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......

Miss You May
Sam sends her love, She is such a good girl doing really well at school, her friends brother died yesterday and she is very upset as her friend is devastated.I know that she will be there to support her and look after her.Life is so unfair.
Sam is having to get used to sharing again, we have Daniel back again (foster child).I think you would have liked Dan he has a mad sense of humour.Thinking about you all the time especially when we see the spring flowers. Love Sandra xx
Love hurts !
Thank you for writing on my mums site, you sound like you had a wonderful mum too. Just like mine she loved her grandchildren, dancing and listening to music. I ahve a daughter calles samantha jayne whom my mum adored. I sometimes wonder why others seem to cope, but i guess you are like me not coping but have to live with it.You too have a wonderful family, all my love to you all, sure your mum is looking down and feeling very proud of you all.
God bless Di Dodd xx
She is Gone
You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she's gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
Look over your loving family, Florence and take care of them until you all meet again.
Hi mam
Hi there mam - just thinking about you as usual and thought I'd say hi to you. Miss you so very much.....normally I would have called in today after a shopping spree....and shown you all my new shoes and you would have said....can you really afford them and I'd have said no and laughed! You'd have said how much you liked them and we would have had a good natter.....I have the memories of what would have been ......
all my love Janice...xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Do not stand on my grave and weep...
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft starshine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry...
I am not there. I did not die.
Goodnight GodBless Florence
Lots of love to your family x x x

I am going on a journey
To a place I long to go
A land that’s filled with angels
Where the peaceful valleys flow.
I have no need for luggage
So I plan to travel light
A first-class trip to heaven
It’s a non-returning flight.
There won’t be tears of sadness
Sweet blessings I will reap
A torch will burn eternal
And the soul doth never sleep.
I do not need an auto
There is no bus or train
My journey is predestined
And I won’t be back again.
No need for food or shelter
Everything I need is there
My home that lies in heaven
Is a joy beyond compare.
I am ready for my venture
Got the voucher in my hand
I’m bound for Zion glory
In that far-off distant land.
I am headed for that City
My flight was paid for me
To a land of peace and beauty
Just beyond the crystal sea.
I soon will have my ticket
There is no need to pack
On a one-way trip to heaven
And I won’t be coming back.
