Betty, my mother, was taken from us on 17th September 2007, after being diagnosed with lung cancer exactly three months earlier. Betty was a wonderfully quiet, kind, caring person who was always considering others and never herself. Betty was also the most courageous person I have ever known. Beautiful Angel, my mother, up above Thank you for your guidance and love You are missed, yet remembered with every beat of my heart, In my life you will always play a huge part. I am so lost without you, but I hear your voice, I know when you left this life it was not by choice. You were summoned to live in heaven some time ago, But you continue to guide and protect me, of that I truly know. So rest in peace Mummy, whilst you quietly wait, Until I come to join you on my destiny's date. To Be An Angel For a moment you were here and then you were taken, Never to be forgotten, nor forsaken. For you are loved today as much as tomorrow, Through our memories you guide us through our sorrows. For you are with us when we awake And when we close our eyes to sleep, Our Betty, Our Angel A place forever in our hearts is forever yours to keep. Betty (Elizabeth) Kilburn 12-07-1936 - 17-09-2007 Always an Angel on Earth now an Angel in Heaven.
