Rosemary Cooper who died on the 2nd may 2008.She was 56 and lived in Waterford city Ireland.She leaves behind husband Les,children Mark,Robert and Amanda and four grandchildren.She had four brothers and one sister living in England and a big extended family living in Waterford.
Mary had some health problems over the years but nothing to cause any major concerns.She died suddenly in her sleep in the early hours of friday the 2nd May and we still do not know the cause.Still waiting for reports to come back.
Her funeral was on the 10th of May and it was the hardest and saddest day of our lives.
She would have been so happy though that we were all together and that she at last got Joe and Chris in a suit!Les did her proud.He was her rock and they were a good couple.He made her very happy and most importantly she felt safe and secure and loved.
She was our big sis and always looked out for us all and was very protective.
She was a strong willed lady with a big personality and always saw the funny side of things despite having health problems and being in pain alot of the time
She had the loudest most infectious laugh which would set you off laughing yourself.
She could always have a laugh and laugh at herself and didn't mind one bit if you teased her.
She also had abit of a temper as all our family have and was quite scary when she got going.You would not mess with her!!
If she thought she was right about something she would stand her ground and was very good in an argument.She always fought all our battles for us and occasionally with us but we were always fine after a kiss and a hug and a laugh!
She was very much a lady and loved her clothes,make up and accessories and had lovely thick hair which she changed all the time.
She had the most beautiful radiant skin and looked years younger than her age.
She loved to dance and when her back was good could give anyone a run for their money on the dance floor.
She loved her films and t.v and dirty dancing and saturday night fever were her favourites.
She loved her tea and diet coke and ciggies.
She was a good listener and always offered good advice and comfort.Even though I was over here in England I always knew she was on the other end of the phone and she always sent me the loveliest texts telling me how much she loved me.sometimes she sent me blank texts as she wasn't very good with technical things and i would tease her!!
She was the most houseproud person i ever met and was always changing the kitchen or bathroom or wanting to decorate.
She collected teapots and loved her scented candles.
She was one of the most innocent people and we used to laugh at how naive she was about things despite being in her fifties.It was a lovely quality to have and what made her mary.She was my sister and my friend.Our Mary doll.
Mary you are and always will be my big sis and i will miss you forever.Thank you for everything.For looking after me when i was little and for the happy times in Hayes.For making all those christmases so exciting and special for us all when we were little.
For listening and caring,for the hugs and comfort,for the advice and common sense,for the fun and laughter but most of all for the love.The abundance of love i always felt from you.It made me feel safe and i will carry it with me always.
it is so hard at the moment coming to terms with you leaving and sometimes i wonder if i'll ever come to terms with it but i know you are watching over us and looking out for us from up there.
I hope you know how much i love you.Will see you again one day and we will have the biggest hug and laugh again.I know you are at peace and in no more pain and don't worry we will look after each other. or else you will kick our arses when we meet you again i know.
love always and forever from lis your little sis.xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Missed as always.
So strange that Lisa would write on here the day after I had a dream about you mum. never a day goes by that I do not think about you or wonder what you would be doing if you were here today. Life will never be the same again, but life goes on for us all, and we live every day in your memory, remembering all the good times we had together, as a family and and our own personal relationships with you.
Things are looking up for me, I have met the most wonderful woman in the world, I know you would approve of her, we have overcome many obstacles and started with nothing, now everything is now coming together for us. I know you watch over all of us and make sure we are ok, just wish the sadness of knowing we cannot see you for a while would go away.
I love you mum, always will and hope that one day we will be together again, walking in heaven and enjoying time lost once again.

Missing youx
My lovely Sis I am missing you so much. Was in Hanwell yesterday and for some reason it reminded me of going to Hayes and I suddenly wished you were in Judge Heath Lane and I could just jump on the bus in Hounslow and go and see you. I often shut myself off from grieving for you as it is just too much to deal with, but always know you are in my heart every single day. Time doesn't make things easier........there will always be a huge void where you once stood. Look after each other you and Dad. Lis.xxxxxx
hey sis,
another birthday gone by without you.always on my mind and in my heart.look after dad for us all.lve you forever.lis.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Missing You
Missing you very much mum feel very helpless being so far away and not able to see everyone and help them through this difficult time. I wish you could come to me and tell me what to do or show me the way, life is so hard now you are not here to guide all of us. I dont think any of us realised just what you did for our family and now you are gone there is a big gap in our lives.
I am trying my best to be there for everyone but its tough when some wont talk about things, i wish i could figure out how to make us all get along. I love you and think of you everyday, the girls miss you and ask about you all the time also. look after everyone in ireland and england and show us the way to go and how to be a family again.
love you
oh sis
i am thinking of all the famly.mum,dad,les,the kids and how much we are all struggling with this mary.
we all miss you so much.i hope i am doing ok.i love them all so much and want to take the hurt away but of course i can't can i.there is no easy path to get through grief.
i will never get over losing you.there was so much more we should have done together and so much i didn't say that i won't ever be able to say to you now.
i always took it for granted that you would always be there.
i remember the last time i saw you when you got out of the taxi with all your cushions from town.we didn't even hug properly as you had so many bags.if i'd known i would have hugged and hugged you and never let go.
always your sister.lis.xxxxxxxxx

i love u so much mum.please let us all know you're still with us.
Missing you
Wow, hard to top what rob, sinead and chloe said!....I dreamt about you this week, seems so strange that I have a hard time dealing with god and faith and I finally broke down and asked a preacher how I could communicate to you and he simply told me to say a prayer and ask you to visit me.
You came to me tuesday night and told me not to get upset that you were gone, which didnt help as i remember crying in my dream and you told me everything will be fine and you will be looking out for all of us. i felt so strange because i woke up from my dream and i had tears in my eyes. my room mate where i stay told me yesterday he heard me tossing and turning and crying.
safe to say you have restored my faith in everything mum, i feel almost as if even though you are not 'here' you are with us wherever we go and when i need you i know you will watch over us all. Emma talks about you all the time, she has drawn pictures for you....she told me to tell you she hopes to see you again one day...i know that she will.
i feel so distant from everyone in ireland and england but i need to be here for kayla, ansleigh and emma. please watch over dad, amanda, rob, sinead and chloe and everyone else and make sure they stay safe and in gods hands. As rob said you always looked at for us and gave us the best even at times when we knew you couldnt afford it, my childhood was something i will always treasure, you fought so hard for rob and because of that rob and i have so many great memories growing up.
i wanted to thank you for that, for fighting for me when doctors told me i wouldnt walk, sticking up for me when others would not. i hope we all can live up to your high standards of raising a family and doing the right thing, i know rob and sinead are showing you just how to make a success of their lives. im so happy for the time we all got to spend with you in ireland last year, i regretted going to ireland for a while but now after all this i would never take that away from the girls....you gave them such a wonderful life, and like chloe the girls will always love their 'grandma'.
i miss you everyday, you are the first thing i think of when i wake up each day and the last thing i think of each night before i sleep. you give me the strength to put sara behind me and move on with my life, its a struggle but you give me the power to move on with my life...thank you mum.
HI MUM JUST WANTED TO WRITE TO YOU AND TELL YOU HOW MUCH WE MISS YOU.THERE IS NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT WE DON'T THINK ABOUT YOU.CHLOE IS ALWAYS TALKING TO YOUR PICTURE WE HAVE IN THE LIVING ROOM SINEAD CRIES NEARLY EVERYTIME SHE HEARS HER AND HOPES THAT SHE CAN HEAR YOU WHICH I THINK SHE CAN AS SHE TELLS US WHEN SHE,S FINISHED TALKING TO YOU HOW FUNNY YOU ARE. WE MISS YOU EVERYDAY AND THERE IS A HOLE IN OUR HEARTS THAT WILL ONLY BE FILLED WHEN WE MEET AGAIN.WE WORRY ABOUT EVERYONE AND TRY TO BE THERE FOR THEM AS MUCH AS WE CAN.THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU,VE DONE FOR ME YOU ARE THE BEST MUM ANYONE COULD WISH FOR THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GOOD MEMORIES YOU GAVE ME YOU WERE THERE FOR ME WHENEVER I NEEDED YOU YOUR KIND AND LOVING WAY HAS MADE ME THE PERSON I AM TODAY AND I THANK GOD EVERYDAY FOR THAT.I KNOW NOW THAT I HAVE TO BE THE BEST FATHER AND HUSBAND TO BE I CAN BE
