Mary Kanaki
5th Aug 1960/ 8th June 2007
Fantastic Mum and best friend we ever will have what an inspiration my mum was to everyone that knew her......
Our mum passed away on the 8th june 2007 aged 46 mum after long battle of cancer.
Mum was from scotland carntyne glasgow where she was raised by her dad my Grandad George smith , 9 yrs ago Mum moved to plymouth where we all lived here.
DAUGHTER of George Smith
MUM to Amanda ,Ellena,Sophia & Demo.
BEST GRANDMOTHER to Nicholas Kanaki Baker and Theo Kanaki Baker only 2 grankids...
FANTASTIIC and funny mother in law to Robin and Andy
Mum had step children Claire ,Jo, Malcolm and Micheal...
SISTER to 5 Brothers and 2 Sisters Scott ,George, Jim ,Barry ,Step Brother Willy ,Sister Isabell and Step Sister sue ,Sister in-laws, Brother in -laws
FAB AUNTIE to all her nieces and nephews.
BEST FRIENDS to Mo,Ellen,Wilma,Marie,Debbie and many more friends.
This is how it all started : Mum was taken ill on 25 May 2004 after complaining for 2 yrs before with same pains every month in and out of hospital for 24 months and all we got is she had IBS but while i was pregnant with my little boy on the 25th of may we got told the worst news anyone could ever tell her kids cause thats what we lived for our mum and mum lived for us we are so close and we never thought we could of taken what the doc told us we got told she had so many months left to live then she suprised us all and fought the cancer for 3 yrs until the end she still fought hard but on the 8th June lost the battle ....
Mum was very close to her brother Scott and all the rest of the Brothers and Sisters but Scott the closest kept the promise he made to mum and was for him to stay strong for her kids and keep the rest of the family in line but make sure her kids come first.
My mum fought very long time she kept goin cause she lived for her Kids and Granson she was FANTASTIC mum and Gran to Nicholas her baby boy ... Mum had a lot of friends she touched a lot of hearts as she was that type of person she would always make sure everyone was ok she was best friends with Mo , Ellen,Wilma & Marie but marie passed away 14th may 2006 so now part of that friendship is joined again.Also before mum starting to losing the battle and become poorly she contacted a long lost friend that was very dear to her and this is Debbie who had promised mum to keep in touch and we will.

You are such an amazing mum / gran
My Life changed, the very moment I found out
That you had passed away.
I couldn't stop it; there was nothing I could say.
You've touched my life so deeply to a point you will never know,
I try to think about you when I am feeling down and low.
Sometimes when my day gets hard
I will think about your beautiful smile
and if I listen hard enough I will hear your voice after a while.
It's you who give me a reason to go on with my day,
and now if I want to see you I'll bow my head and pray.
I catch myself looking for you still,
In the halls and at your front door,
but when I call your name there is no reply any more!
I never thought a day would come where we would be apart,
God has you in his keepings, we have you in our hearts.
Life will go on, but never will be the same,
your beautiful smile is gone, but it will always remain.
You're our angel from up above.
You'll always be missed, but most importantly... loved.
Just one more minute, God, is all I ask- why can't you give them back;
it seems like such a simple task.
I guess people are right when they say God only takes the best,
I know enough now that you're peacefully at rest xx
