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.

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

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
THE POWER OF OUR LOVE......
THE POWER OF OUR LOVE WILL SEE ME THOUGH TODAY
EVEN THOUGH IT IS SO HARD WITHOUT AND IT IS YOUR FIRST ANGEL DAY
I FEEL YOUR LOVE AROUND ME STILL AND YOU LIVE IN MY HEART
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME EVEN WHILE WE ARE TWO WORLDS APART
THE POWER OF OUR LOVE WILL ALWAYS KEEP ME STRONG
UNTIL THE DAY I AM RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE WHERE I BELONG
MY ONE TRUE LOVE IT IS SO HARD WITHOUT YOU HERE

~Firsts~
(Tessa Wilkinson)
The journey of grief is one of 'firsts'
The first Birthday
The first Christmas
The first anniversary
The list is of endless firsts…
Each 'first' can loom ahead, huge, like a mountain to climb
A block on the way
But remember, once that 'first' is over it will never be a 'first' again
Next time we meet it, we will have met it before
We will know that that mountain can be climbed and we will start to believe that we will be able to climb the next,
and the next, and the next…

Thinking Of You And Your Loving Family Today
On Your 1st Angelversary
Love Always Cathy.xxxx
The Lord came down and touched your face, the angels sang Amazing Grace, then God whispered soft and low, come with Me, it's time to go. Always true, thoughtful and kind, wonderful memories you've left behind. God Bless. xxx
Sweet Dreams John
You may not be able to see me,
Though you think that I am gone.
Inside your heart you carry me,
So I live on, I live on.
I know you feel an emptiness,
Of words we left unsaid.
Release your pain, forgive yourself,
For I already did.
The love you gave, I took with me,
And left my love for you.
So now I know some time has passed,
Here is what I ask of you.
Share my life and remember me,
To those you love – out loud.
And I will become part of them,
For that would make me proud.
Those little quirks, the quips I said,
Please share those memories.
For there is no plaque or stone,
That would better honor me.
I loved you then, and love you still,
And will forevermore.
So take my love and pass it down,
That’s what my legacy is for.
Give my memories, my love as gifts,
And do not mourn that I have gone.
Just place my love in your Heart always
And you will know that I live on.
Love always Fran
