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

As It Dawns Another Year

♥===♥===♥====♥=====♥=====♥=====♥=====♥

Those who love you, sadly miss you,
As it dawns another year,
In our lonely hours of thinking,
Thoughts of you are ever near.

Your charming ways and smiling face,
Are a pleasure to recall,
You had a kindly word for each,
And died beloved by all.

Always a smile, instead of a frown,
Always a hand, when one was down,
Always true, thoughtful and kind,
Wonderful memories you left behind.

♥===♥===♥====♥=====♥=====♥=====♥=====♥

Thinking of you and your family on this your
1st Angel Anniversary.....Love Ingrid xxx

We Can’t Believe You’re Gone

Dad, our sadness knows no end;
We can’t believe you’re gone;
We’re grieving for you every day;
It’s hard to carry on.

You were always there to support and care,
When we needed a true friend,
How we’ll ever do without our dad,
We cannot comprehend.

You were our teacher and our guide,
Our dad, so good and strong;
Your example will sustain us now,
And last our whole lives long.

We’re trying to communicate;
We hope that you can hear;
Expressing what we feel for you,
Helps us feel you’re near.

Our memories of the times we had
Help the pain to go away.
But Dad, our lives won’t be the same;
We’ll miss you every day.

A part of us went with you;
You left a gap too big to fill;
You’re our father and our hero;
We love you and we always will.

NEVER SAY GOODBYE.......

YOU WILL NEVER HEAR ME UTTER THE WORDS GOODBYE
I WILL SAY SEE YOU SOON THROUGH ALL THE TEARS THAT I CRY
HOW I LONG TO HOLD YOU AND FEEL YOU IN MY ARMS AT NIGHT
JUST TO LOOK INTO YOUR EYES WOULD BE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT

JUST TO FEEL YOUR HEARTBEAT SO CLOSE TO MINE
TO BE ABLE TO TAKE MYSELF BACK IN TIME
I CLOSE MY EYES AND TRY TO IMAGINE JUST HOW IT WOULD FEEL
I WISH SO MUCH I COULD MAKE MY DREAM BECOME REAL

ONE DAY WE SHALL BE TOGETHER AGAIN
THEN I WILL NOT FEEL ALL THIS PAIN
NOTHING WILL EVER STOP ME LONGING FOR YOU
ALWAYS KNOW THAT I WILL FOREVER AND ALWAYS LOVE YOU TOO.......

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Our Reunion in Heaven Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ



We weren't prepared that day,
When God called you away.
So many tears we cried,
Longing to keep you at our side.

How we loved and missed you so,
And weren't ready to let you go,
But it gives us comfort to know,
Within the twinkling of our eyes,
You entered into paradise.

A place with beauty beyond measure,
Eternal happiness and treasure,
Where you have no more pain or tears,
Nor sorrow, worries, and fears.

Although, for now, we are apart,
Your precious memories live in our heart,
Until God calls us each to heaven's door,
Where we'll be reunited, forever more
