I have set this memorial page up as a tribute to my Dad who sadly passed away recently..
It will be our first Christmas without him and would have been his 84th. birthday on Christmas Eve
so i wanted to have somewhere that family and friends could come too to be able to share their xmas
and birthday wishes with him.He was in the Kings Own Scottish Borderers ( KOSB ) in WW2 and was so
very proud of his regiments badge that he always wore on his blazer when he went out..
He was a very quiet gentle soul and a loving husband, father, Grandad, and Great Grandad who will be
sorely missed by all who knew him.. I loved him dearly and he will be forever in my heart.. He
wouldnt want tears or sadness this Festive season so i will think of all the funny things he did
before he left and i know that one day we will meet again.. R.I.P. Dad
Your Loving Daughter ... Carol x
I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has lit candles etc. for my dad today.. I know you are all feeling the same pain but your thoughts are really appreciated by me and my Family.. May you all find peace.. Carol x ( Roy,s Daughter )
My Dad is my Angel
An angel walks beside me,
I feel him everyday,
he helps me through lives ups and downs,
and whatever comes my way.
He guides me down the road of life,
and lights the darkest roads,
he picks me up and carries me,
when I can not bear the load.
He helps to ease the pain I feel,
he mends my spirit, too,
he holds my hand, and shelters me,
and gives me courage and strength, too.
He speaks to me with words of love,
and he listens to my pleas,
he was sent here from the lord above,
to guide and comfort me.
I know he's always watching,
though his form I can not see,
its a peace I feel deep in my heart,
that leads me to believe.
An angel walks beside me,
I feel blessed everyday,
that the presence of this angel,
will never go away.
If I could turn the clock back
A year, and just one day.
I'd hold you in my arm's
and this is what i'd say
I love you Dad, your perfect,
as all good dads should be
you are my rock, my hero
your always there for me
I know you have a journey
a path that you must take
Sadly you'll be leaving
and all our hearts will break
But soon our hearts will blossom
and fill with love anew
for we will tread the same path
that brings us back to you
So till we meet again Dad
We pray that god above
will hold you in his arms for us
and pass on all our love
I cannot turn the clock back
I cannot be with you
But never should you doubt dad
The love we have for you
And now i'll light a candle
because a year ago today
I held a hero in my arms
as he quietly slipped away
Rest in peace
My Dad, my friend, my hero
Miss you so very very much
((((((((((((BIGug)))))))))))

Hi Grandad
This last year has gone so quickly and I still miss you everyday. Mum and Dad went to see Nanna today and I am going to take some time out of work tomorrow to go and have a drink for you and spend sometime just me and you.
I love you Grandad so so much and I miss you everyday. You will never be gone from our hearts but I know you are up there looking over us all.
Love you Grandad now and forever.

Miss you Roy
Lonely is home without you,
Life to us is not the same;
All the world would be like heaven,
If we could have you back again.
What he suffered he told very few,
He did not deserve what he went through,
Tired & weary he made no fuss,
But tried very hard to stay with us.
And with fond reflections,
On the times when you were near,
We smile at the memories,
Of what it was like to have you near.
Its been a year now, since we said goodbye,
Still miss you, love you & always will.
Love Maureen xxx
To My Dearest Family:
Some things I'd like to say
but first of all to let you know
that I arrived okay
I'm writing this from Heaven
where I dwell with God above
where there's no more tears
or sadness there
is just eternal love
Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight
remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night
That day I had to leave you
when my life on Earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said I welcome you
It's good to have you back again
you were missed while you were gone
as for your dearest family
they'll be here later on
I need you here so badly
as part of My big plan
there's so much that we have to do
to help our mortal man
Then God gave me a list of things
He wished for me to do
and foremost on that list of mine
is to watch and care for you
And I will be beside you
every day and week and year
and when you're sad
I'm standing there
to wipe away the tear
And when you lie in bed at night
the days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you
in the middle of the night
When you think of my life on Earth
and all those loving years
because you're only human
they are bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry
it does relieve the pain
remember there would be no flowers
unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you
of all that God has planned
but if I were to tell you
you wouldn't understand
But one thing is for certain
though my life on Earth is o're
I am closer to you now
than I ever was before
And to my very many friends
trust God knows what is best
I'm still not far away from you
I'm just beyond the crest
There are rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb
but together we can do it
taking one day at a time
It was always my philosophy
and I'd like it for you too
that as you give unto the World
so the World will give to you
If you can help somebody
who is in sorrow or in pain
then you can say to God at night
my day was not in vain
And now I am contented
that my life it was worthwhile
knowing as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile
So if you meet somebody
who is down and feeling low
just lend a hand to pick him up
as on your way you go
When you are walking
down the street
and you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind
And when you feel the gentle breeze
or the wind upon your face
that's me giving you a great big hug
or just a soft embrace
And when it's time for you to go
from that body to be free
remember you're not going
you are coming here to me
And I will always love you
from that land way up above
Will be in touch again soon
P.S. God sends His Love
A LETTER FROM HEAVEN
I'M WRITING THIS FROM HEAVEN
WHERE I DWELL WITH GOD ABOVE
WHERE THERE'S NO MORE
TEARS AND SADNESS
THERE'S JUST ETERNAL LOVE
WHEN YOUR WALKING DOWN THE STREET
AND YOU'VE GOT ME ON YOUR MIND
I'M WALKING IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS
ONLY HALF A STEP BEHIND
AND WHEN YOU FEEL THAT GENTLE BREEZE
OR THE WIND UPON YOUR FACE
THAT'S ME GIVING YOU
A GREAT BIG HUG
OR JUST A SOFT EMBRACE
AND WHEN IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GO
FROM THAT BODY TO BE FREE
REMEMBER YOUR NOT GOING
YOU ARE COMING HERE TO ME
Please look after Maureens Mum Dad and help the family and Roy through this bad time..
I love and miss you
