June Atkinson

I created a memorial page to my brother John who died early December and I thought this would be a nice way to remember our mum who died in 1988.
Our mum was called June, she was all I could ever want as a mum. I could tell her anything. She had a wicked sense of humour and I loved her very much. She never judged me, not that I did anything wicked when I was younger but, she always said she would love me no matter what I did. I have two beautiful twin girls and I tell them everyday that I love them and will love them always, just like mum told me. Thanks mum. xxx Of course mum never got to see my girls because they will only be 4 next week but I know if she had been here she would have adored them. When I was expecting the girls I sang the song she sang to me..I love you, Yes I do, I love you. Its a sin to tell a lie, etc And a poem she used to recite. I missed not having my mum around to ask about the girls when they were babies, not being able to ask her for advice.
Mum died from bowel cancer, even when she was diagnosed her wicked sense of humour shone through. When the doctor told her she said "How long have I got, Because Iv got money to spend. Typical Mum. I was told by my cousin after my brothers funeral that I have the same sense of humour as mum. Well if I have I am happy, and if I can be only half a good a mum to my girls as my mum was to me then my girls will be happy. I love you so much Mam. God Bless, and I know you will be looking after our John. What a family shindig will be going on up there. Love you all, always and forever. Julie XXX
