My Dad has three children, four grandchildren and seven great grandchildren. He also has two
brothers, the youngest Raymond is on GTS also. Dad had a devasting stroke on the 1st June 2002 and
sadly left us on the 1st September 2002, which for him was a happy release. He is missed by all of
his family and friends

19th August 2009
Its coming up to your birthday and wedding anniversary Dad and its at this time we were told by the
hospital doctors that all treatment was being withdrawn and that you would only be given palliative
care. Now was the waiting, no longer just visiting but waiting for the time that you would leave us.
Oh such long days and nights they were.

31st August 2009
This time seven years ago was to be the last day that we spent with you. You in a deep sleep and us,
waiting, just waiting. It was hot to as it is today, I have never liked late August since then. From
now until after your funeral was a complete blur to me and I remember so little of it.

10/09/2009
This day seven years ago was the day of your funeral and that was pretty much a blur apart from when
we were travelling to the crematoruim. I had the sudden'Oh no, have I shut the dining room door or
Jesse will start on the food'. Luckily I had so Jesse the cat got nothing.Apart from that I really
dont remember much, of the service or the gathering back at the house. I remember feeling half an
orphan a lot though. What to do with your ashes Dad? Mum still has them in a cupboard and we are
thinking maybe to scatter them on the River Arun, not far from where you were born. We think that
you would like that.

So go and run free with the angels
Dance around the golden clouds
For the lord has chosen you to be with him
And we should feel nothing but proud
Although he has taken you from us
And our pain a lifetime will last
Your memory will never escape us
But make us glad for the time we did have
Your face will always be hidden
Deep inside our hearts
Each precious moment you gave us
Shall never, ever depart
So go and run free with the angels
As they sing so tenderly
And please be sure to tell them
To take good care of you for me

♩♪♫♬~ Sleep Song .~♩♪♫♬

(Steven Kroll)

How far and wide the fairies fly,
On bright and golden wings.
But when they settle down to sleep,
A gentle song they sing.

Sweet Queen of Night
Soft silver stars
We're glad you are so near.
We seek of beds,
We rest our heads,
Without a moments fear.

On thistledown,
In hidden nooks,
We watch the waning light.
The joys of sleep
Upon us creep.
We wish you all goodnight…

..♥..Listen With Your Heart
Memories are like treasures
time cannot take away..♥..

..♥..So may we be surrounded
by happy ones today..♥..

..♥..May all the love and tenderness
of golden days and years well spent
Come back today to fill our hearts
with beauty and content..♥..

..♥..And may we walk down memory lane
and meet the ones we love,
For while we cannot see them,
they'll be watching from above....
So, for their sakes, be happy
and show them that their love
Has proven strong enough and big enough
to reach down from above..♥..

..♥..

LOVE AS
ALWAYS

~Light A Candle.~

light a candle,
see it glow,
watch it dance,
when you feel low,
think of me,
think of light,
I'll always be here,
day or night,
a candle flickers,
out of sight,
but in your heart,
I still burn bright,
think not of sadness,
that I'm not near,
think of gladness,
and joyous cheer,
I have not left,
I am not gone,
I'm here to stay
my little one,
so when you light a candle
and you see it glow
and you watch it dance
in your heart you'll know
that I would never leave you
even when you feel so blue
I'm sitting up here with the Lord
and now watching over you .

♥ Happy New Year Wish. ♥

My Happy New Year wish for you
Is for your best year yet,
A year where life is peaceful,
And what you want, you get.
A year in which you cherish
The past year’s memories,
And live your life each new day,
Full of bright expectancies.
I wish for you a holiday
With happiness galore;
And when it’s done, I wish you
Happy New Year, and many more.
