Tel 01842 810534 CARTER MICHAEL FOORD Surrounded by friends Yet all alone The one I loved God has called home The hugs of friends Helps ease the pain, And I know my loss Is my loved one's gain But tears now flow Across my face, As I long for just One more embrace Then comfort comes And I see Christ's face, He hugs my loved one And I feel God's grace. -Your ever-loving Ida. CARTER MICHAEL FOORD As I look back over time, I find myself wondering, did I remember to thank you enough for all you have done for me. For all the times you were by my side, to help and support me. To celebrate my successes. To understand my problems and accept my defeats or for teaching me by your example, the value of hard work, good judgement, courage and integrity. I wonder if I ever thanked you enough times for the sacrifices you made to let me have the very best and the simple things like laughter, smiles and the times we shared. If I have forgotten to show my gratitude enough for all the things you did, I am truly sorry. While you were poorly this last 12 months I have told you many times that I love you to bits. Thank you Dad for being my dad and I am so sorry I wasn't there for you at the end. Please forgive me. -Your loving daughter Jan x Grandad, you were an amazing, hardworking man who was an inspiration to so many... I'm so proud to be able to call you my Grandad. -Love from Michelle and Marc x x A Grandad that was respected wherever he went. You will never be forgotten. Farewell Grandad. -Love, Dave x
