Margaret Rae Will (McGrail) left Mothers Day 18-03-2007 no, goodbye, no warning, just fell asleep.
She was 62 the same age as her dad when he passed away.
She was cheerful that day, sitting having a laugh and looking forward to all her Mothers Day gifts, she spent the morning with me and my sister Karen sharing a laugh over a cup of tea before I went to work. When I put my jacket on to leave she grabbed me and gave me such a hug you wouldn’t believe,‘now you look after yourself, I’ll see you later’ that was it! The last words she said to me, Karen and Jason spent some time with her, opening her gifts having a laugh and a piece of cake it was a typical Mothers Day full of love. After everyone was away Dad made dinner they sat watching the football, she was a terrible fanatic! She was enjoying a great day although she felt very tired.
She went upstairs to freshen up, when she came back down she quietly walked into the living-room, Dad asked if she was ok, ‘yeah just sorting myself’, she sat on the couch and left….. Without another word.
She lived in Drumchapel but originally came from 35 Byron Street, Partick West, she had 2 brothers John who died several years ago and Patrick who still stays in Glasgow with his grown family. She married John McColgan in 1963 and had 2 great kids John & Karen she later divorced John and several years later met Robert Will (Bobby) from Drumchapel,where they added Michelle to their family.
She stayed close to her family and loved her family around her, her mum Norah and dad Jimmy (James) especially for the occasional party.
Margaret was diagnosed with diabetes at 42 after a fall, over the years her health got worse through it, but she never let it get on top of her, even when she took heart failure at 57. No matter what with the failing eyesight and being confined to a wheelchair most days the world could not beat her, she brought her kids up the same way ‘never to let things get the better of them, no matter how tough’. In her later years she lived for her Grandson Jason who she believed was her Brother John’s spirit returning to help her through the aches and pains, no matter how bad her day was Jason made it worthwhile to live, they were the best o’ pals. No matter where mum is now, we will always know she’s listening to us and although we won’t see her we know she’ll be around somewhere
She was my entire world and I will never forget her, I know she will be sorely missed by all the family, in small ways and big ways and especially at Christmas, she never forgot anyone and I hope they return the gesture.
She was my world and I’ll love her until the end of it.
SHE WILL ALWAYS BE MY GUARDIAN ANGEL

X♥ MY DREAM♥ X
I HAD A DREAM I WAS WALKING WITH AN ANGEL, SHE TOOK MY HAND AND GUIDED ME THROUGH LIFE, ALTHOUGH I
WAS SCARED SHE TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY SHE WOULD ALWAYS BE WITH ME. EVEN WHEN I STARTED TO CRY SHE
WIPED MY TEARS AND WOULD ALWAYS COMFORT ME.
'WHEN YOU FALL, I WILL BE THERE TO CATCH YOU'
'WHEN YOU ARE DOWN, I WILL EASE YOUR MIND'
WHO COULD THIS ANGEL BE, AS I STARTED TO CRY I FELT HER SOFT WARM ARMS AROUND ME, COMFORTING ME, IT
GAVE ME THE STRENGTH TO GO ON IN LIFE, THERE WAS NOTHING I WANTED MORE BUT TO KNOW WHO THIS ANGEL
WAS, SHE SAID 'ALL IN GOOD TIME'.
ALTHOUGH YOU WON'T ALWAYS SEE ME, I AM THERE AND I MAY NOT ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, BUT I AM
LISTENING. GO ON IN LIFE WITH THE STRENGTH I'VE GIVEN YOU AND DON'T EVER DOUBT MY PRESENCE.
AS I WAS COMING OUT OF MY DREAM, I ASKED THE ANGEL HER NAME SHE REPLIED 'MUM'.
LOVE MICHELLE X
miss you so much mum xxx

My Dearest MuM
Mummy Dearest you will always be
My mother so loving and so loved by me
For God has taken you to be by his side
Now in Heaven is where you will reside
You have blessed my life in so many ways
I will cherish our memories until the end of my days
You left me too soon and this was not part of our plan
But God’s wishes always come before those of man
Without you I must travel the path alone
No longer my guide, the way you had shown
Your heart my have been weak, but you were strong
For your loving embrace I will always long
God sent you to me as a special gift from above
To teach me life’s lessons and shower me with your love
I will always remember your beautiful and smiling face
In my heart you will always have a very special place
A special bond we shared like no other
For this is possible for only Daughter and Mother
I thanked God for each day we were able to share
But without you in my life it is too difficult to bear
Being with God, I hope you will find joy and peace
In this I can find comfort and some happiness at least
For Mummy Dearest you will always be
My Mother so loving and so loved by me
FOREVER AND A DAY

Don't cry for me...
Don't cry for me now I have died, for I'm still here I'm by your side,
My body's gone but my soul's is here, please don't shed another tear,
I am still here I'm all around, only my body lies in the ground.
I am the snowflake that kisses your nose,
I am the frost, that nips your toes.
I am the sun ,bringing you light,
I am the star, shining so bright.
I am the rain, refreshing the earth,
I am the laughter, I am the mirth.
I am the bird, up in the sky,
I am the cloud, that's drifting by.
I am the thoughts, inside your head,
While I'm still there, I can't be dead.
I'll wait for you ....
I will wait for you...
Though we never had a chance to say goodbye,
Remember me...
When winter snows are falling through a quiet sky
I'll remember you
When, in our darkest hour,
You held my hand and prayed I wouldn't go,
But a silent voice called out to me;
My time had come, and I had to travel Home...
Since then, I know your life has never been the same,
For I visit you each day:
So many times I've felt your pain:
I've watched you cry:
And I've heard you call my name...
But now, further along life's road I stand
In a timeless world, just beyond your sight,
Waiting for the day when I can take your hand and bring you across
to this land of Golden Light...
Till then, remember me, you understand-and try not to cry.
But if you do:
Let your tears fall
For the happiness and joy we knew,
And for the special love we shared,
For love can never die.
So go and run free.....
So go and run free with the angels
Dance around the golden clouds
For the lord has chosen you to be with him
And we should feel nothing but proud
Although he has taken you from us
And our pain a lifetime will last
Your memory will never escape us
But make us glad for the time we did have
Your face will always be hidden
Deep inside our hearts
Each precious moment you gave us
Shall never, ever depart
So go and run free with the angels
As they sing so tenderly
And please be sure to tell them
To take good care of you for me
Heaven
Your heart is now in heaven, amounst gods garden flowers, he must have needed an angel badly, to deprive us all of ours, As time goes on, things do change, but not our thoughts of you, remembering you is easy, we do it everyday, but missing you is the heartache, that never goes away, Our happy memories of you, are gathered up and stored away, like faded petals that retain, the fragrance of a summers day love you mum forever and a day xxx
