Son in Law ~ Robert. Daughter in Law~ Louise.
Loving Partner~ George
~ She was ill for a while but her death was sudden and completely unexpected, she was at home with Me, Ashleigh and George at the time ~
My mum stayed in Ferguslie all her life. She was the youngest child of Elizabeth Leonard Watt and Alexander Watt. When most of her brothers and sisters moved to Canada mum chose to stay here. She lived close to her mum and dad all her life, her number one priority was always family. After granda died mum and gran looked after each other. Mum soon had me and Martin to bring up on her own, gran stepped in straight away, to help raise us. She looked after us every day from half six in the morning till mum came home from work at half eight! My mum worked her bum off every day to make ends meet and keep up with the neighbours (me & marty might not have been the most fashionable kids in fegie! but we had steak every sunday wahaa)
In 1975 mum re-met George who she hadn't seen from primary school. No need to say gran didn't think he was good enough for her daughter. So she thought nothing more of sending the priest round to tell her that she was living in sin, and to leave him. She stood by George, along with me, my gran and my brother he was one more person who made her happy. My gran soon got used to George and realised he wasn't so bad for my mum! and ended up being a great part of her life. In the end up my gran got ill and we pulled together and got my mum through the hard times helping her care for my gran. Sadly she died in 1983.
31 years down the line my mum and George were still together. Through the ups, the downs and both with their share of health problems over the years they pulled together and stayed strong until mum passed away, devistating the whole family. Y'know family and friends called them George & Mildred, not in a bad way, just because one always tryed to get one over on the other one!But were never apart. George misses her terribly and takes each day as it comes.
Jean knew everybody in Paisley, she was up the town every day, no matter what the weather was like! When we were in town with her, every second person we passed she would be saying " hello " and half an hour later I would still be standing saying "mum, come on hurry up". As most of her friends would agree she could talk for Britain!!! haha. Mum was full of life and energy, this went down well with the grandchildren! (especially at their school fun day last year) she was the one playing all the games and running around mad! glad we caught that one on camera haha! She was always their for my kids, and played an irreplaceable part in their lives! The memories and photos will stay with us forever! Christenings, First days at school, Birthday parties, Every Christmas and New Years Days! Just some of the happy times she shared with my family, including my husband who she loved and always had a laugh with.
Mum had a hard time of it in the early years, but we all know that she got on with it and done her best! She was always good at a story..(adding wee bits on! haha)..... e.g she worked in the printers but told all my brothers pals that she was a freelance photographer. Which Martin wasn't chuffed with at the time but now it's a standard joke in the family, and still with friends!
She had a heart of gold and for the last two months of her life we now know she fought hard to stay here, her body had got weak and tired and had fought enough. I know she is up ther with her dearest and looking over all of us down here, taking care of us who she loves.
My brother Martin got married on the January 27th this year, to his long time partner Louise, who she also cared for and got to know over the years. I know mum was there in spirit, she wouldn't have missed that for the world. She's always been so proud of her boy. And I know she'll still be bragging to everyone who'll listen at how well her Martins doing for himself.
All My Love Rosalind xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Wonderful Legacy
There Is A Wonderful Legacy
Of Which I Wish To Tell
About A Wonderful Lady
That We Loved So Well
Her Strength Lives Within Us
And Grows Stronger Each Day
Her Honor Still Lingers
Though Her Life Has Slipped Away
I Miss The Sound Of Her Laughter
And Her Stern Lectures Too!
I Miss Hearing Her Say, “I Love You”
She Fought A Good Battle
Then Gave Up The Fight
To Rest In The Arms Of Jesus
What A Beautiful Sight
In Our Hearts Her Memory
Will Always Stay
Nothing Could Ever Take
Her Remembrance Away
Teresa Shelton Bright
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free
Miss me a little - but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me - but let me go
For this is a journey that we must all take
And each must go alone
It's all a part of the Master's plan
A step on the road to home
When you are lonely, and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me - but let me go

They say...
They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something,
So there won’t be any doubt,
You’re so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.
We cannot bring back the old days,
When we were all together,
The family chain is broken now,
But memories will live forever.
My Wee Gran :)
well... two years ago,, this was your last night with us, i can't believe its been 2 full years already. To think it's been that long since i last seen you and spoke to you properly is madness, it still feels like it all just happened this morning!, but it also feels like iv not seen you in sooo long. People say it gets better... i'm looking forward to that starting cause just now it's getting harder every day, I can't even describe how much i miss you. Give my love to everyone and i hope i'll see you soon, Love you Ashleigh xXx
In Our Hearts
We thought of you today.
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.
