I met Jan and Chris 9 years ago when i started dating their son Steve. Chris had already been suffering with the horrible illness Multiple Schlerosis for about 15 years and Jan was carer. Over the years Chris gradually got worse and relied more on Jan for day to day care. She always provided his care without complaint. About 2 years into my relationship with steve Jan found out she had breast cancer, she had a mastectomy that christmas and had a course of treatment. 5 Years later she was given the all clear. But devastatingly only a few months later she went to the doctors with an irritating persisstent cough, she was referred to the hospital for tests where they discovered she had terminal lung cancer as a result of the breast cancer she'd had 5 years earlier. She was given 2-3 years at best. She had a spell of time shortly after when she was ill but recovered well and for quite a while she did great. After about a year of continuing to care for Chris she began to get ill. It was decided that Chris should go into a care home for a short while to allow Jan to focus on getting better and knowing that she would be weak due to the chemo. Jan Started her chemo and we had a nice christmas and new year as she recovered. Chris stayed in the home as Jan even though felt better over time, was still not well enough to care for him. Everything was going well for a time, her hair grew back and her energy returned a lot although she would tire easy if she over did things. Chris however started to deteriorate with infection after infection and even though he always pulled through he was left weaker and more vulnerable after each problem. Jan eventually started to become poorly again around July this year and became very weak very quickly. Then in August we were dealt the first blow when chris developed pnemonia, he fought it for a few days but eventually passed away on 20th August. Jan was strong and got through the funeral despite being extremely poorly herself. We often wonder if she gave up at that point when she knew her husband was at peace because after chris died her own health got gradually worse. About 3 weeks ago she was admited to prospect house to have some respite care and we were fully expecting her to come out after a week or so fully refreshed and ready for another course of chemo but sadly it wasn't to be and she died on the evening of 13th November peacefully in her sleep. They both leave behind a Daughter Julie and Son Stephen and a Grandson Joshua who was born to me and Steve 3 years ago. We are also expecting their second granchild who is to be a girl next April.
Rest in Peace both of you. We love you very much and miss your strength and courage but most of all just simply your presence and smile.
All our love Steve, Claire, Joshua & Julie
'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God has laid you see.
I took his hand when I heard His call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
O yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
A THOUSAND TIMES WE'VE NEEDED YOU
A THOUSAND TIMES WE'VE CRIED
IF LOVE ALONE COULD HAVE SAVED YOU
YOU WOULD NEVER OF DIED
A HEART OF GOLD STOPPED BEATING
TWO TWINKLING EYES CLOSED TO REST
GOD BROKE OUR HEARTS TO PROVE HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST
NEVER A DAY GOES BY THAT YOUR NOT IN MY HEART AND SOUL.

I miss you more than anything
Every second of every day,
My heart completely shattered
The day you went away.
I wish that you'd tell me that you're O.K
Thats all I want to hear,
I want to have you near me
I want to feel you near.
I just want to know that you're happy
And that life it does go on,
I'll never stop worrying about you
'cos thats our job as your family.
If you can find a way to tell me
Thats all you have to do,
Then I could cope a little easier
Instead of always wondering about you.
Just a few little signs
Thats all I need to see,
Things that only we'd know
It would mean so much to me.
I'll leave you now to think it over
And then hopefully one day,
You'll send me all those little signs
And then i'll know that your ok.
God bless you Janet & Christopher xx
When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low,
When there is no one to talk to
And nowhere I want to go,
I search deep within myself
It is the love inside my heart
That lets me know my Angels are there
Even though we are miles apart
