Our Lovely Auntie Jill Our first meeting as little girls  on our first visit from SA, We adored you from the very start for your extra special way. You had a way of making us all feel special Always loving to hear our views, Always finding little things we’d enjoy and eager to hear our news. How we loved to sit with you as we all got made up and ready, Sitting together at your dressing table With hairbrushes and makeup at the ready The little things, no time to much You cherished us your little nieces, You showed us what real family means  and loved us both to pieces. Family always at your heart Ties that bind, so strong, so true. Memories and values all combined Family traditions made along with you. How you loved to party and always so beautifully turned out, and how we loved to be with you To laugh and “Twist and Shout”.   A special caring way with Children Drawn to you like bees, Auntie Jill's was a special place A place we couldn't wait to be You did so many things for us your heart so kind so true, and when we needed someone we could always count on you. School holidays we loved Summer holidays spent with you, Wonderful tasty dinners and stylish new haircuts too. We could never keep up with your pace You taught us how to really shop, Finding the latest fashions Until we were fit to drop. So stylish, so glam, so fun,  All our friends they loved you too, Wow your so lucky you girls Your Auntie Jill's so cool!. As we grew up and made our way in life You were always there, Listening to our many tales  That with you, we loved to share The most wonderful of cooks The many meals we shared with you, Cooked and served with loving care As Jill, Only you could do. And when our chosen young men came along  You welcomed them with open arms, Seeing what we loved in them  and recognising their great charms.  You made them feel so special They way you always did with us, You fed them up on tasty family dishes  And made a special fuss. Have another spoon you'd say Go on "just a little one"  How could we say no thanks Auntie Jill With food just so wonderful!. Good times, Good food, Good music Family dinners, always the perfect host, Being together as a family What you and we loved most. Sitting in your beautiful home Listening to the uncles sing the ole London songs Part of our treasured family tradition We will forever be the London girls! A smile and laugh that lit the room Singing night and day, as only you could do, How we all loved to sing and dance the many nights away. Big brown eyes that looked on us with love So vibrant and so alive, And always smelling so beautiful In sweet scents of Chanel No. 5. Memorable days spent in the garden Surrounded by beautiful flowers blowing in the breeze, how we loved to pop in to visit you For Bacon buttes and Gin and T’s. Always there for us,  In good times and in bad  Supportive and caring A tender heart,So Compassionate and Kind. As new additions joined our family  you sat our little ones on your knee, how they loved their Great Aunt Jill As you cuddled them tenderly. What joy we felt at the love We saw in them and you, Rejoicing in their every being The love you felt shone through. How blessed we felt  To see our Auntie Jill so dear, Now take great nieces and nephews  under her loving wing.  The circle of Life my, was an extra precious thing.  Such delight listening to you talk about them all with such love and care and pride, and lovingly hanging all their pictures  Above the fireside.  A lifetime of Love you given us Auntie Jill Which we now hope, we can in turn pass on Now Aunties ourselves We promise your Love will forever carry on. We will teach them of Love and Family and the memories and traditions laid Of which you were so apart of That together we have made. We will tell them about the good times and the ways you showed you cared, The times we spent with you and all the happiness we shared. We will forever hold you close within our hearts, And there you will always remain, To walk with us throughout our lives Until we meet again. From Paula and Trace

Twinkle Toes in Soft Pink Bows    (In memory of a wonderful sister)   Oh twinkle toes in soft pink bows   Fair-haired beauty of slender pose Sweet city flower to Country Rose   Prettier in tone than any wistful prose Oh shining star our guiding light   So unreserved and without spite Still wild, free, calm raging sea   Bristling honour forth and liberty   Morning sunshine, summer rain   London angel, quaint country lane Inspired creation, bright ideas   Tall and proud, yet never vain Taught us how to laugh and play   Be party people, live life today Believe in love, and in ourselves   Little brother, you would say   C&A, Woolworth, BHS,   Dorothy Perkins, M&S Nip into Kay’s… then into Next,   On ‘special’ at Tesco’s? Well I’ll be blessed! Second-hand alley and bargains galore   What a snip - lets find some more! Oh blimey, how our feet would ache   Perhaps some coffee… and bit of cake?   My Gin and tonic, supersonic   Ever-giving, must crack on What’d y’ fancy, prefer-organic,   Kitchen-loving, Gastronom Catered for all, cooked for one  In the oven – soon be done Chicken korma, Rogan Josh   “Now there plenty more…” oh golly gosh!   Mobile stylist, scissor-hands   A quick trim… just clip the ends? Layer, feather, take-off a tinge   A College-boy, but leave the fringe Highlights, lowlights, or French crew cut   Short at the sides, long at the back Oh my goodness you’re going thin…   Try some Pantene – just rub it in!   Campions champion, or cross-country cheat?   Stop-off for coffee and bite to eat Tag-on behind tired laggards feet   Past our house in the final heat Full of beans, larking, full of fun   We’d laugh and joke, and enjoy the sun The homework you done was never late   No, never one to procrastinate   Busy bee, Dancing Queen   Hit the road, bright lights, dig the scene I close my eyes and hear your voice   Sing Picture book my favorite choice You lived your magic carpet ride   And played the game of life to win If growing older was a sin   Oh what trouble we’d all be in   Islington Angel, Borehamwood gal   Built us up, kept us well Took us in, waifs and strays   Friend-savior-sister, Bedfordshire Belle Whatever, whenever, no ifs-nor-buts   Its decided now, no tiny tuts Needle and cotton, elastic rubber-band,   Always there – with an outstretched hand   Pure of mind and sound in soul  Such passion, presence, go for goal Day turns to night, time takes its toll   But girl, you gave it rock n´roll So through the tears, I can’t be sad   As I remember all those laughs we had Sing again in heaven with Mum and Dad   Good bless, sweet dreams, sleep tight.
