My mother was born on 12th June 1920 so today would have been her 100th birthday.


She was mother to four children, and all four of us (plus son-in-law) had plans to go out together to celebrate her life.

We have so many happy and amusing memories of her.

Mum was the one who bought me me first computer and taught me to send emails and use the internet.

She would have been enthralled by all the ffamily history research that I've done since she died.

This lovely lady died in February 2003, so didn't get to see where her generosity and guidence led.

Since she died she has had four more great grandchildren.
What a shame that they didn't get to know her: =

Kitty Thomas 1920-2003.

Thinking of you as you remember your mum on this significant day.

Treasure those wonderful memories and tell the next generations about this special lady, who inspired you so much.

Thinking of you on this special day. Your mum sounds a wonderful lady and you should cherish your happy memories. She’s never gone away, she’ll always be there in your heart.

One of my granddaughters is 20 today so would have been born on your mum’s 80th birthday.
