Marie Jeanne was loving, kind, and generous above all else. Her love reached far and wide, always ready to help especially those she loved. In the spirit of Mary please continue helping others, as she so often did. She will be greatly missed by many, but no one will miss her more than her loving husband, Gerd.

My Baby Moonbeam. You were to be my June baby born to the moonstone. I loved you since I found out you were growing inside me. Know that I did everything I could to save you. I love you so much.
When the doctor said you weren't going to live my heart sank. I your mother (Angela Berkey) can take some solace in knowing that a part of you will always be with me. You are to be in heaven now with your Grandma Mimi and our other relatives that made the journey ahead of you. Know that they will love and play with you in the ways that I can't.

Margaret was born in Stoke on Trent and was sister to Cyril, Reg and Len, all of whom predeceased her. She grew up in the Potteries, where she met Ron Collier. They were married and eventually moved to Crewe, where they raised their four children, Jill, Roger, Geoff and Pam.
Margaret loved to be involved with local groups and organisations. She was an active member of the Parent Teachers Association. Over the years she has belonged to the U3A, Townswomen’s Guild, over 45’s and latterly, the local History Group.
Gardening and photography were two of her biggest loves. Her gardens were often admired and she loved to travel around the UK visiting many of the beautiful public gardens.
Unfortunately, Margaret was widowed at 47. She did however go on later in life to find happiness again with Tony Bloss, with whom she was married, until his untimely death just a few years after they found each other.
Margaret had been living with Cancer for 10 years and managed to keep active for the most part, with help from Family and neighbors and friends. A big thank you to the staff at the Leighton Hospital Macmillan Centre who have been supportive throughout. This year, however, was a challenge. It is a testament to her character that despite a broken hip and Covid she made it to 88 years before succumbing. RIP Mum.

To best describe my mother, i will borrow these words from elsewhere;
Mum was that woman who was able to stand up for herself. She did not need to hide behind anyone. She believed that if you have problems, as a woman you deal with them, you don't play victim, you don't make yourself look pitiful, you don't point fingers. You stand and you deal. You face the world with a head held high and you carry the universe in your heart!
There are simply so many ways to describe mum yet they are also not enough to describe the worthy person that she was to those that knew her.
Mum was that special woman who sacrificed many precious moments in her life, so that we could have them in ours; and i am not just talking of her children but even those who she took under her wing and raised them as her own.
Forever we shall be grateful that we had an Angel that was sent to us in form of our mother.
You were always happy even in pain and you were strong in all challenges including in facing the cancer that afflicted you. In all moments, you always smiled and wanted all around you to be as happy and cheerful.
Your grand children still yearn for your presence because with you, they knew life was beautiful.
You are Always Loved; Never Forgotten; Forever Missed.

Mum's life journey can be summed up in this verse;
“Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.”
Proverbs 3: 17

Levi has several meanings but Hero is the one that stands out to us. He was our Hero in so many ways. The doctors did not have much hope but his parents did. They were told prior to birth that he may not have fully developed lungs on top of his kidney diagnosis, and that his survival was uncertain. What they didn’t know was how many people were in his corner and how many prayers were being lifted for our Levi. He had so many cheerleaders before he was born. His birth was a miracle and the doctors were amazed. He worked through so much adversity and always prevailed. From the day he arrived he taught our family what true stength was. His smile would light up a room. No matter what was happening in his life he would always find a way to smile. He was so strong. What a joy he was to have in our family and we are all better because of him. To know him was to love him. This is going to be hard but although we are so sad, we are extremely grateful for the time we had. We were able to love him and kiss and hug him for 16 months. He had alot of struggles and a rough road ahead of him so God decided it was his time. Our hearts are broken but our faith is not. We know he is in the best place and was greeted in heaven by his grandparents. Thank you Levi for letting us all love you and teaching us so much in the time you spent with us. You were and will always be our joy!

For those of you who would like to show love to the family we have something really special planned. In Lieu of flowers we have set up a venmo account to start a fund to create something very special for the Fereira family. We will be working with Externeva to create a diamond out of Levi’s ashes. A ring will be designed for Jessica and a cross for Kendrick to keep him close to them always. We want to memorialize him in the best way and make sure that he stays close to mommy and daddy forever. He will always be with them.

Thank you so much for the support and well wishes.

Please join us to celebrate
a life of LOVE and MERRIMENT
