A heart of gold stopped beating,
Two shining eyes at rest,
God broke my heart to prove,
He only took the best.
Will always be loved and missed.

There's a gift in life you cannot buy, that's very rare and true, it's the gift of a wonderful father like the one i had in you. Not a day do i forget you, In my heart your'e always near,as i loved you so i miss you as it dawns another year. Love always Cath x

For my husband in loving memory.
You were a wonderful husband from beginning to end. You made me laugh, you made me smile, and you were my companion and dear friend. You were a remarkable man in all things great and small, dependable, loving and caring. You were one in a million. It's hard to believe you are no longer here. I wish you could still be here with me. Your life showed me how good life could be. Your death showed me how cruel life sometimes is, but good or bad life has to go on even though it’s not easy to carry on. Forever will you live on in my heart and mind. Forever will you live on in my thoughts. I remember you always with fond memories. I believe we will meet again somewhere, somehow, someplace.
Love and miss you always.
Your loving wife Chris x

Grandad
You've always had a special place,
deep within my heart.
Forever there it will remain,
whether we're near or far apart.
You've always been a favourite,
to everyone you know.
You've always made me happy,
when I was feeling low.
The kind advice you gave to me,
will never be replaced.
Nothing else can ever compare,
when I see a smile upon your face.
I want you to know I love you,
and you mean the world to me.
You're the star I'll always wish upon,
the light I'll always see.
Miss you love~Jade x

A heartache a tear a memory so very clear.
Each day of my life i wish you were here.
Smiles can hide my sadness, tears are wiped away.
But the pain i have from losing you will never go away.
Always in my heart.
Your loving wife Chris.

If i could write a story
It would be the greatest ever told
Of a kind and loving father
Who had a heart of gold.
If i could write a million pages
But still be unable to say just how
Much i love and miss him
Every single day
I will remember all he taught me
I'm hurt but won't be sad because
He'll send me down the answers
And he'll always be my dad x
Its exactly a year since we lost you our very special dad. Love and miss you more than words can say

Hi Dad - avoided coming here yesterday for my own reasons - was exaclty 12 months since i last spoke to you. Your grandchildren did me proud, and helped me through the day - a little private time for reflection, sat looking at the squirels brought a smile back, followed by the tears. Love and miss ya Dad

Dad
I thought of you with love today,but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.
I think of you in silence,i often speak your name.
Now all i have is memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake,with which i'll never part.
God has you in his keeping,i have you in my heart.
Happy Father's Day Dad
Love as always ~ Cath x

God called your name so softly that only you could hear,
no one heard the footsteps of the angels drawing near.
It broke my heart to lose you but you did not go alone,
for part of me went with you the day god called you home.
Love and miss you Chris xx

What would i give to see you smile
To sit and talk with you a while
To have you here the same old way
Would be my greatest wish today.

God looked around His Garden,
And found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the Earth
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest,
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He Knew that you were suffering,
He Knew you were in pain,
He Knew that you would never
Get well on Earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So he closed your weary eyelids
And whispered " peace be thine."
It breaks are hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
Sleep tight darling, love you always.-
Your Loving Wife Chris

If tears could build a stairway
and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again.
Love Always

Been a tough 6 months Dad, not a day goes by without you being in our thoughts - time they say is a great healer, what they don't say is it's a long time - xx

To bring you to our minds
For a day withought a thought of you
Is very hard to find.

Missing You.
Tony+Dad
A face we love is missing
A voice we love is still
A place is vacant in our hearts
That no one else can fill.
A thousand words won't bring you back
We know because we've tried
And neither will a million tears
We know because we've cried.
We don't need a special date
To bring you to our minds
For a day withought a thought of you
Are very hard to find.
Your Loving Wife Chris,
Children+Grandchildren.
