Ina Wallace, taken away too soon on March 15th 2007,
a young at heart 85 years old.
You might not have been a birth mother Ina, but you still mothered so many, you were a carer to family and friends, when younger you were also a farm worker and through everything you have always been a very special and naturally strong woman.
North Bogton will never ever be the same without you, and the entire commumity will feel your loss for a long time to come. Your family, well speaking for myself, I've just lost the only "mother" I knew.
You were one of 9 children, 5 brothers all died, 3 sisters still living. Sadly no birth children of your own.
After a long illness, your heart could no longer keep going and you went to sleep forever....... you looked so peaceful as you took your place in Heaven.
No one should have had to suffer the mental anguish that you went through along with the physical pain.
Ina, although you were my aunt, you were more of a mother to me than my birth mother ever was, you never treated me as if I were different, you showed your love for me in so many ways.
You taught me more things than I can remember right now, how to cook, how to sew even how to take care of animals, through you I have a huge love for them, and so many other valuable lessons that are with me on a daily basis.
You also taught me to "treat others as I would like for them to treat me", and even although it hardly ever seems to work out like that, I still do it, even after all these years, and after all the let downs!
Ina, I cannot find the words to express what you mean to me, I told you while you were in hospital that I loved you, and you were embarrassed, you said that you knew how I felt as I had also wrote it in a card I sent, but it was important for me to tell you that you were loved.
And you never minded that I had been unable to visit for so many years, though we kept in touch through writing to each other, you never told me how bad things were, that your health was not good, and I wish you had, but you in your "I didn't want to bother you" mode as usual, stubborn pride and wanting to be independent.
There were so many people who came to visit you at the hospital, all of them spoke of how you befriended them at some time, you touched them and their lives in your own special and natural way. They all loved you. Even the nursing staff and the doctor at Turriff Community Hospital, they all said you were a very special woman and that you had touched them as well. No one could meet you and not know that you were one very special person.
I was so honoured and privileged to have known you, and although it was so sad it was also very special to me, to have been with you along with 2 of your closest frienda and neighbours, Linda and Mary, as you ceased being in so much pain. I know and believe that you will now rest and be at peace Ina. Just don't go giving Philip, Bill, Gordon, John or Andy too much of a hard time :-) you can prepare them for the rest of the "females" in the family to come along, I'm sure that Mary, Ethel and Sheila will be made welcome, should they come your way.
Ina, you will always be my aunt, my mother, my friend and my teacher and I will always love you. Not a day will go by that I don't think of you, and along with Michael you will be in my heart and on my mind, and I will be sending wraparound hugs for you both. My love always. Pam xox
Love you still and always will.
I think of you every day, but as the 9th gets closer I remember it's the anniversary of Andy's passing, hopefully I will be able to go and lay flowers on his resting place. I know he is in a better place but it breaks my heart that I didn't get to see him before he was taken to be with the Lord. Knowing you are all together is a comfort, and when my own time comes, I want to join you, so, I hope that it will be possible. God Bless you, Andy, Johnny, Bill, Gran and Grand-dad. Love you all so much. xoxoxo
I still miss Ina as much as ever, and the rest of my family too. It may look as if I want to visit the cemetery too often, but I don't, because I wish I was able to go even more than I do. Not just out of respect for the family that are gone, but to make me feel like I had family that I truly belonged to. I regret so much not visiting them while they lived, I regret letting time and issues go by without fixing them, so many regrets that wouldn't be there if only I had taken time to keep in touch.
I wonder how many people are in the same situation, we should let those we love know how we feel, and not be filled with regrets all because we let too much time go by, and then the opportunities are gone...........

Remember me in quiet days
While raindrops whisper on your pane.
But in your memories have no grief,
Let just the joy we knew remain.
✿Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿
Remember me when evening stars
Look down on you with steadfast eyes.
Remember if once you wake
To catch a glimpse of red sunrise.
✿Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿
And when your thoughts do turn to me,
Know that I would not have you cry.
But live for me and laugh for me,
When you are happy, so am I.
✿Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ✿
Remember an old joke we shared;
Remember me when spring walks by.
Think once of me when you are glad
And while you live, I shall not die.

Ina's Birthday
May 6th would have been Ina's birthday. It makes me so sad to realise that I don't think I was ever able to share that day with her, and now it's another "too late" memory that I can't forget. I know that I miss this special lady more and more with the passing of time, I will never ever forget her or stop loving her. God Bless you Ina. Love you always. Pam xoxoxxxxx
3 years today
It may be 3 years but to me it feels only like yesterday, the sadness is constantly with me, I miss Ina so much I can't explain how it feels, there are no words to describe the emptiness at having lost her and other members of the family. Each and everyone had such different characters, some would be serious, others would find fun in most things, one was such a man full of knowledge, he seemed to everything about everything, another was a traveller for many years. I loved each and every one of them very much and miss them all, all of the time.
I pray that they are all at peace in The Lords beautiful garden. Love always, Pam xoxo
Memories
I came across this fantastic Memorial to my Aunt Ina. Its great to see her memory lives on in so many others and I wonder what she would make of seeing her name on-line!!
Reading the tributes, especially ones by Pam brought back memories of summer holidays on their farm,ice cream floats, cakes and home make oatcakes for breakfast all made by Ina which was a great treat for us, and that is only mentioning a few long ago memories.
We used to also visit Uncle Gordon who lived nearby and used to make his own ice cream which tasted none too nice!!
Of course Johnny was always about working for various local companies and Andy was always about too working on the fields close by with help from Johnny and Ina at busy time.
I remember Ina always seemed to be so busy keeping house for her brothers but always had time to help with the farm and entertain all the visitors.
I never knew she was so ill, she never said and never complained and hope she did not suffer.
I also would like to mention Uncle Bill who I remember seeing at the farm years ago and his collection of 'creepy crawlie beasties' is on show for school children to see! Cannot believe so many of the family have gone in such a short space of time. Miss you all. Jxx
There is still a huge gap in my life, right where you should be, you are missed more than you could ever imagine, and having something like this website, where we can pour out our heartfelt emotions, it just helps so much. I still wish with all my heart that you could be right here. I've finally moved into the area I wanted, the same shire you lived in and that makes me so happy. It would have been ideal to have been able to visit you, but at least I can go and visit the family grave on the important dates. I will leave flowers for everyone on their anniversaries. Stay safe in The Lords caring arms forever, and keep a watch over us all. Love you always. Pam xoxoxo
for pam in memory of ina
Precious Love
The agony is so great...
and yet I will stand it.
Had I not loved so very much...
I would not hurt so much.
But God knows I would not want to diminish
that precious love...
By one fraction of an ounce.
I will hurt...
And I will be grateful for that hurt
For it bears witness to the depth of my love.
And for that I will be eternally grateful.
Missing and loving you as always
From the first week in November it is going to be so much better for me, as I will be able to visit the family grave on a regular basis. Tyler and I are moving to a different area, one much closer to where Ina used to live before passing on, and although she had left wishes for her ashes to be scattered in the Garden of Rememebrance at the Crematorium, there are other members of the family all placed together in the one grave. My grandfather, grandmother, uncle Bill, and uncle Andy, we will visit them often and include Ina in our thoughts and prayers. Never a day goes by without them being in my mind, I still love and miss them all. Pam xox
