The obituary notice of Christina (Tina) CHAPMAN

My beautiful incredible mumma, tomorrow he’s 15… you were always there for him… a little bit nanny, a little bit parent & always his best friend & partner in crime. We miss you everyday but he really misses the bad jokes you shared, the random TV you enjoyed together & you allowing him be to be just a little bit naughty… you’d be so proud of the young man he’s becoming. He’s surrounded by a village of incredible family but we miss you every minute and love you more than anything, we’d give anything for just one more minute, just one more hug… You’re the best 💕

11.04.3025 The last goodbye.
The most numbing, surreal, out of body experience I’ve ever had.
I’d had nightmares about that day since I was a little girl. You were and always will be my favourite thing about my life. You always said I was a mummy’s girl and like your second skin and that will never, ever change.
I will live my life for you but I also look forward to the day I get to hug my mummy once again and never have to say goodbye ever again. So until that day, I will think about you always and try every single day to make you proud mummy. Love you tons and tons xxx

This time last year we were preparing to say our final goodbye,getting ready to attend your funeral.It still doesn't feel real putting those words together,the lead up was full of heartbreak and memories,knowing life would never have you in it again.The day itself was everything you asked for.Everyone you loved came together,family,friends all the people's lives you touched so deep.You could feel the love in every moment,every tear,every story shared of the incredible woman you were and the mark you left on so many.Together we followed behind on your final journey.Hand in hand,side by side,full of love and unity even through the pain we were exactly where we needed to be together for you mum.it broke us to let you go but we did it the way you deserved with love,togetherness and dignity.You remain in my heart,soul,thoughts and in everything I do and say and that will never change.I want you back so bad but im just glad your free of pain.I will always be your 2nd baby girl and we will be together again one day,until then I will keep your memory alive and always remember your words of wisdom and advice,your warm hugs and heart,Your love.Thank you for being amazing mum.I love you so very much always and forever ❤️ 😭xxxx

4th of April the date that gave me life,but asked me to say goodbye to you.

Mum.I miss you so much and I dont even know what im feeling anymore.i saw you for the very first time on 4th of April all those years ago and the very last time I saw you was when I sat with you in the chapel of rest on the 4th of April 2025.I will always remember everything you ever told me about your pregnancy with me and how after you had me you were staring at me and I had the most iridescent blue eyes you had ever seen and the song bright eyes made you think of me.You said I looked Italian.I so wish I could hear all of those memories and more today and everyday.You told me how I was breach and everytime they turned me i turned straight back when you got home.You always said I was a typical Aries the ram and reminded me of it frequently.The year you made me a clock birthday cake made out of sweets,the year I had a party and my friends got a 20 p bet on the grand national.Im sat here right now wanting and needing you on my birthday the day you brought me into this world.Without you there would be no me.You would call every year singing your heart out before I had opened my eyes asking me what I had got.I will miss the happy birthday banner from 10 years before that you found scrunched up in the drawer the candles without no holders,the birthday paper you had kept from presents gifted to you just cause you liked the paper.Like you ive never been a lover of my birthday but this is so different than not wanting to celebrate getting older this is missing your mum so desperately and so hard that you feel such deep pain that you feel lost.You would always say try and enjoy your day to me but I cant the pain is too much.I will put up the very last card you sent telling me how proud of me you were and how much you loved me,Thank you for always being the best,for being the most selfless,loving,incredible mummy bear I could of wished for.4th of April will never be my birthday but will always be the day I had to say goodbye forever.Love you so much your baby girl Karen x

She was our strength in life,now her legacy will be our strength.
