familiar sound
Has us dipping our heads and facing the ground
Our lives have changed and will never be the same
We have been left with only the constant pain
We still need you here that much is clear
We treasure our moments we had with you dear
The days go on, as we were told they would
They said it would get better but I wish it could
Its now left to us; Karen, Gary, Elaine and Dad
To remember you and what we once had
Your grandkids miss you so much, every day
They mention your name in almost everything they say
To be taken away from us without warning
Hardens the whole process of mourning
We didn’t get to say goodbye or thank you
It makes us saddened but In every attempt we have to carry through
So we say goodbye now and know we’ll meet another time
Where we will be a family once more and our hearts can finally again shine
I know your here mam:
My mother is always with me...
She's the whisper of the leaves
as I walk down the street.
She's the smell of bleach
in my freshly laundered socks.
She's the cool hand on your brow
when I'm not well.
Your mother lives inside my laughter.
She's crystallized in every tear drop.
She's the place I came from,
my first home...
She's the map I follow
with every step that I take.
She's my first love
and my first heart break...
and nothing on earth can separate us.
Not time, Not space...
Not even death...
will ever separate me
from my mother...
I carry her inside of me...
My Mam

A wife, a mother, a granny too,
This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a wife not just as a mother.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you've earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts, we'll eternally keep
My Granny Anne
One Of A Kind
The funny beautiful lady
That means so much to me
May be gone from the land of the living
But with me she will always be
Because my memory holds her dearly
And my mind recalls her ways
And most of all I love her
A love that always stays
It stays inside my memory
And is often on my mind
Because a lady like my Granny Anne
Is rare and hard to find.
Luv you Granny xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
My big sister
When I was at school you were my protective big sister.
When I went on my first date you lent me your clothes and did my make up.
When our children were young we saw each other nearly every day, forging a bond between them. They are still good friends today.
When you moved to Golspie we kept in touch, still seeing each other when we could and swapping family news and gossip.
When you came back down and settled in Balloch we were able to meet more easily, not needing notice.
I thought it would be like that forever.
Sometimes I still think you're there and I'll see you soon. I don't know when it will fully sink in that I won't.
Maybe never.
I know I'll always miss you and your unique character. You were a one-off and the world is a sadder place now you're not here.
Rest peacefully big sis.
Lots of love

Sleep Tight xx
Our hearts are truly broken
Our life's have fell apart
Don't know how to pick up the peices
Or where to even start
You touched our lives so deeply
Didn't realize just how much
Having to accept that you are gone
Is the most heartbreaking thing
we will ever have to do
We have fantastic memories
With that we will never part
You will be with us in spirit
And deep inside our hearts
Don't know if the sadness
And the heartache will ever go away
They say that times a healer
Doesn't fell like that today
Miss You soo much xx
Truly loved by everyone.
Glad i had a chance to meet her. Mine and Dereks thoughts are with everyone over there.
Until that day !
Until that day i'll think of u
the love we shared the memorys too
until that day i'll think of u
i'll try so hard in all i do
until that day i'll think of u
u had to leave with no goodbye
until that day i see u again
ur in my heart ur everywhere
Until that day !
R.I.P Aunty Anne Miss you soo much xxx
Mum
Every morning I ask myself why?
For I know I'll never see her again
It makes me want to cry
I never even got to say goodbye
I know she is safe
But why did she have to leave??
Miss you mum xx
