Doreen also known as dolly was my mum.
She was a wonderful women who died suddenly on 18th September 2007.
She was only 40 years old.
My mum didn't work she was about to start university studying childcare so she could help families with children who are disabled, mentally and physically. She lived in desborough with her husband Matthew, my stepdad.
Michael 17 and Ryan 13 are her two sons and i am her only daughter.
My mum had only one brother Cameron, who with wife Julie has two wonderful sons Staurt and Mark. Her parents are Anne and Bob Ferguson.

Mum died suddenly of an illness called hypertrophic cardiomiopathy, this affects the heart.

My mum was the most important person in my life, She was always so proud of me and pushed me to do my best. After leaving home we would meet up regularly and go for lunch together. We both went to tresham college in kettering and i saw her everyday without fail. i would always look forward to coming out of my lessons and there being a text from my mum asking if i wanted to do lunch. I did everything with my mum we would shop, do lunch, decorate even go to pay bills together.

My mum was one of the most amazing people who positively influenced everyones life, she was a wonderful mum to me and my brothers. She didn't have an easy task of bringing up three so hyper children one of whom suffers from aspergyes. We were always a handfull but she never complained and went out of her way to give us a great childhood.

Many children whose parents divorce don't have it easy, yet when ours did she and my dad remained the best of friends, even when she remarried.

My mum touched so many lives and was definately taken too soon.

i would just like to say a big thank-you to my mum for everything she did for me and how much i appriciate it. AS does everyone that was part of her life

Always finding myself talking to you when I don't know what to do, as well as chatting like a nutter to you all the time to myself! Kids use to it now and say "mum talking to Dolly again!" You always give me my answers, like you always have, just wish you were here to give me the slap required! Would love to have just one more laugh or hug, you alway make everything ok. I know you the proudest grandma and mum, and with every right, heard a song tonight that has made me realise you still always around us all, not that i doubted, but kicked me all the same, and I thank you, Hope your words of wisdom come out my mouth tommorow in that court room and give me the courage to shaft the blah blah blah! Love you as ever babe xxxx

Well I browsed on in here again, Its been nearly a year now since we lost Dolly, at the risk of sounding cliched or just plain stupid, It hasnt got any easier. Every day i realise that life for me has lost its point, an endless cycle of depression and being at a perpetual loose end. Its very difficult to describe in words what its like to no longer have the person and personality in your life who you had believed that would be there forever. Im sure people reading this think that all this has been covered, been said and there is no need to re-iterate it here now, but there is, the point is that Doreen, although in my thoughts and my heart is no longer pysically in our lives and that is a fact i personally have been totally unable to live with. I realise this page should be trbutes to Dolly, and that Im writing about how I feel, im sorry if this upsets anyone.
For some time I have been living almost reclusively and have been very ignorant of other people around who also have to bear this loss. To them i want to say sorry but i dont have at this moment any way of dealing with the continuation of life as we know it. This doesnt mean i dont care, because i do but things are confused.
It recently saw this quotation..................

"You know, the sad thing...

The sad thing isn't that love comes to an end. Or that people go out of your life, or die.

The really sad thing about the world is that you get over it.

-Taken from ANCIENT HISTORY by Ives"

I disagree with this so strongly, In some cases i really honestly think you do not get over it, and if your feelings are as strong as this why the hell should you get over it.

To Doreen, I love you always, It never changes.

Feel no guilt in laughter
they know how much you care,
feel no sorrow in a smile
that they're not here to share
but let the memories comforts you
a word someone may say
will suddenly recapture
a time, an hour, a day
that brings them as clearly
as though they were still here
and fills you with feelings
that they are always near
for if you keep those moments
you'll never be apart
and they will live forever
locked safe within your heart.

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend:
Someone who changes your life by being part of it;
Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;
Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in this world.
This is forever friendship, and if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete.
You have a forever friend, you have a friend forever. x x x

Always in my thoughts

Dolly was an amazing women, i remember the good old college days when we'd meet up in the canteen and have so many laughs. She was always thinking of others and was willing to help anyone with anything.
You were all blessed and her love will carry on for you all.
Stay strong, and keep her love for life flowing.
