This time last year I lost the most beautiful, strong and amazing person in my world. I didn't know how I could go on without you but I know you are there looking after us all and willing us on. I miss you so much, you will always be in my heart, soul and thoughts. Love you with every breath I take.

I felt ur presence this morning when I woke up. You looked down at me, smiled and told me it would be alright in that way u have. I felt the flush of calm wash over me and I knew it was you. I know people would dismiss it but I don't care, u were there like you have always been when I needed you.

I found some pics of u & the kids from 2001 and u looked so happy. I have one of u in profile looking down at the kids playing and even tho u couldn't see the front of ur face u can see ur smile & the love u have for them shining out. U have an amazing smile that made u shine. I will miss that look so much. I love u mum. X

I had planned to take you back to Rockingham Terrace for your 80th. I had it all planned in my head. I would arrange for you and Gwen to go the last part by train as you did as kids, that you would have been able to go inside your grans house and look around. Afterwards meet some of the people, families you would have known growing up so you could relive the old days.

You were such an incredible person and had such a major impact on my life which will remain with me forever. All your silliness makes me smile and missing you makes me cry. You will always remain in my heart and thoughts - both good and sad.

I always loved listening to your stories & revisiting your funny events. X

Joyce had a simple goodness that affected all who met her (even if it was for only a brief moment!) She was one of the few people I knew who instinctively knew what was right and what was wrong but never felt the desire to judge any of us lesser souls. I will miss her unconditional love and positive influence.

When You Feel Lonely) When a person you love passes away, look to the night sky on a clear day. The star that to you, appears to be bright, will be your loved one, looking upon you during the night. The lights of heaven are what shows through, as your loved one watches all that you do. When you feel lonely for the one that you love, look to the heavens in the night sky above! http://www.oocities.org/heartland/village/7549

Look for me in Rainbows Time for me to go now, I won't say goodbye; Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky. In the morning sunrise when all the world is new, Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you. Time for me to leave you, I won't say goodbye; Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky. In the evening sunset, when all the world is through, Just look for me and love me, and I'll be close to you. It won't be forever, the day will come and then My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again. Time for us to part now, we won't say goodbye; Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky. Every waking moment, and all your whole life through Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you. Just wish me to be near you, And I'll be there with you.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Joyce Chesham. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
