Deborah Anne Bassett, passed away on the 8th of December 2006 at Peterborough District Hospital. Died aged 43 years. Before she was married, she trained as a dental nurse and resumed this position after the birth of her two children, Chad who was born on the 11th of April 1987 and Leah on the 4th of November 1988.
Debbie's childhood was spent in her hometown of Yaxley, with her mum Jennie, her father Peter and her much loved brother Steven. After her marriage in 1986, she moved to Wisbech the home of her new husband, Fred Bassett. Although the two separated, Fred remained a close father and Debbie was fortunate to find happiness with a new partner, Pat Gracey. They remained together until the end, and he was a continuous support system and devoted partner to my mother.
Sadly on the 30th of December 2005 Debbie was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia, and died less than a year later.
My mum was the most amazing woman I knew, and am ever likely to know. She never gave up on life despite the long and hard battle. She adored both myself and my brother, and was a fanastic mum. I am so proud of her, an will love her always and forever. xxxx
The day of her funeral was a day I will never forget, and the one thing that made me cry the most was hearing the song that is playing now, despite the fact I had never listened to it from start to finish before. The words just seem to make more sense now, than they ever had before. I read a speech in front of everyone, and this is what I said , " Every mum is special and any daughter standing here would feel the same way. But I will never forget my mum as being the bravest women I knew. The courage, strength and determination she showed just to spend a little more time with the people she loved the most, will stick in my memory forever.
From the day my mum was diagnosed up until her last few days she remained positive, which showed a great strength of charcter. A strength I'm not sure I could possess if faced with the same situation. She rarely cried about her illness, and even at the end of it all she still managed to laugh - at me quite a lot of the time! And what a laugh it was to!
Not only was she an outstanding mother, but a devoted partner to Pat, a much loved daughter of Jennie and Peter and sister of Steven. Not forgetting an important friend and colleague to many.
Everyone siting here today who knew my mum, I can honestly say your lives have been touched by a truely special person.
She was my best friend as well as my mother and I will love and miss her always. If I grow up to be half the woman and mother she was, I will have achieved something truely amazing and I hope I make her proud."
Every word I said that day I meant and still do, I think about her every day and will never stop missing her smile, the way she laughed or even the smell of her perfume. Love you mum x x x x
Debbie
Debbie was was the most caring, true, honest person I have ever known
I knew her from the age of 15 to 24yrs of age
We shared many things and I was always amazed at the zest for life she held
It truly hurts that I have learned she has passed away,
she was and always will be one of the brightest stars that sit in the night sky

sleep tight x god bless
We go through life so often
Not stopping to enjoy the day,
And we take each one for granted
As we travel on our way.
We never stop to measure
Anything we just might miss,
But if the wind should blow by softly
You'll feel an Angel's Kiss
A kiss that is sent from Heaven
A kiss from up above,
A kiss that is very special
From someone that you love.
For in your pain and sorrow
An Angels kiss will help you through,
This kiss is very private
For it is meant for only you.
So when your hearts are heavy
And filled with tears and pain,
And no one can console you
Remember once again
About the ones you grieve for
Because you sadly miss
And the gentle breeze
You took for granted
Was just - An Angel's Kiss
So Sorry For You Loss
Leah & Family-I found these words and placed them on my mum's site, they seem quite fitting for you also....
In the quietness of this place I think of her with the love and understanding that still join us together.
I remember her goodness and the blessings I received through her. Her memory is precious to me and is always with me.
May her memory continue to strengthen me and guide me. Because life is short, let me fill it with acts of goodness, let me be broader in my sympathies, and purer in my motives.
Help me to learn the meaning and value of life. Help me to know that goodness is not in vain, and the grave is not the end.
The heavens are high above the earth, yet your strength surronds your love ones to protect them, for with you are light, comfort and peace
