Mum
Jean Carr (Mum)
Was born in Rockley Street, Whit Lane, Pendleton on 19/03/1937 - a twin sister to Brenda - a
daughter to Bill and Liz Redford.
At the age of 12 the family moved to Canute Road, Gorse Hill
Leaving Lostock School at the age of 15 she joined her sisters Maureen and Brenda as a machinist at
Dressiwear in Old Trafford.
That same year 1952, she first met her husband to be Peter whilst watching water polo at Trafford
Park baths.
Despite the disparity in ages - he was exactly 4 years 4 months and 23 days older, the relationship
prospered.
They became engaged whilst Dad was doing his National Service as an E R A in the Royal Navy.
Mum recalled that when they returned to his parents to show off the ring £25 from Henry Woolfes his
Mum declared £25 and you have got a hole in your shoes! - and he had!
At that time Mum converted to the Catholic faith under the guidance of Father Greenwood at St
Antony's in Trafford Park.
They married in January 1956 and they lived with his parents in Tenth Street, Trafford Park.
Stephen was born that year and the following year 1957 the new Carr family moved into Bradwell Ave.
Over the years the family grew Myself Sue, then Linda, Hilary and finally after 17 years of marriage
the twins Sarah and Joanne. During this last pregnancy Mum was in danger of losing her babies and a
good 50% of the time was spent in Park Hospital whilst the other children were looked after by
various willing relatives. Her family complete, Mums life revolved around us and we all agree that
we enjoyed our somewhat crowded childhood.
Then the next generation began to arrive, over the years from Vicki in 1979 to William in 2004, 15
Grandchildren made there entry into the world. She loved them all unreservedly and endured the
trauma of divorces and the joys of marriages with equal ease. On occasion Mum was heard to declare
we've had 6 children, 15 grandchildren, 8 marriages 4 (now 5) divorces and 2 still unmarried!!!
Tragedy touched Mum over the years, with the death of her elder sister Maureen in 1992, a sister she
describes as a best friend.
When in January 2001, her eldest Grandson, my son Chris died unexpectedly, she was distraught. It is
a terrible co-incidence that Mum collapsed on the 6th anniversary of that tragic event.
This was a Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Sister and Auntie for whom the family was paramount.
'SHE DEDICATED HER LIFE TO US AND WE ARE HER LEGACY'
God rest her soul.

✿..LET US REMEMBER THEM...✿
✿ 'Please wear a poppy', the lady said
and held one forth, but I shook my head.
Then I stopped and watched as she offered them there,
And her face was old, and lined with care;
But beneath the scars the years had made
There remained a smile that refused to fade.✿
✿ A boy came wistling down the street,
Bouncing along, on care free feet
His smile was full of joy and fun,
'Lady', said he, 'May I have one?'
When she pinned it on, he turned to say,
'Why do we wear a poppy today?'✿
✿ The lady smiled in her wistful way,
and answered, 'This is Rememberance Day,
And the poppy there is the symbol for,
the gallant men who died in war,
and because they died you and I are free--
Thats why we wear a poppy, you see'.✿
✿ 'I had a boy about your size,
with golden hair and big blue eyes.
He loved to play and jump and shout,
free as a bird he would race about.
As the years went by, he learned and grew
and became a man--as you will, too.' ✿
✿ 'He was fine and strong, with a boyish smile,
but he'd seemed with us such a little while
When war broke out and he went away,
I still remember his face that day.
When he smiled at me and said'Good-bye,
I'll soon be back, mom, so please don't cry'.✿
✿ 'But the war went on and he had to stay,
and all I could do was wait and pray.
His letters told of the awful fight,
(I can see it in my dreams at night),
with the tanks and guns and cruel Barbed wire,
and the mines and bullets, the bombs and fire.'✿
✿'Till at last the war was won-
and thats why we wear a poppy son'.
The small boy turned as if to go,
Then said 'Thanks lady, I'm glad to know.
That sure did sound like an awful fight,
But your Son-- did he come back alright?'✿
✿ A tear rolled down each faded cheek;
she shook her head, but didn't speak.
I slunk away in a sort of shame,
and if you were me you'd have done the same;
For our thanks, in giving, is oft delayed,
though our freedome was bought-and thousands paid.✿
✿ And so when we see a poppy worn, let us reflect on the burden borne
By those who gave their very all
and asked to answer their country's call
That we at home in peace might live.
Then wear a poppy. Remember-- and give!✿
✿ Lest we forget......✿

"Give Me Peace" By Lea Dyer Snow
Lord, in this hour I need you, more than words could ever tell.
I feel as if I'm stranded on shores between heaven and hell...
I know you haven't left me, yet my heart feels void of hope.
I feel as if I'm hanging on an old and thread worn rope...
I feel as if my hearts been torn from the breast from which it came.
And sunshine will no longer fill my life, only clouds of darkness and rain...
I know this will pass,
and you will be there to give me comfort and strength and hope.
But until then I can't help the feeling that I'm down to that last thread of rope...
If it breaks, you'll be there to catch me, and raise me back to my feet...
But for now my world is in turmoil, and the essence of life is not sweet...
Give me power to overcome my oppression, and let sunshine back on my face.
Let your spirit overwhelm my cold dark heart,
and let me bask in your warmth giving grace...
Give rest to my tempest of yearning, and faith to my sore lacking soul.
Let me again laugh with my family. Rescue me from this pit in Sheol.
With praise I do worship your blessings, with humility, I ask my release.
From this den of despair I ask mercy...show favour on me...give me peace.
LOVE JUDE. X
Dear All,
As this is going to be a difficult week for our family I am lighting the candles & tribute for this week today.
I want to make sure all your angels don’t miss out on the candles and tributes I hope you all understand
I will be back on Sunday with Monday’s candle
It would have been Christopher’s Birthday on Wednesday, he was on his way home from having a drink to celebrate his 27th Birthday when the accident happened and sadly he died 2 days later.
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
In our hearts your memory lingers
Sweetly tender, fond and true,
There is not a day, dear angel
That we do not think of you.
For Mon
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
We know that you're beside us,
In everything we do,
But life's just not the same
Now that we've lost you
For Tues
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
Things I feel most deeply
Are the hardest things to say
My dearest one, I love you
In a very special way
For Wed
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
Your life was a blessing
Your memory a treasure
You are loved beyond words
And missed beyond measure
For Thur
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
Tribute For The Weekend
I'm sending a dove to heaven
With a parcel on its wings.
Be careful how you open it
It’s full of beautiful things
Inside are a million kisses
Wrapped up in a million hugs
To say how much you mean to us
And send you all our love
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
Babies are angels
That fly to earth
Their wings disappear
At the time of there birth
One look in their eye
And we're never the same
They're part of us now
And that part has a name
That part is your heart
And a bond that won’t sever
Our babies are angels
And we love them forever
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
It happens without warning
Time and time again
I go along and join the flow
But still remember when
You were there to share it all
That made it all worth while
The memories keep flooding back
And once again I smile
Then reality returns to me
And once again your gone
If only this little dream I have
Could simply just go on
I try and hide the heartache
But I feel it none the less
These are my words I send to you
I MISS YOU……..
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
Just the average family
We didn't ask for more.
Then life was changed completely
With that knock upon our door.
This awful thing had happened
And none of us knew why.
You were never coming back again
And we didn't say goodbye.
Our world just fell to pieces
We cried with disbelief.
We had to stick together
To overcome our grief.
We'll never understand it
It all seems so unfair.
We wish we'd hear that knock again
And see you standing there.
♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥•:*:•♥ •:*:•♥
Thoughts Today Memories Forever
Angela Christopher’s Very Proud Mum
Sent with love ♥
Why is our heart breaking.
When we think of you,
Why is our body aching
With our memories so true,
⋱♥â‹°
Why did you have to go,
We need you now today,
Its because we love you so,
In each and every way,
⋱♥â‹°
We will try and keep on going,
We will try to keep so strong,
But you should be here beside us.
In our home where you belong.
