My John was a beautiful man inside and out.He loved music,snooker,dancing, his family and friends
but most of all life.When he was told he had bowel cancer 8 years ago he did not give in to it he
just carried on had his operation to remove the tumour then went for chemo,which he hated but did
not moan about because he wanted to live so much.The cancer returned 4 years ago in his lungs,that
did not stop him enjoying life he just carried on as normal,still went for a pint with his
friends,went to Skeg for all his holidays to our caravan which he loved.He made a lot of friends at
the city hospital oncology clinic which he was calling his second home.The only moan he had over the
years was when he had to start having injections every day to thin his blood because of blood clots
in his leg.In the last 2 years of his life he had a lot of illness and the cancer returned in is
bowels which was removed again.He took ill again in November with a massive bleed on the brain,this
time the illness beat him and he died peacefully in the City hospitals hospice Hayward House.I would
like to thank all the staff of Hayward House and all the staff at the oncology clinic for the
fantastic care and friendship you gave John he loved you all.A special thank you to Dr Wilcock,Dr
Potter and her team,Carol,Tracey and all the girls,THANK YOU.I will miss you and love you for the
rest of my life John,thank you for being my partner and my love for so many years.LOVE YOU FOREVER.
PS. He did have a big moan in his life he hated waiting,whether it was for treatment,trains,buses
whatever he hated waiting.


In Loving Memory Of My Dad, My Hero, My Friend.

Dad, you were my hero
from beginning to the end.
I admired with much love
and respect.

Dad, you were a remarkable man
In all things great and small..
Dependable, loving and caring.
You one in a million.

Dad you were a perfect man
At least you were to me..
And whatever faults you might have had,
My eyes could never see.

Dad, you were my teacher
What a brilliant mind you had..
You taught many things,
that endure forever more in my heart.

Dad, you've passed on to the other side
Though I wish you could be here with me..
You're irreplaceable and unforgettable
The best dad there could ever be.

With love always, I remember you,
With fond memories, I think of you..
With hope I believe we'll meet again.
Rest in Peace, Dear Dad, Always.
By Yvonne L.
From Kerrie.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For John from Carol
I wish that I could see you
Just for one more day
Hold you close to my heart
And never let you slip away

I wish that I could kiss you
And say all I want to say
I'm hurting now John
Since you went away

There will never be another
Not like my dear John
I miss him like no other
Now that he is gone

how do we

♥ ★ ♥ ★ ♥ ★ ♥ ★ ♥ ★ ♥

How do we convey
Just how we feel
When we lose someone we love?
How do we explain
The deep, lonely pain
The emptiness left in us?

No words can express
The hurt and anguish
Nor touch on how we feel
God shares our tears
And gives us His love
And He, in time, will heal

The hopes and the dreams
We had just remains
Like an unfinished book of their life
As an incomplete chapter
Remains unfinished
With nothing more to write

But we can know God’s comfort
And know there is hope
With a new chapter to begin
We can hold on to God
For He loves us so much
And fills the void within

As we close one chapter
Another can begin
Though the one we love has gone
Through Christ’s strength in us
And hope in our hearts
We find courage to carry on

Angels Blessing
♥****♥****♥****♥****♥

An Angel blessing just for you
To pick you up when you feel blue
To love you and to guide you
Angel stars they shine so bright
For they are with us always
Until dawns first light
They sprinkle us with Angel dust
To let us know theyre near
Then shower us with kisses
To wipe away a tear
For Angels never leave us
Although we had to part
I KNOW
Because their footprints
Are stamped here on my ♥HEART ♥

I know I am still with you
in your prayers, your thoughts, your heart
And though you cannot see me,
I will always be a part
of life's sweet celebrations
in those times when you reflect
on how, though things are different,
through our love, we still connect.
We'll see each other someday
when our spirits all are free,
until then, I am with you
because you remember me.

SWEET DREAMS BEAUTIFUL ANGEL.XxX

I can still watch you
So please don't cry,
I'm not in a grave
I'm with God On High.

I'll be watching in the morning
At the first crack of light,
I'll be sneaking a kiss
In the middle of the night.

When you think of me
I'll be there,
I'll see your tears
I know you care.

I live in the Lord
And He lives in me,
So in your heart
I'll always be.

So I'll always be there
We'll never be apart,
I'll be with Him
Deep in your heart.

Love always,Lynn.xxx

FOR JOHN WITH LOVE

You are our special Angel
Up above in Heaven now.
We wish that we could hold you,
If only there was a way how.
You are still our beloved John.
We keep you in our hearts.
We know someday we'll see you
And we won’t be apart.
But until then we'll think of you
In sunshine or in showers.
We will always keep on loving you,
And you will always be ours.
So take care our darling Angel
In Heaven up above.
And until the day we see you,
We'll send up all our love.

♥ It May Be The Last ♥

It may be the last
time spent with you
is like sand in the hour glass
slowly fading away
every minute I touch your face,
every second I hear you laugh
it echoes in my mind, it may be the last
every time you make me smile,
I lock it deeply into my soul
every night I wish upon a star
hoping you’re wishing on mine
for I fear our star is fading,
I am afraid to blink for one minute
fearing you will disappear
I'm afraid to release you from my mind,
it is the reminder of you I have left
If the only way I could be with you forever
is in my dreams,
then I will sleep for eternity
my heart clings to you, not yet realizing,
you're already gone.

hello beautiful Angel,so precious.Have a nice week.Thank you so much for all your love and support.Godbless love always Halina xxx

Listen to Your Guardian Angel

When the sun comes out, that’s me telling you, “Good morning”.
When the wind blows, that’s me trying to get your attention.
When the rain pours, that’s me telling you “I miss you”.
When a thunderstorm happens, that’s me telling you, “That wasn’t a good idea.”
When twilight comes, that’s me telling you, “Good night”.
When the snow falls, that’s me telling you, “Everything is okay up here”.
I may not be there with you, but I’ll watch over you.
I may not be there to talk to you, but I’ll watch over you.

Listen to me.
Look for my signs.
For I am your guardian angel, I will watch over you with great care and love.

Angel in Heaven

Angel in Heaven,
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
If you can,
Please come and help me.

I need you here
I’m scared
You don’t have to do much,
I just need you to be near.
You don’t have to save me,
Just stay close.

I need your comfort,
I need soothing words.
I want to cry to you,
I want you to save me.
But that’s being selfish,
And I just want you near me.

Angel in Heaven,
Did you hear my prayer?
Did you decide already?

Angel in Heaven,
Even though I’m hurt,
I’ll still wait for you.
Even though I’m scared,
I’ll keep holding on.
Even if you don’t come,
I’ll never give up hope.

Angel in Heaven,
Thank you for trying.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you for everything you’ve done for me.
But it’s my time to go.
Thank you for my life,
And thank you for being there.

Angel in Heaven,
I have some great news!
I no longer have cuts or bruises,
I no longer have scars.
All I have now are,
A plain white dress,
A beautiful pair of wings,
And a smile on my face.

Angel in Heaven,
You taught me so much.
You gave me my freedom
And you gave me love.
Thank you Angel and everyone else too.
But the one I should really be thankful to,
Is you.

Angel,
I’m going to help people
Just as you helped me.
I’m going to give hope
To those who need me.

You’ve given me my happiness…

Thank you Angel.

Always watching over us as we go our way,

Never taking their eyes from us a minute of the day,

Guardians who are here to keep us from all harm

Each time we face danger, darkness, or alarm,

Looking out for us through each trial we face,

Sent straight from heaven, by His mercy, love, and grace.
