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......
For Janice with love, god bless. xx

hi, favourite Mother In Law
May,
Sammy is settling in well at her new school.We have bought her a lovely puppy called Nelly.I wish you could see her, she is so affectionate.We adopted her from an animal sanctuary in cheshire.We have another foster child staying at the moment, such a pity you never got to meet any of the children that we have helped.Thinking of you every day,never forgotten, love sandra xxxxxxxxxx
i know i didnt really know you to well, but i did meet you once when we were in the car. you were really lovely, and i enjoyed meeting you.
i came and visited you the other day with diana, and we both enojyed it, its nice having a place where i can sit and think about my grandparents aswell, i know they arent resting there. but id like to think that you, my nana and my granda are sitting up there together trying to keep me and diana on track haha. so, it was nice going. we stayed for abit, we had a little chat about things too. i know you were there with us :) i might pop down with diana again one time soon if she likes, im sure youd like a visit from her :) she thinks about you all the time.
i like chatting to diana about you, shes got so many nice things to say about you, and we go on for hours about you, i like hearing her stories about you and all the nice times you had. we always sit and reflect on thing the two of us haha.
when we get started you should see us!!
but yeah, you were really a special woman to her, and i love that picture of you two with the crowns on, that alwyas makes me smile. i didnt get a picture with my nana and granda before they passed away. i regret that, diana is so lucky she has that with you :)
anyways, before i get carried away :| haha
im sorry that i havent really said what ive meant to say, but i cant express it :|
you know sometimes i feel dianas 'pain'. like when shes upset i cant help but be upset. i feel it. i know that sounds ridiculous but i can :(
i think its because i know how she feels.
its nice i have someone who understands me, but its such a shame that your gone :(
thankyou for letting me fill your page with a massive comment that probably didnt make sense :)
hope your enjoying yourself up there :)
love kelly
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
gran i still really miss you more than anything. You were my world i look at your pictures and i canit believe you aint here anymore...
i cant wait to see you again, just how i remember you. That gorgeous smile i miss so much.
Its just one of thise things though innit?
you always lose the best things in life when you aint expecting it,
You no i wish we could have our little random chats like we used to i miss those so much and dead heading those daffies in the back garden taking allllll day and annoying grandad cause we used to leave the tv on and the back door open hahaha
i miss you and love you as always!

For Janice, hope you are well, god bless. xx
May you find serenity and tranquility
in a world you may not always understand.
May the pain you have known
and the conflict you have experienced
give you the strength to walk through life
facing each new situation with courage and optimism.
Always know that there are those
whose love and understanding will always be there,
even when you feel most alone.
May a kind word,
a reassuring touch,
and a warm smile
be yours every day of your life,
and may you give these gifts
as well as receive them.
May the teachings of those you admire
become part of you,
so that you may call upon them.
Remember, those whose lives you have touched
and who have touched yours
are always a part of you,
even if the encounters were less than you would have wished.
It is the content of the encounter
that is more important than its form.
May you not become too concerned with material matters,
but instead place immeasurable value
on the goodness in your heart.
Find time in each day to see beauty and love
in the world around you.
Realize that what you feel you lack in one regard
you may be more than compensated for in another.
What you feel you lack in the present
may become one of your strengths in the future.
May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility.
Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience.
May you find enough inner strength
to determine your own worth by yourself,
and not be dependent
on another's judgment of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved.
Janice this is for you
God hath not promised
Skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways
All our lives through;
God hath not promised
Sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow,
Peace without pain.
But God hath promised
Strength for the day,
Rest for the labour,
Light for the way,
Grace for the trials,
Help from above,
Unfailing sympathy,
Undying love.
HAPPY
