Edna Smart (nee McSorley) died 23rd. May 2001 age 76. She use to work in the factories as a weaver and Doffer. She lived in Ince all her life. She had nine siblings. 5 Brothers and 4 sisters. She died after an illness relating to her Gall Bladder. Although the time she died came as a shock she hadn't been well for a number of years.
Mum was the eldest of the girls in her family and as such became the carer of most of them as they grew up. Her father, my Granddad, was a soldier in the 1st World War and was decorated several times for his conduct and bravery. Receiving the DCM and MM,among others.
Her eldest brother Robert, was in the battle of WW2, where he too, was decorated.
Mum lived life to the full as much as was possible. She was an un-married mum of two, something almost unheard of in those days. But the fact that she kept us was also due to the support of her father and mother. She eventually met and married her beloved Bill on June 10th. 1972, sadly he died in August 1992, the day after his 80th. birthday. So mum carried on after until her passing on May 23rd. 2001. She is very much missed by her immediately family. Sadly since 1993 her brothers Robert and Leonard and her sisters Betty and Peggy have also passed. Her younger brother John passed away at about three months old in 1939 from what is now known as cot death.Mum has a son also John age 65 (23rd Feb 1944) her daughter Kathleen (me) will be 57 on July 4th. 2009.
Today is November 25th. 2008 and I would just like to say to everyone who is putting tributes and lighting candles for mum that they are very much appreciated. Just because I haven't lit anyone else's candles or put a tribute on doesn't mean I have forgotten, I haven't. It's just that at the moment I am not in a good place, I apologise to EVERYONE and things will get back to normal as soon as I can feel better about things. Love to you all.xxxxxxx Kathleen

I haven't been on here for a long time Mam, it's because, well, you know what's been happening. But today I have managed to get on by changing my password cause I forgot the old one. I miss you even more now mam, I feel so lonely. But I have been finding out things about the family including your Aunt Ella. It's been a long journey. But you already know what I now know cause you will have met up with her. Stay VERY close Mam. It's hard. I love and miss you xxxx
Today, is Mother's Day, but I think about you everyday. I miss you Mam. I hate this life but there's nothing I can do about it. I wish I could see and talk with you even if only for five minutes. Help me be strong Mam, I need to rebuild but can't seem to . They say there's a guardian angel for every one but I think mine has been made redundant. Like me. God bless Mam, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If Only....
...I could go back,
to the time when life was sweet.
There are so many questions I need to ask,
So many people I would have loved to meet.
Many things I would have loved to do,
Gone shopping on a Saturday, just me and you.
Be together as mother and daughter,
instead of feeling alone.
Be part of a family once again,
instead of being someone on their own.
You are the last piece of the jigsaw Mam,
to the family I thought was mine.
But recently, I've come to see,
that apart from one, I was blind.
Things are still not easy Mam and I miss you so much it hurts.
If Only......
