This site is dedicated to the memory of Betty Gilmore.
Our mum passed away unexpectedly on 20th March 2014 from bacterial meningitis. This came as a terrible blow to the whole family. We want to celebrate her life remember the good times and raise money for vital research in her memory.
She was born on the 25th March 1932 and married Billy and had four children Billy, Lorraine, Karen and Deborah.
She was always fit and healthy and lived life to the full. A strong independent woman with a great sense of humour who loved to dance. Always on the go she danced twice a week and was always in the town shopping.
She will be sorely missed by family and friends. Mum always in our thoughts, forever in our hearts xx
Remember Me
Do not shed tears when I have gone but smile instead because I have lived.
Do not shut your eyes and pray to God that I'll come back but open your eyes and see all that I have left behind.
I know your heart will be empty because you cannot see me but still I want you to be full of the love we shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live only for yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of what happened between us yesterday.
You can remember me and grieve that I have gone or you can cherish my memory and let it live on.
You can cry and lose yourself, become distraught and turn your back on the world or you can do what I want - smile, wipe away the tears, learn to love again and go on.
