Christine Joyce Bodycot was born on the 12th October 1950 to Iris and the late Francis Harrison.
Christine was the eldest child. She has brothers Colin, Ivor (deceased), Brian and Darren. There is
one sister - Susan.
Christine was bought up in Braunstone and until her passing continued to live in South Braunstone.
Christine met her husband Dave when she was just 13/14 years of age. They were engaged at 16,
married at 17 and had twin boys - Dean and Lea at the age of 18. At the age of 21 her daughter
Cheryl was born. Christine was a devoted grandmother to her two grandsons - Lea and Jack and since
her passing has become a grandmother to Keira and Talia and an adopted grandmother to
"little" Jack.
For over 20 years Christine worked at Kirby House, Elderly Persons Home before being made redundant.
Shortly following her redundancy and following a bout of illness (mistakingly diagnosed as a
strained back muscle) Christine was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Following many bouts of
chemotherapy, lumber punctures and illness Christine was fortunate to "go into remission".
However, in 2000 when the dreaded disease returned, Christine decided that "enough was
enough" and made the brave decision to cease treatment.
Christine passed away at home on the 28th March 2000 with her husband at her side.
Christine was a wonderfully sensitive and caring person. Her infectious smile and laughter was one
that was remembered by so many when paying their respects to the family. Our family are so thankful
that so many people held Christine in high regard.
There are simply no words to describe the pain of losing a loved one and whilst the pain continues,
we find comfort in our memories.
My beautiful mother - I will always love you and forever miss you. My heart aches so much mum.
Meet me in my dreams. Your daughter and friend Cheryl xx.
How do I live .............
Well another year has begun and I know that is the start of another year without you. How do I live this lonely life mum. How do I carry on when my heart is so empty and feels so very broken. My smile hides a million tears and I know I will truly be happy again when we are together. I love you so much x. Keep me safe my beautiful mum.
My life, my mother .......
My dearest mum, my life, my everything. It has been some time since I have written to you but that does not mean that you are far away from my thoughts. I'm finding this life so difficult right now and my smile hides a thousand tears. I cannot accept that you are no longer with me and as I have said before those who say time is a healer, have never lost anyone as precious as you. Its almost nine long lonely years and time has not healed my broken heart at all. In fact, it has shattered into a thousand more pieces as I am no longer able to share my trials and tribulations with you. I will continue to be strong mum (well at least I will try) as I know you would wish for me to care for my beautiful daughter as you did for me. I will never stop loving you and it will take until the end of time for me to stop missing you. Walk with me forever my beautiful mum. Keep me safe and lift my spirits when I need you most. Until we meet again mum, meet me in my dreams. I love and miss you so very much that my heart aches with such sadness x.
Merry Christmas Christine
Just wanted to say "Merry Christmas" to you Christine and to all your family xx
love Rachel & Sylvia Garratt xx
My beautiful mother .....
Well, Ive finally managed to find my way around the new site that has been created. Took some time. Just because I havent written to you in a while, it does not mean for one second that you are not in my thoughts. You are the first person I think of when I wake and the last person I say goodnight to. I hope you were by our sides on Bod's birthday. It was an emotionally charged day but worth every minute. I know that he was grateful for "your" gift. So my beautiful mother, what can I say what I havent already said many times before. I miss you so much and so wish that I could see your face not just once more but for the rest of my lifetime. You were my everything mum. I love you so very much and as day passes, I take another step closer to you. As wrong as that may be, I know that I will truly be happy when we are together again. I know then that we will never be apart. Look after me mum. I need you x.
RIP Christine

Christine, you were big pals with my mum Sylvia many years ago during your youth, I can remember your huge smile when you used to come and visit for a catch up and numerous hot drinks with my mum. I can also remember you becoming ill.....I hope your family are all coping well,they certainly have wonderful memories of a wonderful mother....
All our love and thoughts Rachel - on behalf of Sylvia
My beautiful mum ...........
Well, what a week eh mum. I guess you've been close to me as I know it is your strength and guidance that has got me through. Things haven't worked out as I had planned but sometimes in life you have to take a gamble. Lets hope that this time, I've made the right decisions. I've needed you so much but I know that I wouldn't have got through without your love. Stay close to me mum and show me a sign that you walk besides me always. I love you so much and I miss you beyond words.
'Did I ever tell you, you're my hero,
You're everything I wish I could be.
And I, I can fly higher than an eagle,
With you as the wind beneath my wings'.
Simple words but very true. Whilst you are beside me mum, I know I will get through this life. Until we meet again mum, please walk beside me, guide me and meet me in my dreams.
I love you xx.
