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
I stood by your bed last night;
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I spoke to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
'It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here.'
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently landed on you; I smiled and said, 'it's me.'
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair. I tried so hard to let you know, that I was there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, 'I never went away.'
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say 'good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning.'
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll fly across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you,
there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...
then come home to be with me.

THANKS A MILLION!!!!
I am so pleased to have my computer back I have really really missed lighting my candles & messages for Christopher I miss him so much.
I would like to thank each and every one of you
that have continued to light candles, leave tributes & photographs for Christopher while my computer has been getting fixed.
It has really annoyed me that I have been unable
to light my candles & tributes for all your wonderful angels.
I have missed being in touch with all of you,
and not being able to read all the lovely messages
you leave for Christopher & I they really do mean such a lot to me.
It will take me awhile to read all the messages I have missed but I will read each and every one of them once again thank you all for your support
it is very much appreciated you are all so very kind
A part of us is missing
And there is nothing we can do
The part of us that’s missing,
My dearest Angel is you
Thoughts Today Memories Forever
Angela(Christopher-John Rowe) Mum
For Monday
IT'S SO GOOD TO BE BACK ON-LINE
Good night sweet angel it is time to sleep
The night is silent
The breeze is slight
My thoughts wander
of you at night
I hope to see you in my dreams
Snuggled up tight in your
Bright white wings
The day is ending our love has not
You are with me every night
I just wish I could kiss you goodnight
Goodnight my darling
I hope you sleep tight
Goodnight sweet angel
Goodnight xXx Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
So you want to be an angel?
The good Lord said to me,
Do you think it will be easy
To be spiritual, and free?
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
He said, 'I guess we'll try it'
So He sent me here to live,
He told me I would learn a lot
On how to take, and how to give.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
He set up many hardships
That I really must endure,
He made sure I wasn't rich,
He made sure that I was poor.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
He didn't give me good looks,
He didn't make me smart,
He just gave me the very basics
To go ahead and start.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
It's been many years
That He's let me stay around
He hasn't called me home at all,
He's seen me smile, He's seen me frown.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
I often stop and think
Have I passed the angel test,
Have I done all I can do,
Have I tried my very best.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
And when He calls me home
Sometime late at night,
Will He send me back again
Until I get it right.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Or will He let me have my wings
My halo, gold and bright,
Will I ever get to wear that gown
That gown of Angel White ...
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
GOOD AFTERNOON TO ALL MY FRIENDS HOPE

I give you this one thought to keep -
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone-
I am with you still - in each new dawnxx
