My mum Patsy Bowers died on Christmas Day 2006 age 75 years. For many years she was an Auxilliary Nurse at Fazakerley Hospital, she loved her work and was very dedicated to caring for the sick and elderley.My mum was the youngest of 16 children brought up in Garibaldi Street Everton by my grandparents Maggie and Isaac McGowan. Her brother Danny was a well known Liverpool boxer. In June 1951 she married my dad Les Bowers who lived in Roscommon Street Everton and the following year on 13th July 1953 I was born. Ive always been called Tricia by the family. In 1956 most of the family moved up to Westvale in Kirkby. In may 1957 my lovely brother Laurence was born, he was a lovely singer and entertainer, but sadly he had a massive heart attack and died in Kirkby town centre on 7th October 1997, he was only 40 years of age. It broke our hearts to lose such a lovely man one of life's gentlemen, he was loved by everyone. But then he took after mum she was the same, Mum never got over losing such a precious son. In April 1963 mum had another daughter Lesley Ann she was the baby of the family and very precious too. We were all so close, always got on with each other, me being the eldest watched over them. My mum was our shining star always there for us, loving affectionate she idolised the three of us. Me being the eldest had her first grandchild Gary in 1973 he was the light of her life, he was the only grandchild for 12 years. Then Lesley had her first child Christopher in 1982, who died at only 5 days old. Mum was heartbroken. Then 1984 Lesley had mums first granddaughter, Lesley Patricia, then Lee James in 1984 and after that came Jason John in 1989. That was Lesley's family complete. Laurence had only child Lauren in 1990 mum was thrilled, we all had children and she idolised and spoilt each and every one of them. Lauren was only 7 when her dad passed away. Over the years mum lost all her brothers and sisters Maggie at 46 Babs at 53 Danny 64. She lost the only remaining sister our Josy in November 2005 that left her without any family members. In January 2005 I lost my previous husband Paul he was only 53 my mum was brokenhearted as she said he was like a son to her, and she was like a mother to him. They were very alike and were friends. After Paul died mum started to suffer kidney problems. She was 75 on the 9th November 2006 and three days earlier she had her bloods done and we got a call to say they were not too good and that she was in end state kidney failure. Mum had been in hospital a 3 or 4 times and hated it, she missed us all so much. She decided she wanted to be at home to end her days surrounded by us. So the day after her birthday the McMillan nurses brought in a bed and I moved in and stayed on the settee with her. My dad and sister Lesley, between us took great care of her. She was so happy being were she was, she knew she was dying, but was content being surrounded by her family. Mum was a very proud and beautiful lady she had to look nice every day and she was so pleasant. She was a very brave lady and did what she wanted to do with dignity. She said I was her own BUPA nurse, that always made me laugh. I would wake through the night and if she was awak I would make some tea and toast for her and we would chat away until the early hours. It broke my heart watching her but I treasure the time spent with her those 7 weeks. Four days before Christmas day the nurse said she needed the driver in because she was starting with heart failure. This they did and she never woke up again and passed peacefully at 9.00 pm on Christmas night, surrounded by my Dad, her children and grandchildren and all her loving nieces and nephews, many in laws and friends who gave up their Christmas Day to be with her. Thay all came at 12 noon when the nurse told us it was time and they all stayed, the house was full. My mum used to say those 7 weeks im doing it my way, and that she did. I am very proud of my mum she was the bravest lady I know and she was my life and I miss her so much I am so lost and lonely without her. She shone, she had a fabulous personality and everyone who came into contact with her loved her. She was loving and giving with a heart of gold and one day I pray to God we will all meet up never to part again. I love you mum, you were one in a million and you were mine.
WITHOUT YOU ANGEL

Sometimes when i am feeling Lonely
I'ts just too hard to say,
I keep thinking over & over when i heard
I had lost you that day!
The tears they keep coming, and the thoughts
i turn over in my head,
The words i would have liked you to here
but i know i never said.
Oh my Angel i do miss you and i know
how much its true
i have to get use to living my life again
living it without you,
But although i cannot see you, i still know
that you are here
Guiding and watching over us
and keeping us quite near!

An Angel in Your Pocket
I am a tiny angel ...
I'm smaller than your thumb
I live in people pockets
That's where I have fun
I don't suppose you've seen me
I'm too tiny to detect
Though I'm with you all the time
I doubt we've ever met
Before I was an Angel
I was a fairy in a flower
God, Himself hand-picked me
And give me Angel power
Now God has many Angels
That He trains in Angel pools
we become His eyes, and ears, and hands
We become His specials tools
And because God is so busy
With way too much to do
He said that my assignment
Was to keep close watch on you
Then He tucked me in your pocket
Blessing you with Angel care
Saying I must never leave you
And I vowed to stay right here !

Pass this on to everyone that you want to have
"an angel in their pocket " -

When dawn's first light turned into day,
Who knew an angel would soon call me away,
And though I did get to say Good-Bye,
I leave three more things to help you get by;
I leave courage, that you might see
your heart can rebuild a world without me
I leave you faith, that you might believe the
spirit will survive no matter how much we grieve
And I leave you love, to comfort you in it's healing
embrace until we meet again, in another place....

As i float along the milky way
I arrive at heavens door
And to my suprise theres people
And faces ive seen before
I feel happy and elated
A golden gate opened for me
As i step inside this place
Im amazed by what i see
Theres trees lined with gold
There flowers that never die
And teardrop dont exist
Im so happy, but i cant cry
Theres harps playing softly
And friends that i once knew
Hold out their hand to greet me
In the this land of sky blue
Theres a smell of the flowers
Its like nothing ive smelled before
Theres gold dust about my feet
And a welcome on my garden door
Yes i like this place called heaven
Even though i will miss you so
But i will visit you often
Even though you wont know
And as i thank my father beside me
For opening his golden gates
They toast a wine to greet me
The lord and my new found mates

If I had one last day
to tell you what's inside.
I'd tell you that i'm sorry
for all the times i've lied.
I'd tell you that i need you
to hold my hand today.
I'd tell you that I love you
I'd ask you, please to stay.
You'd look at me and smile
The way you always would.
And say I'd love to stay
If only I really could.
Then you'd laugh the way you did
Whenever i was blue,
you'd wipe my tears and whisper softly
Don't cry I Love you too.
If I had one last day
I'd love you from the start
I'd stop hiding how i feel
I'd say whats in my heart.
If I had one last day
I'd say my last good-bye
And that even though you are far away
In my heart, you'll never die.
It's now getting near that time
When we miss our angels more
They are more precious than anything else
How we wish our angels were here once more
If it were in our power
We would bring our angels back
As it's getting so very close
To Christmas that time of year
The Christmas lights will twinkle
And reflect in all our tears
As we sit and pray dear lord
Why can't we have our angels near
So all our happy memories
Must dull the pain we feel
And soothe our hearts and souls
Till we are back with our precious angels
At Christmas
At this time of the year
So we wish all our angels in heaven
A happy Christmas cheer
As we raise our glass to heaven
We just wish we could have you back
for just one more year.

Christmas Memories of an Angel in Heaven
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ There's a very special place
Beyond the skies above
Somewhere very peaceful

That special place is Heaven
Where you're free to laugh and roam
It was your time to go there
So the Angels took you home

Each day throughout the year
At special times like christmas
We all wish you could be here

ONENESS
The moment I die,
I will try to come back to you
as quickly as possible.
I promise it will not take long.
Isn't it true
I am already with you,
As I die each moment
I come back to you in every moment.
Just look,
Feel my presence.
If you want to cry,
Please cry.
And know that I will cry with you.
The tears you shed
Will heal us both.
Your tears are mine.
The earth I tread this morning
Transcends history.
Spring and Winter are both present in the moment.
The young leaf and the dead leaf are really one.
My feet touch deathlessness,
And my feet are yours. Walk with me now.
Let us enter the dimension of oneness
And see the cherry tree blossom in Winter.
Why should we talk about death
I don't need to die
To be back with you.
