This post I wanted to make about my mum, who past away 16th June 2018, it was a hard time for us, she died of a stoke which was the last thing we was expecting her to die off, It left a big hole in my life when she died it was like a part of me died with her. Her name was Olive Kellaway, she was 78 when god called her home.
