Joanne Sarah Waddington

My L'il Sis Jo...WOW she was an amazing person!She was the kindest most thoughtful woman you could
ever wish to meet,and I'm not just saying that because she's my sister,she truely was the BEST.Jo
was so very beautiful inside and out,always saw the good in people,even those that didn't deserve to
be noticed.She would try and help anyone.
Jo was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer in October 2007,she was told not to expect more than two
years.Our world fell apart,the whole family,shocked angry and upset do not describe how we
felt.Jo,well she coped remarkably well really.She always thought of herself as a wuss or a drama
queen,but she was so far from the truth,she was so very brave and she couldn't see it.We all tried
so hard to be brave but inside we were all dying,we still are.We tried to do as many things as we
could with Jo,given that she had been given two years and the clock was ticking.We gave her a 33rd
birthday party,twice,we had a Family Christmas and New Year,Jo had three very special holidays with
her husband Sean and her two young boys Cameron and Sean-Lee.
A Football Fun Day was organised for Jo to be held on 19th July at Bramcote training field,it was
cold and kept raining on and off.Jo was so poorly but she insisted on going,and so I took her on the
insistance that she had to go in a wheelchair,and she did.I didnt realise just how poorly she was
until I looked at her posing for photos with family and friends,she could barely hold herself up.The
day was a great success and Jo was thrilled at all that had turned up for her.I took her home and
stayed with her that evening.I'm so glad I did,I wish I'd been able to spend more time with her.
So much for the two years,our Jo didn't even get one year!Two days later Jo went to sleep for
ever.I'm so fortunate to have had Jo as a sister and my best friend.I miss her so much,but I'm glad
she doesn't have to suffer that awful illness and the terrible pains any more.You will never be gone
from us Jo,you will always be in our hearts.
Sleep peacefully my L'il Sis,Squidges and Snuggles for you always,I love you so very much
babe.XmwaXmwaXmwaX

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Thank You for that song Jo,you really don't know what you mean to me,it's impossible to say,words
haven't been created that truely say how I feel xxx
