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

TO MY FAMILY
I have not turned my back on you,
so there is no need to cry.
I'm watching you from heaven,
just beyond the morning sky.
I've seen you almost fall apart,
when you could barely stand.
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
and watched him take your hand.
He told me you are in more pain,
then I could ever be.
He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,
then gave your hand to me.
Although you may not feel my touch,
or see me by your side.
I've whispered that I love you,
while I wiped each tear you cried.
So please try not to ache for me,
we'll meet again one day,
beyond the dark and stormy sky,
a Rainbow lights the way
LOVE GEORGE XXXX
TO MY DARLING LYNSEY
And to my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, 'I welcome you.'
'It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, They'll be here later on.
I need you here so badly, you are part of my plan.
There is so much that we can do, to help our mortal man.'
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you.... in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years.
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who is in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night....'My day was not in vain.
And now I am contented... that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.'
So if you meet somebody who is sad and low;
Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go....
from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going....
you're coming here to be with me
LOVE ALWAYS DAD XXXX

God made a special home
for angels just like you.

and you went away with him.
A home thats full of beauty
with love and not hate.
When at night we can see
the stars are shining bright.
We know that you are there
and taking care of us.
One day we will see
this beauty for ourself.
We will come to live you
in heaven up above.
Untill that day our angel
we keep you in our heart.
With love Dawn x x
GEORGE
YOU can shed tears that HE has gone
or YOU can smile because HE as lived
YOU can close YOUR eyes and pray that HE'LL come back
or YOU can open YOUR eyes and see all the memories HE has left behind
YOUR heart can be empty because YOU can't see HIM
or it can be full of the love that YOU once shared
YOU can turn YOUR back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or YOU can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
YOU can remember HIM and only that HE has gone
or YOU can cherish HIS memory and let it live on
YOU can cry and close YOUR mind
be empty and turn YOUR back
or YOU can do what HE would have wanted
open YOUR eyes, remember HIM and go on.
Love always Sandra, Michaela & their angels Peter & David xxxxx

FRIENDS
God must have known there would be times
We'd need a word of cheer
Someone to praise a triumph
Or brush away a tear.
He must have known we'd need to share
The joy of 'little things'
In order to appreciate
The happiness life brings.
I think he knew our troubled hearts
Would sometimes throb with pain
At trials and misfortunes
Or some goals we can't attain.
He knew we'd need the comfort
Of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage
To make a fresh, new start.
He knew we'd need companionship
Unselfish...lasting. ..true,
And so God answered the heart's great need
With CHERISHED FRIENDS....like you.
Sending love and thanks to you today
Dawn and my angels David & Lilian x x x x
