Evelyn Lesley Anderson

5th June 1951 to 6th January 2008

Aged 56

From East Kilbride but was born in Oakley in Fife

My mum Mrs Evelyn Anderson died on January 6th 2008 in Hairmyres Hospital on Ward 12. She was 56 at
the time of her death.

Evelyn was a loving Christian wife to Paul who died at 33 under tragic circumstances, and a loving
mother to Lesley, Laura and Kirsty. Three Grandchildren Jack, Paul and Isabel. Evelyns sister
Elizabeth and a brother Gordon , her mum margaret and her late dad Ronnie who we know she loved us
all very much.

Evelyn had worked in various caring organisations and always cared for all. Evelyn was born in
Oakley in Fife then through a work related situation my grandparents moved to East Kilbride where my
grandfather worked for Rolls Royce they stayed in Falkland Park, Strathfillan Road then she moved to
kent in 1978 with my dad to Sevenoaks then Hartley near Longfield. East Kilbride for many years my
mums maiden name was Gillies.

Evelyn took a stroke like symptom on the 5th October 2007 and was admitted to hospital which they
done a CT Scan and found Brain Tumours, Lung Cancer and Adrenalin Cancer for 3 months she was very
ill and underwent Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy. The Radiotherapy did help the brain tumours to
shrink but the Chemotherapy had side affects which made her feel very ill.

On the 19th December 2007 she was having problems breathing so she was admitted once again to
Hairmyres Hospital she was constantly attached to oxygen and nebolisers.

Then she started loose her voice in the begining of january and then on the 5th January her oxygen
levels started to go down but they did manage to stabalise her then I, got a phone call from
Hairmyres Hospital at 5AM which i went straight up to see her, they did manage to stableise her for
a while and she fought it all day she was in so much pain she died at 5.30pm of pneumonia I can not
believe she has gone but if she died of the cancers it would of been a lot more painful for her.

My mum never complained much, even though she was in a lot of pain. Her faith in God and in Jesus
was very real to all who knew her. She was an inspiration. She was well loved and respected all who
knew her as well as the neighbourhood of Douglasdale in the West Mains. She had time to talk to
everybody and she cared for everybody she met.

She is a mother whom you remember who had love for all her family and friends.


My mum will always be in my heart and my prayers.

Lesley

My Dear Family xx
It's me again from Heaven
With a message from above
Feel my spirit all around you
As I sprinkle you with love...

***********

I have watched you, as your tears flow
I have heard your silent screams
I know you sleep with visions
Of me visiting your dreams...

***********

I have come and sat beside you
Placed my hands upon your face
Wiped away the many teardrops
I so wish I could erase...

***********

I have watched you every day now
Seen such pain within your eyes
I just wish that there were some way
I could help you realise...

***********

I am happy up in Heaven
In this peaceful loving place
Where I will be here waiting
To welcome you with my embrace...

***********

You will join me here in Heaven
When your time comes you’ll see
Leave your Earthly cares behind you
Travel on to where you’re free...

**********

I have heard you ask to go now
But there is more for you to do
I promise I'll be waiting
When your time on earth is through ...

Nice Poem

I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.
Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?

We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.
So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring

If tomorrow starts without me

If tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not there to see.
If the sun should rise, and find your eyes,
Are filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
The way you did today.
While thinking of the many things, we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you loved me,
As much as I love you.
And every time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,
I hope you’ll understand,
An angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.

She said my place was ready, in heaven up above,
And that I’d have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.

I had so much to live for, so much that I should do,
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.

I wish I could have said goodbye,
And kissed and seen you smile,
I wish I could have stayed with you even for a little while.

But then I had to realise, that this could never be,
Now emptiness, and memories,
Would take the place of me.

But when I walked through heavens gates,
I felt so much at home,
And then the lord looked down on me, from his golden throne.

He said, “this is for eternity, but I will promise you,
Although your life on earth has passed, here life starts anew”

“I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each days the same up here,
There’s no longing for the past”

My loved ones, please don’t grieve for me,
Coz I am truly free,
And I will wait for you to come and share my life with me.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here in your heart
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xx
