Our mother - Harriet Delores Browne- sadily succumbed to her illness and passed away unexpectantly on the 4th February 2001 at St Thomas Hospital,London. Our mother was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus(SLE)at the age of 21 shortly after having her first daughter.Despite having such a disabilitating illness she lived a relatively normal life and did not allow her illness to prevent her from enjoying life, she never complained or moaned about her illness and sadily because she didnt want us to worry she hid her pain and suffered in silence - right to the very end. She has 3 children,Zoe,Jonathan and Nandi,and risked her life having her last two children,as her consultants advised her against having anymore children as the risks to her health were too great as pregnancy could result in her death, but she was determined and went against their advice - and shocked them by surviving pregnancy not only once but twice more.Our mother was an amazing,loving,generous,wife,mother,grandmother, daughter,sister and aunt who would do anything for her family. Our mother was the nucleus of our family and her death tore our family apart- there is no one that can replace her.
The pain of losing a mother can not be described in words, the pain doesnt get less or go away,you just learn to cope with it better but it is always there.
She is greatly loved and missed by her family and friends and is in our thoughts daily.R.I.P Mum we love you with all our hearts and life isn't and never will be the same without you.

Dear Mummy,
11 years have gone by and the pain hasn't eased, i wish i had as memories as Jonathan and Zoe and get so hurt and angry when i forget things.This last year in particular has been the worse for me as i have so many things i want to ask you, that only a mother would know how to respond to, time isn't so much of healer it's a distracter, words can't describe how much i miss you and need you but i'm grateful for the knowledge and wisdom passed on to me from you that God willing i'll be able to pass on to my future babies.
Love you always and forever,
Nandi x
Happy Birthday Mum
Today is your birthday if you were here you would have been 55 years old. The years just seem to be flying by and but the pain of losing you is still there and I miss you more and more each day.I remember your last birthday,I bought you a foot spa and you were so happy, as you'd been talking about getting one in the January sales.
Mum may you rest in peace, your memory will never die, I'm always telling my girls about you and they ask lots of questions about you.I heard the song 'Santa Claus is coming to town' on the TV this week and I remembered how you use to sing it me at xmas time, I still remember the words and Maliha loves when I sing it to her.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM
I love you with all my heart xxxxx

My lovely sister
It,s so sad your gone. I still remember the last time i saw and spoke with you. I came in and sat at your bed, about 15 min later you woke up and asked me how long i was there, and why i did,nt wake you up. We talk until i had to go, that night you past away. You are gone but will allways be in our thoughts.
Rest in peace Harriet I know you are still watching over your three beautiful children and you are always with them when they are sad, when they are happy.You was taken away too soon. Memories of you will live on forever. GOD ONLY TAKE AWAY THE BEST.xxx TRICIA xxx

My Beautiful Niece Harriet
I remember when I travelled with my children Kristin & Kevin to the surprise party for my sis Violet 01/93, it was such a lovely occasion and that is what I try to visualize most of all when I think of Harriet. As my name & the children were announced Violet was so shocked and jumped up out of the chair, when the shock wore off Harriet responded "Mum did not act like that when we were announced", she was loving, funny, smart & dedicated. I have so many memories of her and me growing up as my Dad always used to bring her to our home. I know she is in a better place, free from pain and heartache and we will all be together one day. My thoughts and prayers are always with Zoe, Jonathan, Nandi and my dear sister Violet. Love to all, Auntie Jeanette, Florida.
Dear mummy,
i loved all the time we shared even though it was so short i apperciate all the lessons you taught me, it seemed you knew you weren't going to be around for long and made it your duty to teach me so much without u i would of never found my love for books and english which has followed me until now you were the geatest mother i know you were so strong, wise,and told me i could achieve anything i set my head to! Mummy i needed you so much over my teenage years and i'm heartbroken you didn't make it till my 13th birthday but in a way i suppose your always with me everytime i see zoe and Jonathan i picture back to the times we all had together the fun the laughs the family i once knew although things have changed i couldn't ask for a better sister than zoe and i'm so blessed to have her and my two beautiful neices, if only you had the chance to meet Maliah she is such a character but i'm grateful you for the time we shared with Nubiah i can remember the day zoe went into labour was so excited when she was born i couldn't sleep i was so happy!! And i remember the disappointment of when i realised she couldn't actually do anything as she was a baby Lol.
i sometimes wonder if you were still here what i be like?what would are family be like? For all you have taught me i am grateful,
your daughter,
xxxxxxxxxxxxNandixxxxxxxx

She was a wonderfull nanny and gave me lots love she is the best person u can think of. lots and lots of love nanny.
You are sadly missed by all those who knew you and loved you. My thoughts in particular go out to Violet, Zoe, Nandi and Jonathan. I lost my grandad recently and the pain will never go away and my thoughts will always be with him and many others I have lost along the way. Harriet I know will be looking down on you all and smiling, for you all individually have achieved so much and I know you have done her proud. I truly believe in my heart that one day we will all meet our loved ones in heaven again. Goodnight, god bless Harriet xxxx From Caroline and family.
