God looked around his garden and found an empty place, he then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest, God's garden must be beautiful, he only takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain, he knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, so he closed your weary eyelids and whispered "peace be thine". It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone, for part of me went with you, the day God called you home. All my love, Vera X Our Dad Your battle is now over, no more tears flowing down your cheek, no more pain, no more suffering. Now you are no longer weak. We still do not understand why this has happened to you, but we are proud to say you are our dad, the greatest man we ever knew. You were always there for us and never made us cry, until the day you closed your eyes and had to say goodbye. Now you're our angel, so spread your wings out wide, please wrap them around us whenever you see us cry. Our time together was memorable and God took you way too fast, but the most precious thing to us was you being there for our first breath and us being there for your last. Love you always Ann, Bev, Julie, Bernadette X David, As far as father in law's go, we had the best! Sleep well Harold, Ste, Lee, Andy X Always in our hearts and memories, you meant so much to us all and always will. It's time to watch us from afar but you'll never be far away. Sleep in peace now grandad. Love you always, Naomi, Lisa, Marc, Matthew, Daniel and their partners X To the brightest star in the sky Great Grandad Dave/Little Grandad/Tiny Grandad Sleep tight, God Bless All our love, Tia, Anya, Freya, Jack, Phoebe and Myles X
