This is for the memory of my Gran Heather Riddock (nee McIntyre) who passed away on the 25 nov 2007 aged 65 she worked as a kitchen porter at sunnyside hospital and a cleaner at montrose academy.
She lived in Montrose most of her days but before moving to Montrose she lived in Laurencekirk with her mum, brothers Hugh and Joe and sister Hillary, before she met her husband Donald Riddock and having four children Pat, Catherine, Willie and Dawn and her 10 grandchildren Scott, Cherie, Amanda, Dawn, Lee, James, Donald, Craig, sam and Terri and her two greatgrandchildren Heather-Anne, Jaden and one on the way.
She liked nothing better than having her family beside her at all times especially at dinner times aka Heather's cafe she made the best tattie soup! If you needed fed you knew where to go she always made you feel welcome with a cup of tea or coffee and a cake. And was always their if you needed someone to talk to or you had a problem with your health she would make you go to the doctor but she would never go herself .
After a three year battle with lung cancer and getting told at the start she only had six months to live she fought! "I'm not going to give in to this" she said, "too much ill to do yet to keep me going" and she never, as well as having heart trouble she just kept going nothing could stop her, she seen her two greatgrandchildren which she thought she would never see. Near the end the cancer started to take its toll and she passed away in her husbands arms she got her wish she wanted to die at home.

simply the best mum in the world love you infinity xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I was deeply touched by your memory.I too lost my mum in October 9th 2007.When you mentioned tattie soup, cakes , welcoming abody -Yes exactly the same here. Mum would have been 87 on the 13th April. She had 7 girls and 1 boy.A hard life bringing us all up but how lucky we all were to have her for that long.By the way on her 80th birthday along with the staff of Sunnyside (occupational)we arranged a surprise visit for to return to the hospital after 60 years of working there as a nurse 1941. She knew nothing about it until Nurse Parrot collected her from the car.It was just lovely and I bet your mum was there also when we were there.It made her day to go back to a place she had so much happy memories.We were treated like VIPS.All I can is arent we so lucky to have had such wonderful mums. So much happy memories- Keep Smiling!!
Now that your gone!
Never thought that I would miss you so much. The world is just not the same without you. Everyone still goes to GRAN's. Just have to look forward to visiting the cemetery and giving your face a wash and tidy the flowers. I'm just very glad that I got to know you. Miss you deeply.XXX
