The day we bid goodbye


Dear friends and family,
Today we gather here to say goodbye to my beloved mummy, Lucy, who has fought so bravely against cancer since Sept 2019. I stand here today with a heavy heart, but also with immense gratitude for the life she lived and the love she shared with us.
My mother was a woman of great strength, resilience, and courage. She faced many challenges in her life, but none more so than her battle with cancer.

She devoted her life to raising me single-handedly and worked tirelessly to provide me the best possible upbringing.. Her love, guidance, and support have been a constant presence in my life, and for that, I am grateful. Mummy taught me the importance of hard work, perseverance, honesty and selflessness, and these values have shaped me into the person I am today.

As we say goodbye to my mummy today, I am filled with sadness, but also with hope. I know that she is now at peace, free from pain, and in the kingdom of God. She has left a lasting legacy of love and kindness that will live on through all those whose lives she has touched.
I would like to thank my mummy for being the most loving and caring mother anyone could ask for. You were my rock, my inspiration, and my guiding light. I will miss you more than words can express, but I take comfort in knowing that you are now in a better place. May you rest in peace, mummy. I love you always.
