Age 71

She had one brother called Stan and a sister called Betty.
When she was 18 she then married my dad Stanley Bradford
They then had two children me Linda and my brother Colin
Then came six grandchildren: Wayne, Darrell, Jamie, Kayleigh, Mark & John. Then 4 great grandchildren: Jake, Robbie, Lewis & Olivia.
My mum was brutally murdered and raped in Tunisia on the 07/03/06 by aTunisian National. My mum was made of stern stuff and loved going on holiday to Tunisia for 20 years with my dad, then when my dad died in 1998 she started to visit tunisia on her own.
If I could sum my mum up she was a strong lady who was very loving and trusting who loved to holiday in tunisia. She meant the world to me and I miss her terribly and always will. She was cruelly taking from me and I feel angry about that, but they have got the man and it is capital punnishment over there. We are still waiting for the trial so we are in limbo!
My mum had a flat over there and stayed for 3 months at a time, we were worried about her being on her own in a foriegn country but she assured us she was fine and was always surrounded by her friends. It was a place where she felt close to my dad. My mum had a daily routine she would make a 5 minute walk to the Sahara Beach Hotel where she would do 50 laps in the swimming pool before breakfast so she was a fit lady! And then spend the rest of the day sunbathing by the pool, before returning to her flat at 6 o'clock on the dot every night before it got dark. Then she would spend the rest of the night at her friend across from her apartment.
On that fateful day of the 07/03/06 my mum had been for her swim and was on her way back to her apartment at 17:55pm. When a man rode past on a motorbike he tryed to snatch my mums bag! But to no avail as he tried to grab her bag with my mum hanging on he fell off his bike and got angry! He dragged my mum in broad daylight into some bushes. The coroner at the inquest said that she sustained a serious blow to the head which would have rendered her unconcious, he then began to strangle my mum with her own skirt! And in his statement that we had interpreted stated that his animal instincts took over when he saw my mums thigh! And raped her as she was taking her last breaths, The coroner said that she would not have been aware of the sexual attack which I am glad of! I couldn't bare it if my mum had to go through that ordeal even though what she went through an horrific time as it was it gave me peace of mind that she didnt have to suffer at the hands of this sick man! It took a week for them to get in touch with us about mum. I had just come back from a lovely weekend in New York to have a knock at the door and my distraught brother told me mum had died outside Sahara Beach so we thought natural causes. But later that night we found out that it was something more sinister. Things were sketchy at first because of the language barrier. We phoned the foriegn common wealth office in Tunisia and they gave sketchy answers too. We werent getting to know anything. So after a week of rumours I decided to go to the country myself because I wanted answers! My uncle and his wife came with me to collect mums pesonal effects. The judge that gave us my mums possesions and told us my worst nightmare! did you know your mum was raped? I cried and the judge wasnt even sympathetic! They caught the man by my mums mobile phone and then he produced my mums jewelry and admitted to what he had done!
It is a year on and nobody will help us. All we want to know is when the trial is so we can see this man get what he deserves. It is like my mum never existed in Tunisia because it is all hush hush, because it is bad for tourism! And that is why I am doing this memorial so people can see that I love my mum and will keep on fighting untill I see that justice is done
⋱♰⋰ Still Here ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ Today I knew you were lonely,
I was watching while you cried;
I wanted to reach out and touch you,
Let you know I was by your side ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ It hurts me to see you grieving,
For I know you can't understand.
If only just for one moment,
You could feel the touch of my hand ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰Beyond the veil that divides us
I'm only a heartbeat away;
Though my life on earth is over
I am walking beside you each day ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ As the sun rises in the morning,
I can still share the beauty with you,
Here in my heavenly home,
I see from a different view ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ I hear your sighs in the evening
When a myriad of stars are aglow;
I sense that you are remembering,
The love that we shared long ago ⋱♰⋰
⋱♰⋰ Tonight when sleep beckons you
In dreams you'll sense me draw near.
When the sun rises in the morning,
Remember my love I'm still here ⋱♰⋰

Life is a book in volumes three--
The past, the present,
And the yet-to-be.
The past is written and laid away,
The present we're writing every day,
And the last and best of volumes three
Is locked from sight --
---------------God keeps the key.

"I dropped a tear in the ocean~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~Whenever they find it ~~~~~~
~~~~~Is when I'll stop loving you."~~~~~~~~~~
-=- Author Unknown -=-
☆ If every tear we shed for you, became a star up above.☆ You'd stroll in Heavens garden lit with everlasting love ☆ If only we could turn back time, Life once again would be so fine. ☆ Time would pass, you'd still be here, To have, to hold, to love so dear.☆
When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.
If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.
If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.
If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.
If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.
So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.

Do you make them laugh up their,
Does your smile bring them good cheer?
Do you make the sun shine brighter,
Like you did when you were here?
The very mention of your name,
The memories of your smile,
The little things you said and did,
Are with us all the while.
You meant so very much to us,
There’s nothing left to say,
Except that without you here
There is no perfect day.
For no one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times
We have broken down & cried.
We want to tell you something
So there wont be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without...
Your family miss you Angel
Merry Christmas to you & your family
Love Violet

Life is Hard Without you
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
Missing you more with each new day
and trying to be brave...
Thinking of our happy times
and all the love you gave...
Feeling very grateful
for the dreams we saw come true,
For every lovely thing we shared
and, most of all, for you...
Treasuring each memory
that keeps you ever near...
Remembering familiar things
and wishing you were here.
Life's very hard without you
but that is the price to pay
For all the shared and precious times
grief cannot take away.
