Winnie Hunter died on the 25th March 2005 aged 60. She lived in Musselburgh with her husband Johnny, her Mum, who she cared for and her son. Her Mum Annie, moved in with her other daughter, Ellen when my Nana went into hospital. Sadly 2 years later her Mum also passed away, so they are now together again.
Winnie was a wonderful Mum to Julie, Donna and Craig. She was a fantastic Nana to Chris, myself, Danielle and Aaron. She also had two sisters the late Dot, and Ellen, and two brothers George and Alec.
My Nana fell ill in March 2005 and after an xray we sadly discovered that she had advanced lung cancer. She started to have radiotherapy, as well as an operation to have a stent put in her neck. She was told that with the treatment, we maybe had another year together.
Unfortunately, she bacame very ill with pneumonia on Friday 25th March. We were going to visit her that day, as it was Good Friday. All of the family were in to visit her, and sadly at around 5.30pm that evening, she passed away in her sleep. It was as if she had hung on until everyone had got there. It was the most difficult thing ever to watch.
My Nana was one of the most caring people I know. She was always caring for others, and doing whatever she could to help. She cared for her Mum for about 22 years. She was a fantastic person.
Nana you are really missed by everyone, you are always in our hearts and in our thought.
Gone, but never ever forgotton.

5 Years :(
Hi Nana,
I can't really believe that on this day 5 years ago, we were so looking forward to coming to the hospital to visit you. I had bought you a cute little teddy in a flower pot... I still have that.
I never got to give it to you :( When we arrived at the hospital, you were too poorly.
Really can't believe that its been 5 years. I think about you all the time. Just little things, like wishing you were here, wishing you could see the kids.
Daniel always looks at the sky, finds the biggest brightest star, and says 'theres Nana Hunter'
Love you xxxxxxxxxxx

Thinking of you as always,

Thinking of you
Hi Nana,
Just sitting here thinking of everything thats going on at the moment, and how much you would love to be here. I'm having my baby girl 5 weeks today, by c-section... i'm going to need you there looking after us!!
And Chris and Kerry are due a wee baby in August! Never thought I'd see the day! Wish you were here xxxxxxxxxx
4 years today :(
Hi Nana,
really can't believe its been 4 years since we lost you. I miss you so much, always will.
I visited the cemetry on Sunday with Daniel, he was chatting away to you, and blowing kisses to your picture.
I'm sure you already know, but we found out our baby is a girl! not long to go now, only 16 weeks. I know you'll be here to meet her though.
Miss you so much, lots of love
Leanne xxxxxxxxx
we all miss you so much
Hi Nana,
Well, here we are, 3 days away from Christmas. Another Christmas without you. I don't think it will ever get easier.
I remember all the Christmas's spent at your house, when you used to hand all the presents out and we had to open them in age order! Poor Nana Dick had to wait forever to open hers!!
I will be thinking about you, on Christmas day, as I'm sure everyone will be.
We all miss you so much xxxxxx
Hi mum, i don't often get the chance to use a computer so now that i have i just wanted to put my own tribute on this great page which Leanne set up in memory of you. She has done a fantastic job with photos, messages and even Unforgetable by Nat King Cole playing in the background. There's not a day goes by that i don't think about you, miss you and hurt so bad that you're not here. There's so many things i wish for- i can't list them all here. I wish that you and kerry got the chance to meet each other- i know you would have thought the world of her. I wish we could've gone one final holiday together to Palma Nova with the rest of the family. As yet another Christmas approaches without you it's so hard mum. You loved your christmases and it's not the same. I don't think i'm the same person since we lost you, i can be moody, get angry quite easily, and i'm pretty insecure. I just get frustated as to why you had to be taken from us. I try my best to put a brave face on. I know it's not easy for anyone else either. You were in my heart from the day i was born mum and you always will be. I love you just as much and more every single day. Don't Close Your Eyes Tonight, Just Look At Me And See How Many Times I've Cried For You. You know that song mum- what i would give to sing it to you now. Goodnight my angel, speak to you soon. xxx
In Sympathy
So sorry for your loss. My nan passed away last year 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.
