Noreen Pepper wife of the late John Pepper passed away 11/11/07 at 04.45am aged 64. She lived with
her partner joey in a little bungalow in Thrybergh. Rotherham, south yorkshire. She leaves behind 4
Daughters, Karen (me) Julie, Susan and joanne, she also leaves 3 brothers, Pete, Dave and Ken and 2
sisters Dawn and Gill. She had lots of grandchildren and great grandchildren.

My mother had breast cancer and had had a mastectomy, they then found that she had had bone cancer
in her spine, for which she was having radiotherapy, and was waiting to have chemotherapy. On Monday
5th November she was admitted to Rotherham general Hospital to sort out her pain, i spoke to her a
couple of times on the phone, and she said she was feeling much better. On friday 9/11/07 i spoke to
the hospital who told me my mother had deterioated ands that i ought to go through, following
conversations with my aunty, i went through there, i spoke to the consultant who said it was not the
cancer that was causing these problems (it was her breathing) her imediate family sat with her until
the small hours of saturday morning, she had come round a little and was talking to us, i went home
at 1.30am to let her rest, next morning i went back, and she was in obvious pain, the nursing staff
sorted this and she slept most of the day, at 18.30 i went home because she was sleeping peacefully
and it had been a uneventful day, we were playing the waiting game (sounds awful but its true) i
left messages that if there was any further deteriation i should be contacted immediatly. At 3am
sunday morning my phone went, we rushed back to the hospital, my mother died peacefully at 4.45am
that morning.

what i havent said already is that until 4 months before her death, my mother and myself had been
estranged for about 3 and a half years, for reasons i wont go into here, there is a moral to my
story, no matter what no matter how or why, try to make up with the people who you care about, for
once they have gone you cannot do it, i have suffered great guilt for this past week, im hurting
too, They say time is a great healer, for that i will have to wait and see.

" I always say the past is dust. By thinking of it and brooding over it we cannot change the
past or free ourselves from guilt. If we have done something wrong, it is past. Let us think of the
immediate future and allow it to grow into the immediacy of today. "



Rest in Peace Mum now your back with your mum and dad, your husband john, your own children that
went before you, and all other people who have passed away. xxxxxxx

rest in peace noreen

god looked around his garden
and found an empty place
then he looked down upon this earth
and saw your tired face
he put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest
god's garden must be beautiful
he only takes the best
