My Dad was a fun guy, who loved his children very much. I didn't really apprecite him enough while
he was here and feel greatly sadened by this.
He was a volunteer for the National Trust in 1997-1998 and it was while working one day he hurt his
chest. He slipped and caught himself with a spade, causing himself to be winded for a short time.
Later that same day he bagan to cough up blood and was taken to hospital with chest pains. He had
tests and it was shortly after his 45th birthday on June 5th 97 he was diagnosed with Lung Cancer.
He was very brave during the next 15 months while having treatment, even after christmas when he was
told the cancer had spread to his brain, he wouldn't let on to us how he scared he felt. Love you
Dad forever xxxxxx

BEAUTIFUL ANGEL OF THE SKY
IN OUR HEARTS YOU DID NOT DIE
THE LORD TOOK YOU INTO HIS EMBRACE

NOW YOU ARE FREE TO FLY SO HIGH

TO LET YOUR FAMILY KNOW YOU ARE STILL AROUND
FOR I WILL KEEP YOU SAFE IN HEAVEN WITH ME

THAT IS WHERE YOUR SPIRIT WILL LIE
SWEET LTTLE ANGEL OF THE SKIES
JUST SEE HOW HIGH AN ANGEL FLYS......

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

xxxxx love always xxxxx

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.

Hi Dad xx

I know your probably stood next to me as I write this, and I truely hope you are. I never really told you how much you meant to me and how grateful I am to you for helping me to become the woman I am today. You never got to see your Grandchildren as I didn't have that blessing until you had passed over. Well, it's been 10 long years and I miss you so much. Your laugh, your smile and most of all your love.

Love you so much Dad. XXXX
