Sister-in-law - Violet
A treasured Husband, dad, granddad, great-granddad, Brother and friend of all, who is sadly missed
by all who new him and will never be forgotten. We love you forever Dad.
My Dad Archie (as he was know by all who knew him) was always out and about where he lived in walker
and liked to have a bet on the horses. He didn’t drink much but when he had a few he was a good
laugh and always having fun. He would always be there to help us out if we needed anything and
never judged us. He always gave us advice and guided us when we needed it. He loved all his family
and loved to take sweets and treats to his grandchildren and great grandchildren and would go from
one house to another just to give them out to them, he always loved to see their smiling faces.
Christmas Day he would try his hardest to visit all his children if possible and make sure plenty of
photos were taken of all his family, if he didn’t manage to get to all the houses on Christmas day
he would go on boxing day and he made sure he seen all his family over the Christmas period. He
loved to have his family around him and if I missed a couple of days from going to visit him he
would be on the phone or tell my mum to phone to see why I hadn’t been to see them. For months my
dad said he wasn’t feeling too well but still seemed to get around so nobody really thought much
about it. Around this time some of his grandchildren and son Archie (and sometimes me, son Brian
and his other daughter Margy) started to go on a night time once or twice a week to play cards and
dominos as my dad loved to play. Then in December 2002 just before Christmas Archie was taken ill
and rushed to hospital, he was diagnosed with cancer within a few days of being admitted to the
hospital. Further tests revealed that his cancer had spread throughout his body and there was
nothing the doctors could do. In January 2003 he came home and fought his cancer as long and hard
as he could, he also made sure that the cards and dominos didn’t stop. Then in August 2003 he
found he could no longer fight his cancer. He sadly passed away in his sleep at home with his
family at his bedside on August 26th 2003.
We sat beside your bedside, our hearts were crushed and sore, we did what we could to make you well
till we could do no more. With tears we watched you sinking, we saw you fade away and though our
hearts were breaking we knew you could not stay.
God bless you Dad and may you now be free from all the pain.
Always remembered never forgotten.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
THIS POEM WAS WHAT I WROTE TO MY DAD AND WAS READ OUT AT HIS SERVICE
DAD
They say that time will heal us
Today it’s hard to believe
Dad as you lay there sleeping
This is how we feel
We cry the tears of sorrow
Of sadness and despair
The thought that you are gone now
And no longer there
We remember all the good times
The ones we all have shared
The memory of your smiling face
The happiness you gave
The joy you gave to all of us
Whenever you were there
It’s hard to say good-bye to you
Till we meet again
But I know that one-day
We definitely will
So may you now rest peacefully
With no more pain
Lay your head to rest
And DAD you were the best
May god now bless you
And keep you safe and well
Till we see you again
Forever in our hearts
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
DAUGHTER IN LAW DENISE ALSO WROTE A VERSE FOR MY DAD WHICH WAS ALSO READ AT THE SERVICE
FATHER
ALL THROUGH ARE LIVES YOU GUIDED US
KEPT US STRAIGHT AND TRUE
I KNOW SOMETIMES WE FAULTERED
BUT WE COULD ALWAYS COUNT ON YOU
SOMETIMES WE’D HAVE A PROBLEM
SOMETIMES DISAGREE
BUT ALWAYS WHEN WE NEEDED YOU
THERE YOU WOULD BE
BECAUSE DEAR FATHER YOU LOVED US
WITH A HEART SO WARM AND TRUE
NEVER IN ALL LIFE TIME COULD
ANOTHER REPLACE YOU
TO-DAY WE SAY FAREWELL
TO OUR FATHER HELD SO DEAR
WE’VE SHARED SO MUCH HAPPINESS
SOME PLEASURE AND SOME PAIN
BUT ALL THIS WE PROMISE YOU
AND NEVER WILL WE REFRAIN
IN OUR HEARTS AND MEMORIES
FOREVER WILL YOU REMAIN
TILL TIME WILL COME EVENTUALLY
WE’LL BE HELD IN YOUR ARMS
ONCE AGAIN.
LOVE ALWAYS
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
We wish that we could see you
For just a little while
We wish that we could hug you
And see your loving smile
But wishing gets us nowhere and longing is in vain
So we will hold you in our hearts until we meet again.
Love always x

Remembering You
Your time on earth seemed all too brief
because I wanted you in my life forever.
And although I really miss you,
in my heart I know that you are at peace.
Still, countless times throughout the day
I find myself remembering you.
Although I cannot see or hear you,
I know that you are with me.
I'll feel you in the warmth of the summer sun.
I'll see you in the brilliance of autumn leaves.
You'll be beside me in the peacefulness of a gentle snowfall
and rejoice with me at the emergence
of the first flowers of spring.
I'm thankful for the times we shared
and the priceless memories too;
for those memories are a comfort now when I lovingly -
Remember You.
Sending hugs
I’m sorry you are hurting
But there’s nothing I can do
I’m watching you from up above
I wish you weren’t so blue
If there was anything
That I could do or say
I take away your pain
I’d make it go away
I know you cannot see me
But please be rest assured
I’m by your side every day
And I can hear what you say
I love you too and miss you more
But please do not be sad
I want to see you smile again
I don’t want you to feel bad
You see I know something now
I did not know before
I’m in a place where we will meet
And be together for ever more
In my thoughts & prayers on this sad day. Love Liz, Stuart's mum xx

THE SILENCE OF MY HEART.
IN THE SILENCE OF MY HEART
MY MIND STILL CRIES FOR ANSWER.
THE PAIN COMES CALLING ONCE AGAIN
AND TEARS WASH THROUGH MY SOUL.
THE NEED TO UNDERSTAND STILL SO STRONG
THE LOVE ONCE FELT SO CLOSE AT HAND.
TEMPTATION TO REACH OUT TO YOU,
ALMOST TO TOUCH YOUR HAND,
ALMOST TO HEAR YOUR VOICE
ALMOST TO SHARE YOUR SPIRIT
SO CLOSE TO MY HEART.
THE MEMORIES LINGER
AND IN THE STILLNESS OF MY BEING
STILL BECKON TO ME.
I WISH YOU ALL A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND MY FRIEND,
WITH LOVE AS ALWAYS LINDA.XXX
Each night we shed a silent tear
As we speak to you in prayer.
To let you know we love you
and just how much we care.
Take our million teardrops
wrap them up in love.
Then ask the wind to carry them
to you in Heaven above.
All my love Anne xx
Dad

Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.
What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.
What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.
Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.
Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.
Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.
Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.
Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.

If luck was a raindrop
I'd send you a shower,
If hope is a minute
I'd send you an hour,
If happiness is a leaf
I'd give you a tree,
And if you need a friend
You will always have me.

This morning when I wakened
And saw the sun above,
I Softly said, “Good Morning Lord,
...Bless everyone I love!”
Right away I thought of you
And said a loving prayer
That He would bless you specially
And keep you free from care!
I thought of all the happiness
A day could hold in store;
I wished it all for you because
No one deserves it more!
I felt so warm and good inside
My heart was all aglow---
I know God heard my prayer for you
---He hears them all you know!

We had so little time to share,
Too soon, I had to leave.
I know how much you love me,
I know how much you grieve.
I know how sharp your pain is,
I feel the aching in your hearts.
My life so quickly ended
Before it barely had a start.
I remember how you held me,
And kissed my face and hands,
You cuddled me so gently;
But, God had other plans.
I was your perfect angel,
From God you knew I came,
Suddenly he called me home again,
And now God holds my hand.
I know you’ll always miss me,
I understand your pain is hard to bear.
Just remember that I’m in heaven
And we’ll see each other there.
So smile when you think of me
And wipe away all of your tears
I’m cuddled now in heaven
By our family members here.
I’m waiting here in heaven,
And on the day we meet again.
I’ll be the first to smile and greet you,
When God calls you home.
Thoughts Today, Memories Forever
