  • Ray, it is our eldest daughter Heidi's special birthday this weekend and we are celebrating it as a family; as you would want. We all miss you terribly, but as Lily always says 'Grandad Beardy is with us everywhere and he tells God everything'.

    Our birthday tribute to Heidi........

    'Your daughter may leave your lap but never your heart'

    Today you are a beautiful young woman; who has reached that special age...

    You are amazing; you have a wonderful husband and two beautiful children.

    Your life has been a glowing tribute to your commitment and hard work.

    We are immensely proud of you and wish you a very special celebration gift...

    Happy birthday darling. Love you always and forever......

    Mum and dad xxxxxxxxxxx

  • You were my hero, my knight in shining armour;You protected me and gave me the courage to face the unknown.

    We loved and cared for each other for over 30 years,knowing that whatever came our way, we did it together.

    This has been the ‘first’ year when your voice has not been heard; your wise words, to so many, have been missed.

    Your tactile manner and being ‘you’, the special wonderful man; with arms that would hug you forever and kisses that make things go away.

    I miss our conversations, your knowledge and your listening ear; I know that you are with me everyday and I feel your presence wherever I am, but it is not the same.

    A great man, a special man; a wonderful husband, father, grandad, brother, son, uncle and good friend; taken from us all too soon.

    Love you darling, always and forever.

  • Our many 'first' anniversaries have been and gone, but your memory is still forever strong.

    It is so sad to know that we face a 'New Year' without you; but we all remember how strong you were for us at this time and how much you loved us too.

    Thank you. You mean so much to so many, that we can only look back and be very proud of you.

    I love you so very much; our last New Year's Eve, when we held each others hand knowing it was to be our last; your strength of character was unbelievable and your love for me was never in no doubt.

    Facing a New Year without you is going to be difficult, but I will always love you.

  • Mum and Heidi go to Madrid

    CoolYes we are finally going to celebrate Heidi's birthday in style by going to Madrid for a long weekend. Look out for photo's on return too.

    Its not just the missing you, its the finality of it all that is difficult to come to terms with. never hearing your voice, kiss you or holding your hand. We were a tactile couple and its hard to let that go. Only you and I can understand that special bond we had. My very special man, I was one very very lucky lady, to find my soulmate.

    As the sunrises everyday, my heart lifts with it, as it sets my love for you follows it and awaits another day......I carry your love everyday in my heart and I will never lose it.

    Lots of love darlingKiss
