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

(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.)

and make everything shine,
but you're one of those
rare and splendid jewels

When I am sad, you make me smile.
When I am alone and blue,
you are there for me,
and you make me feel strong enough
to accomplish anything.
Because I appreciate

more than words can say,
I'm sending you the Candle of Love,
and hoping you receive
many blessings from above.

Thankyou for all the candles, verses, and pictures sent to Martin every day. They mean so much. Love sent to you and your precious angel. Love Tracey (&Martin)
Every day be thankful for what you have and who you are.
Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings. Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.
Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible. Thank you, Lord, that I can see. Many are blind.
Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising. Thank you, Lord,that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.
Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud. Thank you Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely.
Even though our breakfast table never looks like the pictures in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced. Thank you, Lord, for the food we
have. There are many who are hungry.
Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous. Thank you,Lord,for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.
Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest. Thank you, Lord, for life.
Pass this on to the friends you know. It might help a bit to make this world a better place to live, right? A friend is someone we turn to when
our spirits need a lift. A friend is someone to treasure.
For friendship is a gift. A friend is someone who fills our lives with Beauty, Joy and Grace and makes the world we live in a better and happier place.
Love always Dawn & Karoline x x

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 GTS FRIENDS....like you.

When Angels sense you need then, and Angels always do,
They come, unseen, from everywhere to help and comfort you.
They hover close beside you till your cares are gone,
till they can see you’re ready, once again to carry on.

love sent to you for all your support.
Love Tracey.
The pain is all around me and I don't know what to do.
How can I bear it all the time and try to make it through?
I always knew I loved you; I just didn't know how deep.
I really thought you would be mine, for all my life to keep.
I liked you and I loved you more with all the passing days.
You were wonderful and marvelous in many different ways.
Now I don't know where, or how, to send you all my love.
Is there some way for me to find you in your world above?
Who were you? Were you 'real' and did you in fact exist?
Most days I seem to search for you - you are so very missed.
Sometimes I can picture you and you feel so very near,
But I can't show my love now I can't find you here.
My mind knows but just can't understand your death.
Or how it can still be possible for me to take a breath.
You're so much a part of me, how can you just be 'gone';
and how can a broken heart still beat and carry on?
I wish I could be someone else but that would mean no 'you'.
I must live with pain and longing but give life a brighter hue.
I must find a place to send my love, which grows with every day.
So let me know that you're alright, and love will find its way
Just Naturally

Friends are like flowers
That's how it should be
So sweet and so special
Just naturally
Writing this poem
So you know that I care
Sending a flower
With love always there
Soft and so smooth
With fragrance divine
With greatest emotion
My love is defined
Hope when you get this
You'll send it to me
Keep love just flowing
That's how it should be.
