  • BIRTHDAY WISHES 1st October

    Today would have been your 85th birthday Dad.

    No card to give

    no face to kiss

    just loving thoughts

    of the Dad I miss.

    If tears could build a stairway

    and memories a lane

    I'd walk right up to Heaven

    and bring you home again.

    I love you Dad and miss you and Mum so much.

    All our love to you both

    Ann & Steve

  • GRANDAD God saw you getting tired,
    And a cure was not to be,
    So He put His arms around you
    And whispered “Come with Me”.
    With tearful eyes we held your hand
    and saw you pass away.
    Although we loved you dearly,
    We could not make you stay.
    As a strong Golden Heart stopped beating,
    Hard working hands made to rest,
    God broke our hearts to prove to us,
    He only takes the best

    LOVE AND MISS YOU AND NAN SO MUCH

    THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING

    Though his smile is gone forever

    and his hand I cannot touch,

    I still have so many memories

    of the Dad I loved so much.

    His memory is my keepsake

    with which I'll never part,

    God has him in his keeping

    I have him in my heart.

    Love and miss you and Mum so much.

    Sleep tight.

    All our love,

    Ann & Steve

    I wish that I could sit with you

    if only for a while,

    to laugh and joke the way we did

    and see that lovely smile.

  • ONE WHOLE YEAR.

    7th December 2010.

    Dad, I can't believe I haven't seen you for a whole year, itjust seems like yesterday that you left us to be with Mum, the pain is still there, just as bad as it was on that awful day.

    So much has happened in our lives, we wish we could just come and talk to you.

    We miss you both so much, but we all know that you are together again and that's all you ever wanted.

    We know you are both watching over us, (thank you for all the little reminders)

    you were the worlds best Mum & Dad, Nan & Gramps, Great Nan & Great Gramps

    With all our love forever and a day,

    your ever loving family

    God bless you both

    XXXXXXX
