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

POEMS SENT WITH LOVE FOR PRECIOUS ANGELS,HAVE A NICE WEEKEND, 19TH NOVEMBER 09

Angels
May angels rest beside your door,
May you hear their voices sing.
May you feel their loving care for you,
May you hear their peace bells ring.
May angels always care for you,
And not let you trip and fall,
May they bear you up on angel's wings,
May they keep you standing tall.
May they whisper wisdom in your ear,
May they touch you when you need,
May they remove from you each trace of fear,
May they keep you from feeling greed.
May they fill you with their presence,
May they show you love untold,
May they always stand beside you
And make you ever bold.
May they teach you what you need to know
About life here and here-after.
May they fill you always with their love
And give you the gift of laughter

Where Did You Come From ?
Where did you come from, Baby dear?
Out of the everywhere into here.
Where did you get your eyes so blue?
Out of the sky as I came through.
What makes the light in them sparkle and spin?
Some of the starry spikes left in.
Where did you get that little tear?
I found it waiting when I got here.
What makes your forehead so smooth and high?
A soft hand stroked it as I went by,
What makes your cheek like a warm white rose?
I saw something better than anyone knows.
Whence that three-comer'd smile of bliss?
Three angels gave me at once a kiss.
Where did you get this pearly ear?
God spoke, and it came out to hear.
Where did you get those arms and bands?
Love made itself into hooks and hands.
Feet, whence did you come, you darling things?
From the same box as the cherubs' wings.
Where did you get that dimple so cute,
God touched my cheek as I came through.
How did they all come just to be you?
God thought of me, and so I grew.
But how did you come to us, you dear?
God thought of you, and so I am here.

George MacDonald, 1871

Angels Always There
Whenever I’m in fervent prayer
I feel God’s holy angels there;
Protective, loving, and serene;
Who stay nereby, tho yet unseen.
Thus, when I feel my heart might break,
I try to smile for Jesus’ sake;
Whose angels let my faith not dim
That I might see the smile of Him!

Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent of quiet take
That for an hermitage;
If I have freedom in my love
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that sore above
Enjoy such liberty.

Weep not for me
Now that I have passed.
Remember the laughter, the affection, the joy
Not just the recent tears.
Cherish the memories, our hopes and dreams.
Hold fast to the love that we shared.
Be happy with the time we spent together
And being anew.
For I am not really gone,
I am closer than ever before.
As the morning sun rises
And throughout the busy day...I am with you.
Until the setting sun disappears on the horizon
And we watch the day turn into night...I am here.
You may feel a faint breeze stir round your head, while you slumber
As I gently kiss your forehead, "Good night."
The stars that shine so brightly in my heavenly sky
Help me watch over you and keep you from harm.
I am the wind in the trees
And the song of a bird.
I am moonbeams in a midnight sky
And a glorious rainbow after the storm.
I am morning dew
And freshly-fallen snow.
I am a butterfly flying overhead
And a puppy happily at play.
I am a smile on a stranger's face
A gentle touch
A warm embrace.
Listen to the wind for my message of love.
Watch the sun rise and set in the sky with me.
Feel my essence encircle you with warm memories.
Open your heart to know...I am not gone.
Reach deep into your soul...You will find me.
I am here.
Have no fear.
I am with you,
Always.

When Great Trees Fall
(Maya Angelou)

When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Great souls die and
our reality, bound to
them, takes leave of us.
Our souls,
dependent upon their
nurture,
now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed
and informed by their
radiance,
fall away.
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable ignorance
of dark, cold
caves.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.

I LOOK AROUND AND I SEE SO MANY BROKEN HEARTS THAT WILL NEVER HEAL
I TRY TO IMAGINE HOW EACH PERSON WILL FEEL
I WRITE WORDS FILLED WITH SO MUCH LOVE
THEY ARE ALWAYS SENT TO OUR ANGELS RESTING IN HEAVEN ABOVE

I KNOW THAT WE ARE ALL FEELING THE PAIN SO BAD
WE ALL WANT THE FAMILY BACK THAT WE HAD
CHRISTMAS IS COMING WE SEEM TO FEEL THE PAIN SO MUCH MORE
ALL WE WANT IS TO SHARE THE TIMES LIKE WE DID BEFOR

WE CAN ONLY IMGAINE THAT YOU ARE ALL TOGETHER IN THE GARDEN OF LOVE
RIGHT NOW WE ALL NEED OUR ANGELS TO SEND KISSES FROM HIGH ABOVE
ALLOW US TO FEEL THEM FLOATING RIGHT BY
FROM EACH AND EVERY ANGEL RESTING IN THE SKY

WE ALL NEED TO KNOW THAT OUR ANGELS ARE STILL AROUND
MAYBE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEND A FEW PURE WHITE FEATHERS FOR US TO FIND ON THE GROUND
HELP US ALL THOUGH THE HARD TIMES THAT ARE LAYING AHEAD
EACH ONE OF OUR ANGELS LIVES ON IN OUR HEARTS AND IN OUR HEARTS THEY ARE NOT DEAD

WHILE EVER OUR HEARTS ARE BEATING THEY WILL BE PART OF OUR LIVES THEY ALWAYS WILL
EVEN WHEN WE ARE GOING THOUGH SUCH A HORRIBLE TIME AND IT FEELS LIKE OUR LIFES ARE STOOD SO STILL

OUR ANGELS WILL BE WITH US AND THEY WILL HELP TO GUIDE US EVERY DAY
THEY WILL ALL BE LISTENING IN HEAVEN TO THE WORDS THAT WE HAVE TO SAY
THIS TIME OF YEAR GETS HARDER HAS EACH DAY GOES ON BY
OUR ANGELS DO NOT LIKE TO SEE US WHEN WE BREAK DOWN AND CRY

THE SPIRIT OF EACH AND EVERY ANGEL LIVES ON FOREVER MORE
UNTIL IT IS OUR TIME TO JOIN THEM THEY WILL WAIT FOR US AT HEAVENS DOOR
THEY CAN READ DEEP INSIDE EACH AND EVERY BROKEN HEART THEY LEFT BEHIND RIGHT HERE
MAYBE IF WE LISTEN TO OUR HEARTS THEY WILL BE ABLE TO WHISPER IN OUR EAR......

Im holding on to memories
For times just slipping by
Every night i watch you
Our Angels lighting up the sky

♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥

As i sit and watch you
You are so high above
My arms outstretch to Heaven
Just need to feel your love

♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥~♥

If i could only see you
Touch your hand Or kiss your face
My eyes will stop crying
And put a smile back on my face

Time is moving on
Memories so precious
In my heart you will live on

Brings a smile a silent tear
With every beat of my heart
A constant wish that you were here
