George (my dad) was born in sunderland in 1939. A lovely man who was devoted to his wife Pat,his 4
children,Tony, Ann, Haley and me Lynsey. His 4 grandchildren, Lewi, Georgia, Carly and Kristie.
He loved his garden and every day he would be out there tending to his plants. Many people past
comment on how lovely it was. One lady even told us that she often used to take a different route
home just to take a look.
He was a perfect dad in every way. Strict at times but we realise now that we are older that it was
for our own good. I sometimes find myself repeating his words to my daughter Georgia.
Dad worked hard all his life to provide the best for his familly and made sure we had hollidays and
day trips out. Dad was also an avid George Formby fan and was a member of the George Formby socitey.
He taught himself how to play the uke and day in day out he would drive us all mad playing it. Wish
i could hear him now. I have him playing on dvd but its just not the same although its lovely to
watch.
On Dec.13th 2005 my dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer. WHY? was the question on all our minds.
But dad never complained. His time was up and that was that. He had chemo which for all of you who
have gone through it will know its not an easy time. They told us he could have the chemo but it
wouldnt save him, it would just prolong his life. But again, never once did dad complain.
He sadly passed away on dec 16th 2006 at the age of 67. A day i will never forget. The saddest day
of my life. 3.15pm. That was the time my dad was taken from us. His short breaths were getting
weaker and weaker and i just knew it was time for my dad to leave this world. So i gently kissed him
goodby and then he left us for a better place where he is free from all the pain.
Me and my mam were sitting 1 day in the front room and we swear we could hear a uke being played.
It was very faint but we like to think that it was him just letting us know hes there with us still.
Dads garden is empty now because none ov us have green fingers like he did, although mam is doing
her best. But unlike the flowers he tendered, he is a bloom that will never fade away. He will live
on in our hearts forever.
LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH DAD.
TILL WE ALL MEET AGAIN IN HEAVEN.
MAY WE ALWAYS HAVE AN ANGEL BY OUR SIDE
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(Thankyou to each and every one of you for lighting candles and adding tributes, pictures
etc. Dad would be chuffed and it means so much to us. Love to you all.)

*******************
For you with love
*******************
Precious is the gift of life
be it short or be it long.
Just like a budding flower
or like the morning dew.
A person born to this earth
is remembered with love.
As they pass into heaven above
that doesnt mean we forget.
Even if they never took a breath
upon this earth.
They have a place our heart
Forever we will remember them.
Every morning that we wake
we have the gift of light.
Every night before we sleep
we see our shining stars.
With every breath that we take
we smell the fresh new air.
When the time has come for us
to take our final journey.
We will not be scared of going alone
as you will be waiting to hold our hand.
Reunited with our angels forever
in love and perfect peace.
All my dear friends and angels this will be my last tribute untill I return in late January. I want to thank you all for all the support that you have given to me and for all the lovely candles tributes and photos which you have given to my angels.
You and your angels will be with me in my heart always, for all the angels who have a special day that I will miss I send you extra love. I want to wish you all a peaceful xmas and new year and to thank everyone for looking after my angels while I cant, also if possible could you visit my mum on her birthday (23rd Nov) and light her candle.
Love always Dawn x x x x
*******************************************************
My family, tell a lot of lies, they never did before,
From now until the day they die, they'll tell a whole Lot more.
They used to tell the truth a lot, but now it doesn't Matter,
I died and went to heaven, now their life is all Shatter’d.
Ask my family how they are, and they'll say "oh Yes I'm fine!"
But they want to beg, "Please help me, ‘cause I’ve Lost that dad of mine".
Ask my family how they are, and they'll say, "oh I'm Alright",
If that's the truth then tell me please, why do they Cry each night?
Ask my family how thy are ’cause they seems to cope So well,
They didn't have a choice, you see, nor yet the Strength to yell.
You think you know the feeling, but in fact this Cann't be,
For even though you loved me, it was not as much as My family did.
They’ll smile and they will tell you, "It's OK, God Has a plan”
But then they’ll turn away and cry, ‘cause they can't Understand why ????.
You tell a joke they giggle, but in fact their not OK,
They wants to share the joke with me, but it won’t be Today.
I watch my family from here in Heaven, their distress Disturbs My peace,
Will someone please take care of them, and thus take Care of me?
"Some day you will feel better", "Yes I will one day" They lie,
They knows this won't happen until they day they die.
Ask my family how they are and they'll say, "I’m Doing good"
They cannot tell you how they feel - oh, how I wish They could.
Ask my family how they are: "I'm ok, I'm fine, I'm Coping.”
For God's sake, just tell the truth and say your Heart is broken.
Ask my family how they are and they’ll reply "I'm Well, and you?”
I'll shake my head in Heaven, ‘cause it simply isn't True.
They'll love me all their life's, just like I loved Them all of mine,
The'll lie and try to hide the pain, pretending that They are fine.
Their carnival is over, they have stepped off the Carousel,
But to save you feeling bad they'll say, "Yes thank You, all is well".
My family haven't gone mad quite yet, but oh, so very Near,
Don't ask them how their doing, ask them how they are Doing ...REALLY.
I’m watching them from Heaven, and I cann't hug them From here,
So if they lie to you, don't listen to them, but Please hug them and hold them close.
On the day we'll meet for ever we shall smile and I'll be bold:
"You're lucky to get in here with all the lies You've told!!"
God bless XXXXX
Sorry I'v not been on for a few days things have not been to good, but you and your angel have been in my thoughts and prays love always Sandra & Michaela & our angels Peter, David & Violet XXXXX
As you release this butterfly in honour of me,
Know that I'm with you and will always be.
Hold a hand, say a prayer, close your eyes and see me There.
Although you may feel a bit torn apart,
Please know that I'll be forever in your heart.
Now fly away butterfly as high as you can go,
I'm right there with you more than you know.
xxxxx

THANKYOU FOR EVERY THING YOU DO YOU ARE A TRUE FRIEND LOVE SANDRA & MICHAELA & OUR ANGELS PETER, DAVID & VIOLET XXXXX
My dear family
Dry your tears today
You know I love you so
It hurts me much to see you cry
Cos my family don't you know
I'll never leave you all alone
I've never left your hearts
God took me by the hand that day
He said we would never part
He kept his promise to me
I visit you all the time
You are the sweetest family
An angel here could have
If I could write a letter
I'm sure you know I would
To let you know I'm safe from harm
And that heaven is a real good place
I'm here with many angels
Some that you may know
Those angels send all their love
To all of you below
I know one day we'll meet again
On the day that you come home
I've saved a place for you my loved ones
It's near gods precious throne
I'll wrap my arms around you and
Lead you up gods stairs
Till then my lovely family
Carry on and dry those tears
Please do me one big favour
Look after one another
Please take the time to smile and think
That you still have each other.
LOVE ALWAYS DAD (GEORGE) XXXXX
A SMILE FOR YOU
Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu
When some one smiled at me today I started Smiling too
I passed around the corner and someone saw my Grin
When he smiled I realized I'd passed it on to him
I thought about that smile and realised its Worth.
A single smile just like mine could travel around The earth.
So if you feel a smile begining don’t leave it Undetected
Lets start an epidemic quick and get the world Infected
EVERY ONE NEEDS A SMILE
LOVE ALWAYS SANDRA & MICHAELA & OUR ANGELS PETER, DAVID & VIOLET XXXXX
My special angel
I have a little Angel they way up in the sky,
Ive asked them to watch over you, they replied yes thats ok but why ?
I told them that your special, you mean so much to me, they said that they will take good care of you.
So when you feel the warmth surrounding you each day, that is to let you know that they are very near.
They are beside you where ever you may go, and always there to wipe away your tears.
Send this on to your special friends and family You really love today!
I JUST DID !!!!!!!!!!
X X X X X
An angel is someone who is filled with love,
a gift that they constantly share.
An angel is someone who looks out for others
giving them a nudge here and there.
An angel is someone who touches your life
with a heart that's both joyful and wise.
Even though they don't have a halo or wings,
they are an angel in human disguise.
You are that angel in my life,
I thank you from my heart.
X X X X X X X
Never take someone for granted....hold special people close to your heart....because you might wake up one day and realise that you've lost a diamond while you was too busy collecting stones...send this to a special diamonds in your life we just did.
Thinking of you always from the bottom of my heart
Love Dawn x x x x
MY FAMILY
My family don't know I'm watching them
But I'm watching them just the same.
And I hear each tear falling on their face
At the mention of my name.
They says it sounds like music to their ears
And can be heard over a crowd.
I hear each tear falling on their face,
When my name is said aloud.
I watch them stumble through each day
As they wish the day would end.
And I hear each tear falling on their face
As they talk of me with their friends.
But there are few who truly understand.
This I've heard them proclaim.
And I hear each tear falling on their face.
Will my family ever be the same?
I know that their smile's could light up the sky,
But I don't see them smileing today.
But I hear each tear falling on their face,
and their blue skies have turned to grey.
I send my family hugs full of love
with the rays of the morning sun.
Then I won't hear tear's falling on their face's
For I shall erase them one by one.
Yes my family don't know I'm watching them,
But I'm watching them just the same.
And when I hear a tear fall on their face
I softly whisper their name
Till we meet again
Don't let the tears fall down your face
I am watching and waiting
Love DAD xxxxx

Xx Pass this on to all your close friends xX
If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there
Thinking of you always thank you for your support
Love always Dawn x x x
pennies from heaven
Found a penny today
laying on the ground
but its not just a penny
this little coin I found
Pennies come from heaven
that's what I was always told
They say angels toss them down
oh, how I love this story
They say when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down
sometimes just to cheer you up
To make a smile out of a frown
So, don't pass by that penny
When you're feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
That your dad tossed to you
THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU XXXXX
THANK YOU
A thank you to all the people who visit our angels Peter, David & Violet and help us get through each day .
WE THANK YOU LORD FOR ALLOWING THEM THE CHANCE TO SEE YOUR LOVE.
FOR YOU SENT THEM A VERY SPECIAL ANGEL WHO NOW DWELLS WITH YOU ABOVE.
COULD YOU PLEASE JUST TAKE A MINUTE AND HOLD THEIR ANGEL TIGHT.
TELL HIM THAT THEY LOVE HIM AND THINK OF HIM EACH NIGHT.
THEY MISS HIM MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY AND THEIR HEARTS ARE WITH HIM ALWAYS.
ASK HIM TO WATCH OVER THEM UNTIL YOU CALL THEM HOME.
THEY KNOW HOW LUCKY THEY WERE BECAUSE A ANGEL LIKE THEIR'S ARE VERY HARD TO FIND.
JUST ONE MORE THING BEFORE WE GO...
WE WANT TO THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN,
YOU KNEW WE WOULDN'T COPE WITH OUR LOSS ALONE AND YOU SENT US A GROUP OF SPECIAL FRIENDS.
WHO SHARE OUR THOUGHTS WE DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID IF WE NEED TO BREAK DOWN AND CRY BECAUSE THEY WILL CRY WITH US,
