My mam Irene was brought up in the "Old Queens Rd" area of Jarrow, she was one of six children, born to the late George and Annie Strand nee Glendining.
Mam went on to marry Theodore Lawrance Storey (Tommy) and they went on to have nine children, Lawrance, Janet, David, Nancy, Ronnie, Jimmy, Yvonne, Colin and Christine. Mam and dad settled in Jarrow to bring up their family. Times were hard for them and us too, but we always stuck together and helped each other, the older children often helping to care for the younger ones.
Mam loved all her children and even though there was so many of us she never had a favourite,we were all "ONE". Mam had two sons "Ronnie" and "Jimmy" who both suffered with their nerves and went to special schools for children needing extra care. Both lads lived with mam and always played their part in helping to look after her. Over the years mam suffered alot of illnesses and all the family would muck in and help out. I would often sit by her bed side,watching her in so much pain and there was nothing i could do to help her,which makes you feel helpless.
Mam and dad divorced after a long marraige but still managed to stay the best of friends,often popping in on each other,making sure the other was alright.
Dad died suddenly in august of last year,mam took this news badly but still managed to pull through for the family,especially her "lads" Ronnie and Jimmy. Then in mid August of this year mam took to her bed after a fall. After numerous tests and scans the family were told that mam had cancer and it was too advanced to treat.The hole family was devastated by the news and all rallied around to make sure the last days of her life were the most comfortable as possible. On October the 27th 2009 mam passed away leaving a big void in the family.
Even though it is early days since mam died,the lads seem to be coping well and other members of the family are helping them to come to terms with there loss. REST IN PEACE MAM WITH LOVE FROM ALL YOUR LOVING FAMILY,GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT GRANDCHILDREN AND YOUR NEW GREAT GRANDCHILD "BEN " WHO WAS BORN TWO DAYS AFTER YOUR FUNERAL.YOU WOULD OF TRULY LOVED HIM AS YOU LOVED US ALL.GOD BLESS.
MERRY CHRISTMAS MAM X

Don't worry for me loved one, i am safe up here
I have no pain no more, but you have it is clear
