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.
Secret Charm
An Angel's arms may hold you,
When you're all alone.
An Angel might have kissed you too,
And you haven't even known.
Angels have a secret charm,
And arms that open wide.
A gentle touch upon your arm,
Or just a cozy feeling inside.
Faith will tell you an Angel,
Just held you in their hands.
A touch so soft and gentle,
No one really understands.
God loves us so much,
He wanted us to feel.
The love in an Angel's touch,
To prove he loves us still.

~~Love Always Elaine~~
to a special mum and nana xxx
We feel so lost without you. The pain wont go away. If we could have one wish, you would be here with us today. Somewhere over the Rainbow, where the sky is forever blue, we know you are our special Angel, watching over all that we do. Each time we see your picture, you seem to smile and say 'don't cry I am only sleeping. We will be together again one day. xxx
Please Remember Me - Leanne Rimes
time, sometimes the time just slips away
And your left with yesterday
Left with the memories
I, i'll always think of you and smile
And be happy for the time
I had you with me
Though we go our seperate ways
I won't forget so don't forget
The memories we made
Please remember, please remember
I was there for you
And you were there for me
Please remember, our time together
The time was yours and mine
While we were wild and free
Please remember, please remember me
Goodbye, there's just no sadder word to say
And it's sad to walk away
With just the memories
Who's to know what might have been
We'll leave behind a life and time
We'll never know again
Please remember, please remember
I was there for you
And you were there for me
And remember, please remember me
Please remember, please remember
I was there for you
And you were there for me
Please remember, our time together
The time was yours and mine
While we were wild and free
Then remember, please remember me
And how we laugh and how we smile
And how this world was yours and mine
And how a dream was out of reach
I stood by you, you stood by me
We took each day and made it shine
We wrote our names across the sky
We ride so fast, we ride so free
I had you and you had me
Please remember, please remember
Death is Nothing
Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other
That we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes
We enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me,
Let my name be ever the household word that
It always was.
Let it be spoken without effort,
Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant
It is the same as it ever was
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am
Out of sight? I am but waiting for you
For an interval
Somewhere very near
Just around the corner .
All is well.
WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
When tomorrow starts without me, and i'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,
while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as i love you
and each time that you think of me i know you'll miss me too.
So when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
that an angel came, and called my name and took me by the hand,
He said my place was ready, in Heaven up above,
and that i'd have to leave behind, all those i dearly love.
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, because every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart x x x
Miss you
In my home there is a photo
Of a face more precious than gold,
And to those who love and lost you
your memory will never grow old.
Today I look at your photo
At your face so loving and true,
No wonder my heart is breaking
Losing someone as precious as you.
But each day you walk beside me
And when my life is through,
I pray that god will take my hand
And lead me straight to you..
Love and Miss you Always Mum x x x x x
CHRISTMAS WITHOUT YOU
Christmas without you is just not the same
The card on the mantlepiece, is bereft of your name
Your presents are missing, from under the tree
And there is one less place at the table for tea
But although I cannot see you, you're quite out of sight
You're there in the tree, in each twinkling light
Although I cannot hear you calling my name
Your voice can be heard in the bells sweet refrain
I know I cannot hug you, or touch you at all
But you'll send me a kiss in each snowflake to fall
So even though I can't see you, in my heart you're still there
Not just at Christmas, but all through the year
Anita Calder 1994
Miss You Mum
When we think about the old days, We want them back again,
Your house was always happy and full of laughter then.
We'd all be there together, Content in every way,
Then the mainstay of the family simply slipped away.
We all of us, do the best we can, But it will never be the same
We can't tell you how often, we all still speak your name.
All we wish is that just once more, Before we turn off the light,
We could kiss you gently on the cheek, and say WE LOVE YOU MUM ~ GOODNIGHT.
You were the best Mum ever and we all love and miss you so much x x x x x
I LOVE YOU MUM
I love you Mum
So Don't look Glum
You've got 6 kids
But you've not got quids
You don't like kippers
But we love your slippers!
Remember this Mum? I wrote it for you when I was about 6 and even framed it for you!
I wish you were here with us Mum, I miss you so much every day, I just wish I could talk to you once more. Willy Bobs is a real character now and would have you in stitches. He knows all about Nana Jean and we will make sure he never forgets you. Daniel and Jonathan are growing into a handsome young men & Jonathan is settling down.
