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.

A Mother's Love
There is no love, like a mother's love,
no stronger bond on earth...
like the precious bond that comes from God,
to a mother, when she gives birth.
A mother's love is forever strong,
never changing for all time...
and when her children need her most,
a mother's love will shine.
God bless these special mothers,
God bless them every one...
for all the tears and heartache,
and for the special work they've done.
When her days on earth are over,
a mother's love lives on...
through many generations,
with God's blessings on each one.
Be thankful for our mothers,
for they love with a higher love...
from the power God has given,
and the strength from up above.
Can you see my castle
Up here in the sky
Its got big gold gates
That sparkle in my eyes
Can you see my garden
Its full of red flowers
And they smell beautiful
They hold magic powers
I have many new friends
That are all like me
They too are an angel
Flying high and free
They watch over families
That like me left behind
And send them angel kisses
They are friends hard to find
I’m glad I am in heaven
And that I am at peace today
Yes I miss my family dear
But I had to go away
God picked me from many
And said that I am one of the best
And I had completed my life’s journey
And that I had past all the test
So I deserve this castle
That god gave to me
And one day if your lucky
This castle you will see.
♥ღ♥ My eyes have seen the yellow sand,
my ears have heard their cries.
And I have watched a million hands
reach out to wave good-bye.
I've said good-bye so many times.
I've walked the earth alone,
and I have lived a million lives
just searching for my home.
I'll climb the highest mountain peaks,
I'll ford the deepest streams.
I'll touch you with my memories
and hold you with my dreams.
For love's the greatest miracle
our eyes will ever see.
I'm still alive! I will survive ♥ღ♥ xxx
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.
If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.
If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

They say there are no tears in Heaven,
But that must be wrong today.
Because you took part of my broken heart,
When you went away.
I know my tears must have followed you,
How else can it be?
My Spirit feels so broken,
Beause you’re no longer here with me.
They say someday I will accept your passing,
But, right now that can’t be true,
Because part of me is in Heaven,
My tears..... followed you....
.♥.•�. �•.♥.•�.�•.♥
FORGET ME NOT
Forget me not, for I am there
In the beat of your heart,
On the wing of your prayer.
Forgive me my parting and leaving you thus,
A joyous reunion is waiting for us!
Continue to strive toward your goal and be brave.
Know that my love did not stop at the grave.
My spirit is with you through good times and bad.
I share all the joys and the sorrows you have had.
Feel my presence within your next breath
And realize there is no distance in death.
Ask for my help and I will answer your call.
Reach for my hand when you stumble and fall.
Run the last mile with a smile on your face.
My arms will be waiting when you finish the race.
Always remember, my love is right th
In the beat of your heart,
On the wing of your prayer.
