Marilyn Strike died at her home in Whithorn, Dumfries and Galloway with all her family around her and her little grandson who she has been waiting to meet on Sunday, 23rd September 2007. She died of cancer after being diagnosed in the summer.
She was 64 years old.
She lived in Whithorn with her husband Mick. She leaves 3 sons; Mark (43), Gary (42) and Darren (37). She had 4 grandchildren (Laura, Edward, Thomas and Rosie-Mae). She also had 11 step-grandchildren.
Marilyn was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire and lived in Bradford and Leeds for most of her life. She moved to Scotland with Mick about five years ago.
She was a wonderful mother and grand-mother. She was kind, considerate, generous and thoughtful. She had a good sense of humour and could always lift your spirits if you were feeling a bit down.
She always put others first. An example of this was when she looked after her own mother at home during her mum's final years. She never complained.
She will be sorely missed by all her family and everybody who knew her.
Me and Vicky will miss our chats on the phone and your lovely smile.
We are so glad that you met your new grandson Thomas and we will tell him all about you and how much you loved him.
We all love you mum. Goodnight and God bless. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

THE BOX
OPENED A BOX ONE DAY,
WHAT TREASURES DID WE FIND!
LETTERS AND SOME PHOTOGRAPHS,
OF DAYS WE LEFT BEHIND.
WE DRIFFED BACK TO YESTERDAY,
THE THOUGHT WAS OH SO CLEAR,
FOR JUST A MOMENT, ANYWAY.
IT FELT LIKE YOU WERE HERE,
WE SMILE WHEN WE THINK OF YOU,
SOMETIMES WE CRY SO MUCH.
WE ARE ALONE WITH OUT YOU NOW,
WE CRAVE TO FEEL YOUR TOUCH,
BUT GOD HAD OTHER PLANS FOR YOU.
AN ANGEL HE DID FIND.
SO NOW THE BOX OF MEMORIES,
IS ALL THAT'S LEFT BEHIND.
WITH ALL OUR LOVE ALWAYS
HAYLEY, DARREN AND ROSIE-MAE XXXXXX
STILL WAITING.
WE SIT BESIDE THE TELEPHONE
AND WAIT FOR YOU TO CALL.
THE TELEPHONE STAYS SILLENT
AND OUR TEARS BEGIN TO FALL.
WITH EACH DAY THAT PASSES BY
AND STILL NO CALL FROM YOU,
WE WANT TO KEEP BELIEVING THAT
YOU'VE HAD TOO MUCH TO DO.
WE TELL OURSELFS TOMORROW
YOU'LL FIND THE TIME TO PHONE,
TO LET US KNOW YOU JUST POPPED OUT
AND NOW YOUR BACK HOME.
WE'D TALK FOR HOURS ON THE PHONE,
WE'D COVER ALL THE YEARS
ABOUT OUR MEMORIES
THAT BROUGHT LAUGHTER AND SOME TEARS.
YOU REMEMBERED MANY THINGS
YOU HAS SO MUCH TO SAY,
BUT YOU FORGOT TO TELL US
THAT YOU HAD TO GO AWAY.
YOU DIDN'T LEAVE A NUMBER
FOR THE PLACE YOU WOULD BE,
BUT IF THEY GIVE YOU MESSAGES
YOU'LL HEAR THIS ONE FROM US.
YOUR PHONE CALLS HAVE ENDED NOW
BECAUSE WE HAD TO PART,
ALL THE LOVE WE HAVE FOR YOU
WILL NEVER LEAVE OUR HEARTS.

WITH LOVE ALWAYS HAYLEY, DARREN AND ROSIE-MAE. XXX
A Broken Heart
,•’``’•,•’``’•,
’•,`’•,*,• `,•’
....`’•,,• ’.
The day you left this world of ours
Almost fell apart
until then I never fully understood
The pain of a broken heart
,•’``’•,•’``’•,
’•,`’•,*,• `,•’
....`’•,,• ’.
Now ever time I think of you
Tear comes to my eyes
Sometimes I smile at your memory
Other times I cry
,•’``’•,•’``’•,
’•,`’•,*,• `,•’
....`’•,,• ’.
How can we go on without you
When you were always by our side
How can we live a normal life
When we've lost our precious mum
,•’``’•,•’``’•,
’•,`’•,*,• `,•’
....`’•,,• ’.
I know we have to go on
We just don't have a choice
But one day when our life is over
Then we can truly rejoice
,•’``’•,•’``’•,
’•,`’•,*,• `,•’
....`’•,,• ’.
We will meet again in heaven
Never again to part
And when that glorious day comes
I'll no longer have a broken heart
