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

On Your 1st Angel Day

A year ago today John you went away
your family have missed you every day
Time dose not heal their aching hearts
Or fill the void of being apart

Today when they meet and your not there
It will be almost more than they can bare
Be there in spirit to help them through
As they lovingly remember you.

One day soon, no one knows just when
Your family will be together again
Until that day in their hearts you'll stay
Remembered with love every day.

SPECIAL ANGEL DAY XXXXXX

Last night at bedtime I looked out
to say goodnight to you
and out the window through the clouds
a star came shining through...

It sparkled and it twinkled
like a precious diamond stone
it looked as if it winked at me
and I felt less alone...

On earth we can see starlight
even if the star has gone
and though you are not with me
your light still does shine on...

So though I cannot kiss your face
or hug you oh so tight
I'll look to Heaven, see a star
and whisper your goodnight...

LOTS OF LOVE SANDY XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Together Forever

Together Forever
by Shirley
As I look at your picture I wish you were here
Those sweet words you whisper I can hear so clear
You're saying you love me and want to hold me tight
You want to be near me and love me tonight
I dream of you holding me and you made me see
That together forever we were meant to be
The warmth of your body close to mine
As you and I are lost in time
You reach out to touch me with your loving hand
I never knew you were such a caring man
As you and I embrace you say that you love me
With you my darling I will always be.

MY MEMORIES OF YOU...

My memories of you will last forever
I remember all the good times..
That we shared together
I think of you with beauty and grace
And I know that you are safe..
In a better place
I did not want to say goodbye
For now I'm so alone
And I sit here and cry

My memories of you I promise to keep
I shall try and be strong
And try not to weep
I know you are all around me..
Night and day
And in my heart you will always stay

My memories of you I shall treasure
I will hold them close to my broken heart
I still love you now
Like I did from the start

My memories of you smother me with love
For you are my precious angel
In heaven above

No longer in our life to share,
But in our hearts you are always there
