.Carole passed away on the 8th of august 1994 aged 48 after battling cancer of the stomach.Carole
worked as a senior house parent at a home for children with mental and physical handicaps,she spent
her life looking after others.Carole grew up in Kimberly Place in Leeds9 with her mam Cecily Madden
and her dad George(GINGER)Madden,sisters Sheila,Patricia and the late Kathleen, and then moved to
Belle Isle later when her job required it,this was in fact for the sake of the children in her
care,they were to move to the new home in Belle Isle but she feared the children would have no one
they knew around them and this upset her as she had cared for some of these children for their whole
life so she made the choice to move with them and live in staff accomodation.
My mum was the
most loving,caring person ive ever known and anyone who had the chance to get to know her instantly
loved her,she had what we called the knack with children,friends,neighbours and in later life her
daughters would take their babies to see Carole if they were sick or just couldnt settle them they
could have been walking the floor for hours with a screaming baby and as soon as my mum had hold of
them they just seemed to be content.Family was every thing to my mum and when she became a nana for
the first time there was no one in the world happier than her when she had a baby in her arms she
was in her element.She went on to have 5 grandchildren and 2 greatgrandchildren.When my mum sadly
passed away i couldnt get over how many displays of flowers had been sent it was a shame she wasnt
there too see them for herself my mam loved flowers, and then when we got to the church and saw the
masses of people it was obvious how much she was loved and respected people had to stand outside of
the church as there was just not enough room inside.My mum has been gone for nearly 13 yrs and it
still feels like yesterday ,how much she meant to me and my sister can never be put into
words,we\'ll continue to miss and love her until we meet again,God Bless you mam and may perpetual
light shine upon you xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox. If you have taken
the time to read my Mums eulogy please take the time and light her a candle,Thank
You.oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo .

a letter from heaven
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, 'I welcome you.'
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.'
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......'My day was not in vain.'
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. MAY CAROLE REST IN PEACE AND LOOK DOWN ON HER FAMILY AND KEEP THEM ALL SAFE X
poem
Take my hand.O blessed mother, hold me firmly lest i fall; i am nervous when i'm walking, and to thee i humbly call.
Guide me over every crossing,watch me when i'm on the stairs; let me know you are beside me'listen to my fervent prayers.
Bring me to my destination Safely every single day;Help me with each undertaking,AS the hours pass away
And when evening falls upon us, And i fear to be alone, Take my hand ,O blessed mother, Once again and lead me home.
poem
Every Minute of everyday
A silence always comes my way
A hurting feeling beyond repair
I turn around and you're not there
I spoke to heaven and got no reply
Oh please Dear Lord hear my cry
Just one more moment and I'll go away
I ask for a minute of one full day
The silence returns and I stand here alone
An answer to my question remains unknown
So my loved one hear me and kiss me goodbye
This hurt is with me till the day i die
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
