Florence May Dodd died on 5th November 2006 - she passed on suddenly and completely unexpectedly and
left her family devastated.
Born in Norfolk street North Shields - moving eventually to the Quadrant. Mam worked for most of
her life within the Printing Industry (Moores in North Shields, Thorntons in Wallsend and Printers
Coast Whitley Bay). She loved work and made some really good and lifelong friends there.
My mother was an amazing woman. Nothing got her down - loving, caring with incredible levels of
grit and determination. A tough lady but very, very loving and protective of her family - in other
words a "proper mum". Hugely funny and mischevious - I am fortunate enough to have so
many memories of us sharing laughter together.
Things my mother loved: her 2 adored grand daughters - Diana May and Samantha Jane...... anything
that sparkled.....flowers, children, her friends/socialising, Sad music, going down memory lane
(again and again), North Shields Fish Quay, hot melted stilton - on anything! Carnation milk - on
anything! Country File, Songs of Praise, The Daily Mail crossword ......hot bubble baths, the
occasional glass of sweet sherry.......
Things she was good at - making you laugh, Yorkshire puddings, Home made Rice Pud......! a damn good
natter.....! putting the world (and anyone else....) to rights....and just being a fab mum and
grandma.....
I put 3 pieces of music on the site - all of which my mother would have loved. She had all kinds of
tastes in music and liked nothing better than to sit and "dance" with Diana to the latest
music - the 2nd song is in recognition of my mothers youthful and fun loving spirit - which she
never lost. Whenever I listen to this, I can see her clapping away to this!
A huge thank you to anyone who takes the trouble to leave a tribute, light a candle or just read
about my mum and look at her pictures. THANK YOU..... I often visit the site - to see my
mum......and its lovely to know that other people have taken the trouble to leave messages......
Hi Janice, Just wanted to say a big thankyou for the lovely words you left on my mams site, they were very comforting and meant a lot, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Your tribute to your mam brought a tear to my eye, as she sounds just like my mam was, so kind and caring, loved a good natter and never complained about anything, thought life was for living and enjoying, and made the most of it.
I hope your mams met up with mine cos I'm sure they'll have plenty to talk about.
Life just is'nt the same once your mams gone is it?, so i understand the sense of loss you feel. I hope this site brings you a lot of comfort as my mams does for me.
Your mam sounds like she too was an amazing woman, and I think she'd be equally as proud as you are, having such a wonderful thoughtful daughter to live on in her memory.
Stay strong hun and god bless you and your family x x x
thankyou very much for dads tribute
God bless you your mum sounds a wonderful woman to have known,i bet she still looks after you from heaven.As you said your mum missed her mother terriblly and they are together now.I believe that our parents have just gone into the next room and that they can see what we do what we say and how much we miss them....they look over our journey in life and wait for us when our time is right we will see them again,then maybe me my dad you and your mum could all celebrate years gone by together.Take care of each otherxxxsent with love from one daughter to another xxx

Mother in Law
May,
22 years ago you gave me a home, you welcomed me into your family and supported me like a Mother.I can never repay all the kindness that you showed me over the years.
You were a wonderful Grandmother to my daughter Samantha, and you should feel nothing but pride that the son you raised John, has turned out to be the most wonderful husband & father anyone could want.
missing you always,
Sandra.......................

from you little angel on earth
love sammy the snowdrop.xxxxxxxxxxx
i love you
gran i still cant believe that you have gone. I think about you everyday. i love you so much and that will never change.I have got a photo of you and me beside my bed and i look at it before i go to bed and in the morning. whenever i think about you i can feel that i am going to cry but i just fill my head with all of the sound times we had together; sitting out in the garden in the summer and dancing along to my ipod. you were so funny and really confident . i can remember when i was little and we used to play fight and you always let me win =). You are my gran and i love you with all of my heart for ever and always. The memories that we shared i can never forget.I really miss having our girly chats about who we thought was good looking on the tv and watching those old black and white films on my holidays. I am going to college in a few months time. I know that you will be by my side though, looking after me like you always did. I hope that you are proud of me and what i have done.
Miss you mam......
Hi mam - still really miss you loads. I know you are in a better place now - I really do believe that. We had some sparring times together....! but we also loved each other and you know that I would do anything for you - and you me. I found the bag of treats I bought you - walnut whips and M & S finest croissants - typical you! "I'll just put those somewhere safe....." - you were always so thrifty and careful - wish you hadn't been....I know we had some fantastic family times together and I take a lot of comfort in that - love you..... Janice x
