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.)
Thank you for everything
I thought of you everyday
while I have been away
Each and every angel
has a place in my heart
I have missed not visiting
you all to say hello
Everyday I have wished for
you a peacefull day
At night I looked up to the sky
to see the twinkling stars
I knew that up in heaven
our angels were ok.
Love always Dawn x x x x
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping my angels safe while I was not able to, it was the first time I have been away since my angel passed away it was a very hard time, I missed not visiting their site and all their angel friends but I knew they were all being looked after by my friends. Thank you so much for lighting the candles all the lovely verses tributes and pictures you are all true friends to me which means so much when you are all hurting to god bless you all.
Love always Dawn x x x x
Angels really do exist...
A friendly voice in the dark of night,
The tentative rays of morning light,
A host of butterflies high in flight,
A rainbow extending far out of sight-
All these miracles tell me this:
Angels really do exist.
Thinking of you Lynsey and your Angel George.
Thank you for keeping Kits site going for me. It's been so very hard leading up to his birthday, and mine, with him away from home. I really appreciate your kindness.
Bless you...love Deb xx
Always in our thoughts

Message from Heaven
I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
I still share your hopes
and all of your cares
I'll even remind you
to please say your prayers
I just want to tell you
you still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders
above the crowd
Keep trying each moment
to stay in his grace
I came here before you
to help set your place
You don't have to be
perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip
if you continue to climb
To my family and friends
please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
in a new special way
As I am now beside Jesus
in the heaven’s above
Please take care of each other
we send you our love
******************** ****************
A Visitor From Heaven
A visitor from heaven If only for awhile
A gift of love to be returned we think of you and smile
A visitor from heaven accompanied by grace
Reminding of a better love and of a better place.
We are greatful for that time
And now it's time to say goodbye
we trust you to the Fathers love
And to his tender care.
With breaking hearts and open hands
we send you with all our love
It hurts so much to let you go
in our hearts you stay.

Love you forever

We're a family who misses you
And finds time long since you went.
We think of you daily and hourly
But try to be brave and content
The tears that we shed are in silence
And we breathe a sigh of regret
For you are ours, and we remember
Though all the world forget.
Sorry I haven't been able to be on GTS for a while. Leading up to Kits 25th birthday celebrations felled me. I feel a little stronger at the moment...so I'm back.
Thank you for your support. I really appreciate you my GTS friend. Bless you x

To Those I Love & Who Love Me x
When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy that we had those years.
I gave you my love,you can only guess,
How much you gave me happiness.
I thank you for the love you have shown,
But now it's time I travel alone.
So grieve a while, for if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a while we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on,
So if you need me, call me and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All of my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you come this way home,
I'll greet you with a smile and say, 'Welcome'.
♥ღ♥ Bless you George...and to Lynsey.
Thank you for your support on Kits site. It means so much to us. Have had a bit of a rough time just lately so couldn't be on the computer very much. This grief is so hard to get through and, without friends like you and the rest of my GTS friends, I don't think I could manage. So thank you x ♥ღ♥
