Ena Louise Walder (Savage)
Passed over 3rd November 1985 Aged 74.
Originally from Croydon but moved to Bognor during the war with her young family when she was
married to Richard Savage.
After being widowed in 1966 when Grandad died of Cancer she later became a house keeper for a Mr
Walder in Chchester & later married him only he didn't live very much longer. The cottage they
shared holds many memories for me as a kid.
Nan lived at the cottage until she fell very ill in 1985 & was then moved into a residental care
home in felpham, Bognor.
This is where she spent her last few months.
Nan was a mother of 3. 1 son & 2 daughters. Her youngest daughter Violet being my mother born 1940.
She had 5 grandchildren & sadly never hung on to meet her first Great-grandchild Amy who was born
some 7 weeks later!
Nan was a kind lady who would visit us frequently & who helped mum alot with us kids. One of my fav
memories of her is POLO'S!!! She always came to visit with a packet of Polo's each! They became my
fav sweets! Nan had beautiful hair when she got older...it was pure white!!!
My mum always said that when she got old she hoped she'd inherit the white hair rather than go
grey....sadly my mum never grew old enough as she passed over from Cancer aged just 55 in 1996.
My nan was a terrible cook & when we went to visit her she would send my older brothers to the fish
n chip shop just down the lane from her house to get our tea rather than feed us her ghastly
attempts of home cooking!!!
We spent many happy times at Nanny's.
I visited her a few days before she passed over & she was a little confused about the new baby
arriving soon...she thought it was me who was pregnant as i had got married the year before BUT it
was in fact my sister!!!
I do know though that she is with her beloved first husband (my grandad) Dick Savage as she sat in
her bed waving to the corner of her room...when mum asked her what she was doing she said...i'm
waving to your dad! He's calling to me!!! He's over there...pointing to that very corner!
A few days later she passed over peacefully.
My mum was comforted to know that her parents were together in death.
I miss my Nan & everytime we drive past her old cottage i point it out to my children & talk about
her...keeping her memory alive!
God bless you nan...mum is with you both now too as is my sweet baby Angel Kimberley born with Angel
wings 14/9/90.
Take care of each other....'til we all meet again some day. xxxxxx
Two Twinkling Stars ~~~~
I Looked Up To The Sky Last Night
And Saw Two Twinkling Stars,
I Thought About The Distance
Of Jupiter And Mars.
I Thought How Far Was Heaven
Was It Further Than These Two
I Wondered Just How Far It Was
To Gods Garden And To You.
I Know One Day I'll Find Out
Just How Far I'll Need To Travel
I Know That God One Day For Me
This Mystery Will Unravel
Until That Day I'll Miss You
Every Hour That I Live Through
I'll Miss You Till The Day Comes
When I'll Finally Be With You.

A LETTER FROM HEAVEN...
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, 'I welcome you.'
'It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on.
I need you here so badly, you are part of my plan.
There is so much that we can do, to help our mortal man.'
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you.... in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who is in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night....'My day was not in vain.
And now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.'
So if you meet somebody who is sad and low;
Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go....
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going....
you're coming here to be with me Xxxxxx
In Sympathy
So sorry for your loss. Your story has touched my heart. My nan passed away in July and it feels like my whole world has been taken away. My thoughts are with you. God bless. I hope you find this poem of comfort, as I have done. x
What is Dying?
A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says 'She is gone'.
Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout 'There she comes!'
That is what dying is. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.
Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.
My Nanny.
Chose today to make this page for you Nan coz memories are flowing of 23 years ago...the day i married Des.
You were so proud that day & told everyone so.
You happily posed for photo's with us & i'm so glad you saw me get married...you never got to see the others.
just over a year later you passed away...too soon to meet your 1st great grandchild by my sister Julie.
Remembering you today with affection. Miss you nanny. xxx
