♥♥ SHEILA PICTURED WITH HER GREAT NIECE AMY-LOUISE ♥♥
Sheila Phillipson was born 26th January 1948 in Watford. She has an elder sister Joyce and had a
brother Norman who died in his 20s and also had a sister Dorothy (Deceased).Sheila never married or
had children but she was very close to Joyces daughter Brenda( my cousin) and sheila was delighted
when Brenda had a lovely daughter Amy -Louise.
Sheilas family moved from Watford to Newcastle in the 1950s and lived opposite my Mam Isobels
family.
Sheilas Mam died when she was 11 and her Dad moved back to Watford taking Sheila with him. Sheila
missed her sister Joyce and so decided to hitch hike from Watford to Newcastle to her sister Joyces
where she stayed. (Sheila showed a feisty streak even at age 11 !)
Sheila became part of our family when her sister Joyce married my Mams brother Ken. Her brother
Norman became engaged to my Mams sister Linda but sadly he died in his 20s.
Sheila was a nurse and a nun in her younger days and was a bubbly and feisty person. She was a
deeply religious person and loved visiting cathedrals and churches.She loved socialising and dancing
and sadly she lost both legs 10 years ago due to diabetes and circulation problems. Sheila spent the
last 10 years in a wheelchair and lived in a specially adapted bungalow.She was very houseproud and
her place was immaculate. She did all her own housework, she was fiercely independant and declined
any help from carers or home helps. Sheila was an inspiration to all disabled people.
Sheila had a great love for animals especially dogs,she would take in dogs who had been ill-treated
and lavish them with love and kindness.
She leaves behind her beloved dog Lucy who is being cared for by her sister Joyce.
Sheila did not have good health in her lifetime and suffered from diabetes and circulatory problems,
she had a major operation on her aorta and almost died. Sheila was admitted to hospital just before
Christmas with numerous health problems and sadly died on Sunday 6th January 2008, aged 59. Sheila
would have been 60 on 26th January.
Her sister Joyce and niece Brenda have been left devastated.
Dearest sheila you are free from pain now, may you rest in peace love from your loving family.

We've known lots of pleasure,
At times endured pain,,
We've lived in the sunshine,
And walked in the rain. ,
But now we're seperated ,
And for a time apart,,
But I am not alone- ,
You're forever in my heart.,
Death always seems so sudden, ,
And it is always sure,,
But what is oft' forgotten-,
It is not without a cure.,
There may be times you miss me, ,
I sort of hope you do,,
But smile when you think of me,,
For I'll be waiting for ,
you.

I've listened to the footprints poem
a million times or more
of how when only one set shows
upon the sandy shore
it's the lord carrying us
and taking on our load
and his are the only set
of footprints that showed
But what if when we look
there are no footprints to be found?
all we see is plain and simple
sand upon the ground
no imprints showing that our lord
is carrying us through life
helping us when we feel
we can not handle all this strife
Where is my lord now that i've fallen
and can't seem to get back up?
so tired and lonely
trying to deal with what seems
an overflowing cup
where are those footprints
in the sand
to tell me he's right there?
helping me with problems
and showing that he really does care
Does he have favourites, OH NO
please tell me that's not so
but why does life seem easier
for some people that I know?
and sometimes I just scream out loud
although it seems in vain
but often gets harder each day
to deal with all this pain
And then it dawned on me
as I realize how simple could it be
I wonder why I was so blind
that I truly did not see
it must have been a lightening bolt
that one day gave me light
because out of the clear blue sky
I finally regained my sight
I saw a fluffy white cloud
shaped like an angel dear
that helped me to understand
and see things oh so clear
that's when I saw no footprints
and so often wondered why
my lord carried me on angel wings
when he decided to fly.

ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR...♥ღ♥
The day you left broke our hearts
and the tears fell like rain,
but knowing that you now have wings
helps to ease the pain.
♥ღ♥
We know now when the snow falls
it is Angel dust from you
and when we see a shooting star
our Angel just passed through.
♥ღ♥
The rain drops do not make us sad
for they are not tears,
but sprinkles of love falling down,
our Angel again is near.
♥ღ♥
The winter cold has even changed,
Jack Frost no longer exists,
it's now a visit from our Angel
and he's left a special gift.
♥ღ♥
You also visit in the night,
your wings flutter with grace,
we know now when we awaken
that an Angel has kissed our face.
♥ღ♥
When the days are warm and bright
and the sun shines from above,
we feel the warmth wrap around us,
you've given an Angel hug.
♥ღ♥
You are with us at all times,
every day and night,
you try to end the pain we have
and the tears that we still cry.
♥ღ♥
Though Heaven is your home now
and Angel wings you wear,
you stay close to those you love,
until they join you there.
♥ღ♥

Brenda & Kevin's Engagement.
Hi Sheila, we all went to Brenda & Kevin's engagement party last night and it was also Mam's 70th Birthday so we had a lovely family party.Your sister Joyce was very merry indeed and felt rough this morning!You were in our thoughts,hope you were looking down on us.Miss you always xxxx
Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart
I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night
I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you
And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever in my heart
Love always your very special angel xxxx
Please help the pain stop,,,,,
Pain stuffed inside of me,Can't let anyone near me,Can't let anyone see the real me,Can't let anyone even hug me,All this pain that's held in me,Why can't anyone see the real me,Why can't anyone help me,Why can't someone just hold me,All this pain that's eating me,Can't let go of the pain in me,Can't get this pain from me,Can't get this pain out of me
When will the pain stop hurting me,Why can't I just feel me,Why can't I just be me
Why can't someone take this pain from me

Hugs from Heaven....
Hugs From Heaven
by Charlotte Anselmo
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.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Monday Gift From Me To You
XxXxX
I send to you this Eve a gift of words, like a cloud delivering rain.
May they fall upon you ever so gently and wash away your pain.
For you and all your loved ones, I bow my head and pray.
May these prayers somehow guide you and help you find your way.
My thoughts and prayers are also with you, as you begin your day.
Only You and I, and God, know what these words attempt to say.
Never look into the past – move forward and straight ahead.
Do as your heart tells you, your soul will be fed.
Always remember how very special you are.
Your friendship to me is a beautiful, bright shining star.
For this friendship that we share, I send this small token,
May it somehow help you repair all that is broken.
There is a power on this earth greater than You and I,
He is the one who stirs your emotions and allows you to cry.
MEMORIES OF YOU
Memories of you...
Will stay in my heart forever,
Memories of you...
I will always treasure.
Memories of you...
make me feel warm inside,
Memories of you...
are the love I cannot hide.
Memories of you...
help me through the day,
Memories of you...
will never fade away.
Memories of you...
are beautiful and dear,
They seem to grow still brighter
with every passing year.

A GUARDIAN ANGEL
Flew down from above,
To teach me a lesson
About the powers of love.
She whispers to me,
Take a hold of my hand,
There are so many things
I wish you to understand.
About the powers of love,
And all it can do,
To someone who needs
To share it with you.
A pat on the back,
A kind smile on your face,
Can make someone's life,
A much brighter place.
It doesn't take much,
To show someone you care,
To give them the love,
God gave you to share.
So please keep in mind,
All the powers you possess,
To grace someone's life,
When they're in distress.
You've been put on this earth
To bestow the powers of love,
And with those final words,
She disappeared up above.
Love Always Elaine xxxxx
