Betty was my mother in law, she was a loving wife to Jock, and wonderful mum, mother in law, granny and great granny.
Betty was taken into Stirling Royal Infirmary on the 18th October 2008. After being kept in for a few days, she took a turn for the worse when it was discovered that she had suffered a massive stroke.
Her last few days with us were very strange, we played her favourite music at her bedside, we had hilarity and remeniscing about days gone by. Stories being told, some old and some new, even though she couldn't verbally tell us, physically we knew what what she was saying.
We were with her until her last minute, then she slipped away peacefully. It broke our hearts to pieces when she went to find the big house, with the large garden and beautiful flowers.
But we know that she's with her mum and dad and all those gone before her.
We are privilidged to have been able to share in her lastfew moments and to have have her pass with dignity. So many do not get that chance in life.
Remembered with a smile!
