Happy Birthday Dad

I realized today that time is not something we have on earth, it is saved for those precious moments in heaven. Your dreams have been fulfilled. You loved, learned, created a family and a home, taught, shared music and had many friends. This is how time should be spent. Now, along with mom, is the time to spend watching down over all that you have started. Now is the time to spend eternally, in a wonderful, peaceful place where you can be together always.

Until we meet again, we hold you in our hearts.

Dear Tessier Family, I had the opportunity to have worked with George many years ago. He was a good and fair man and always enjoyed a good laugh. I was lucky to hear him play his guitar a few times and when I needed a letter of reference, for the job I currently hold, he was more than kind to do so.
My deepest condolences, George will always be in my favorite memories.

January 9, 2010

Dear Grandpa,

I miss you everday. I miss your strong arms, your luving hands. I always felt so safe when you hugged me.I talk to you everynight and fallasleep to the sound of your voice. I love you Grandpa,forever and always.

Love your Dolly, Cheyenne

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

One year has passed since you left this earth and I'm sure heaven has welcomed you with gladness.

Your smile never leaves our memories dad - we miss you and we long to hear your voice. We feel that you are near and watch over us with love and care. Like an angel. Mom is awaiting the day that you two will be together again.

Watch over all of your family please dad and help us to follow in your footsteps. We love and miss you dearly.

Last words,... what is there left to say.
We will all live on and cherish every memory of you.
I know you are still with me everyday, in everything I do.
I will live my life and carry on, but the sadness never fades.
I know now that the best place for you, is the one that God made.
Love Annette

You left us 6 months ago today and it still hurts like it was only yesterday. We remember that warm smile and distinctive wink, the strong hugs and the times shared. These, we will treasure forever. We will say our last goodbyes as we bury you on Friday and pray that your soul has reached it's destiny. You are among the angels now and your music will live on in heaven. We love you and miss you greatly.

Not, how did he die, but how did he live?
Not, what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not what was his church, nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he passed away?

If Tears Could Build A Stairway

If tears could build a stairway
And memories were a lane
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
And only God knows why.
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow,
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now we know you want us,
to mourn for you no more,
To remember all the happy times,
life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten, we
pledge to you today, a hallow
place within our hearts.

Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there... I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow...
I am the diamond glints on snow...
I am the sunlight on ripened grain...
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you waken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of gentle birds in circling flight...
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry—
I am not there... I did not die...

We lost you just one month ago today. I still have a hard time believing that you are gone. I expect to see your smile and wink every time I head to Fallowfield.
If I did not say it enough - you were a perfect father, grandfather, greatgrandfather and a wonderful husband to mom. We miss you desperately, but know that you are in the best place now.

He always kept me warm when I was cold
He always had a hug for me when I was sad
He always kept me laughing with the best jokes
He was always there when I needed him most.
He was never afraid to say that he
loved us, and we loved him right back.
His music will live on through his children.
I will miss him dearly
Till we meet again Dad
All my love

Eleven years ago, my life changed for the better. I had the honour and priveledge to enter into the Tessier Family. Dad was a guardian angel even in the beginning.

Thank you Georges for your words, your heart, your strength,unconditional love and the support that you have given to me over the years. Both you and Mom have taught me what being a true family is all about.

I will follow in the advice and guidance you gave to me till my time comes to meet you once again.

With a heavy heart, but your song that lifts it at the same time....

All my love,

Dear Susan,
So sorry if I have the wrong family. I did not think there were that many Vincent Tessier around the area. When I read the guest book I saw another one from a Hodges in Cumberland. I was never really sure where the Tessier's lived. I knew the milk truck was not from Cumberland. I was a kid at the time. We are going back here 50 years. The father presumed (Georges) and Vincent drove through the village of Cumberland delivering milk from door to door at that time, when there was delivery at that time. I am not sure where the truck came from nor am I even sure where Fallowfield is. If I knew how old your brother Vincent is, I could probably tell if I have the right family. I myself will turn 65 this July. Vincent did not drive the truck he was the runner. Vincent could have been younger than me. When your younge it makes it difficult to tell the age. I am talking the late 50's. I remember he did make a few trips to Cumberland on a Saturday night to skate in the old area. We did skate together a few times. I would be curious to know if I have the right Vincent Tessier. I remember Vincent like it was yesterday.

COME TO ME
God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be, so He put his arms around you and whispered, “Come to Me.” With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away, and although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

So sorry to hear about the death of your father. If I am correct he delivered milk in the village of Cumberland. We lived in the brown brick sided house at the foot of the hill just off old 17 behind Burndts service station. I had a large crush on you and thought you looked like Elivis. This is just background info to tweek your memory of who I am. My sincere sympathy. I lost my father when I was 18. His name was Percy Tierney.

My grandpa was a holy man,
My grandpa loved me,
My grandpa had 10 kids that loved him,
My grandpa is in me,
My grandpa had a very loving wife named Peggy,
My grandpa loved her so,
My grandpa is now in heaven,
God his soul.

I miss and love you grandpa, love cheyenne

Goodbye Georges.
To a man well loved and a life well lived.
You will be deeply missed at St Pat’s.
Our Lord gave you a smile that lit up the church, and a voice to sing and entertain us, with Peggy at your side at our many functions.
I am sure Our Lord’s first words were “Well done good and faithful servant.”
Rest in peace Georges.
