Sisters - Winnie, Ann, Dot and the late Joan.
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

Tribute For This Weekend
Candles Will Be Lit As Usual
On Sunday For Monday
♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥☺♫♥
Special Day
We do not need a special day
To bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you
Are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake
We know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you,
Your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly;
In death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache,
And often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.
If tears would make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts;
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
A Celebration
This day will be a celebration
Of the short time you were here.
You will always be remembered
With great love and many tears.
But to only feel pain and sorrow
Would not be fair to you.
Your life meant so much more to us,
More than words could say.
You were here so briefly,
I wonder if you knew
All the ways you’ve touched
Our world and our hearts
And everyone who knew you
Since the day God called you home.
Now my child, you’re an angel
With your heavenly Father above,
We see not only what we’ve lost
But our capacity of love.
There will always be a big void
In our life and a hole in our
Hearts that will never heal.
Our souls will grieve forever.
Will we forget or stop loving you?
No! Not now…not ever.
As this day is upon us,
Oh, how our hearts still hurt.
But even as I mourn your death,
We will always celebrate your birth.
It was the happiest day of our lives.
Although the curtain falls
There comes a time for all of us
When we must say goodbye
But memories of those we love
Live on and never die
Although the curtain falls at last
Is that a cause to grieve?
The future life is brighter still
If only we believe
So trust in God’s eternal care
And when the master calls
We’ll know a fairer world’s to come
Although the curtain falls
In Memory Of You
We want to always remember
The beautiful life you lived
And keep alive the memories we have
Through remembering what you did
For you're so special to all of us
A wonderful person indeed
Your love, laughter and warm smile
Reflected a heart that believed
Just in the everyday things we do
We remember your faith and love
In the words you spoke to help us through
Is a continued reminder for us
Although we miss you so very much
We know we'll see you once more
For this is the hope we have in God
Being re-united in the Lord
And as we gather we'll continue to share
Special times we went through
For these are memories that warm our hearts
As we honour the memory of you
Thoughts Today Memories Forever

Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved ones gone
those we love can never be
more than a thought apart
for as long as there is memory
they'll live on in the heart.

There is a special place in our hearts
for those we have loved
for those who have loved us
without question, without a word or promise
there is a special place
where there is no pain or fear
where love flows freely
there is a special place to rest
in our hearts forever.

I know how much I miss you
I feel an emptiness inside
It shows in everything I do
It's something I can't hide
I simply miss you being there
Life seems dull and flat
Without you nothings quite the same
I can't say more than that
But one day we will meet again
I know that this is true
But everyday until then
I know i'll just be missing you.

Love always elaine xxxxxxxx
god takes care of heavens garden
where he has many angel flowers
he waters each one fondly
with his very own special powers
loving each one tenderly
loving each one just right
the angel flowers watch over us
gods garden must be a beautiful sight xxxxxx
~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~
There are angels in the heavens
there are angels on the ground
there are angels all around you
just waiting to be found...
So when you're feeling lonely
or just a little blue
open your eyes to see the angels
they are there waiting for you...
Don't forget about these angels
during all of your good times too
for they like to share your happiness
and the joys that come to you...
They will wrap their wings around you
to protect and guide you through
all the sad and tragic moments
that this life can throw at you...
They are sent to you from heaven
from our father up above
so remember to look for the angels
they'll show you all gods love...
~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~ ♥ ~~
Have you ever truly heard
an angel whisper in your ear?
their voices are soft and comforting
letting you know you have nothing to fear...
If you listen very carefully
you might just hear their sweet voice
whispering to you of gods perfect love
and all things that make you rejoice...
They do their very best
to always watch over you
to keep you safe and happy
in everything you do...
So next time you feel lonely
kind of scared or feeling blue
just whisper to your angel
and listen...for they will whisper back to you...
xxx ~~ Love Always ~ Elaine ~~ xxx
Never think you are on your own
I`d never let you walk alone
When you`re down and want to cry
Let it out, let your tears run dry,
I watch and guide you everyday
So that you can find your way
And when you`re down and in despair
Just call my name and i`ll be there,
Right by your side through good and bad
But you need never feel sad,
Until it`s time for your journey home
Just remember you`re not on your own
We`ll meet again sometime soon
And we`ll be together, like the stars and moon
☾☆ ☾☆ ☾☆☾☆ ☾☾☆☾☆ ☾☆ ☾☆☾☆ ☾☾☆
god bless angel.xxx.

Tribute for this weekend
Candles will be lit as usual
On Sunday For Monday
To All Parents
“I’ll lend you for a little time
A child of mine,” He said.
“For you to love the while they live
And mourn when they are dead,
“It may be six or seven years,
Or twenty-two or three.
“But will you, till I call them back,
Take care of them for me?
“They’ll bring their charms to gladden you,
But should their stay be brief,
“You’ll have their lovely memories,
As solace for your grief,
“I cannot promise they will stay,
Since all from earth return,
“But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
“I’ve looked the wide world over
In my search for teachers true,
“And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes
I have selected you.
“Now will you give them all your love,
Nor think the labour vain,
“Nor hate me when I come to call
To take them back again?
I fancied that I heard them say:
Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
“For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we’ll run.
We’ll shelter them with tenderness:
We’ll love them while we may,
And for happiness we’ve known
Forever grateful stay.
“But should the angels call for them
Much sooner than we’d planned.
“We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.”
Tomorrow
If I should go tomorrow
It would never be goodbye,
For I have left my heart with you,
So don't you ever cry.
The love that's deep within me,
Shall reach you from the stars,
You'll feel it from the heavens,
And it will heal the scars.
Love Lives On
Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
Because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
Far as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the heart.
When We Remember
You can shed tears that they are gone
Or you can smile because they have lived
You can close your eyes
And pray that they’ll come back
Or you can open your eyes
And see all they have left
Your heart can be empty
Because you can’t see them
Or you can be happy for tomorrow
Because of yesterday.
You can remember them
And only that they have gone
Or you can cherish their memory
And let it live on
You can cry and close your mind,
Be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what they wanted:
SMILE,
Open your eyes,
LOVE
And go on.

I cannot dial your number
I can't get through to you
I called the operator
She did all that she could do
There is no code to heaven
I cannot place the call
No numbers left to try
I reckon i've tried them all
If heaven had a phone
I'd ring it every day
If heaven had a phone
Theres things I want to say
Tell you that I love you
Miss you since you went away
And how much I prayed to god
That he could have let you stay
Oh darling, if heaven had a phone
Theres things I want to know
Things I want to tell you
How do you feel?
Should I stay or should I go?
Are you looking over me
Do you see me cry a tear
Questions I want to ask
Answers I need to hear
If heaven had a phone
I'd ring it every day
My life has had no meaning
Since the day god took you away
I only know more sadness
More tears again today
Maybe one day i'll smile without you
Until then I will always cry
One day the sun may shine for me
Like it did for you and I
My life was for tomorrow
Now my life is yesterday
I cannot face this world alone
Please show me the way
If heaven had a phone
I'd ring you every day
If heaven had a phone
I'd hear your voice, know that you're okay
I just want to speak to heaven
please do you have a direct line
Operator says no number
But your loved one says they're doing fine
Love always Elaine x♥x♥
