Here is my tribute to my wonderful mother, who died in hospital in her sleep on Wednesday 20 February after taking pneumonia.
I love you my darling and you are the reason I exist, having given me 50 % of the genes I carry.
Yes, we had disagreements and when they happened they were usually on a grand scale, but they were present on a framework of pure love.
I love you mum and your memory is in my heart forever.
