My kind, gorgeous, lovely Dad
I remember all the things you used to say,
The way you could wipe my tears away.
I remember all the times we shared,
And I knew you were the only person who cared.
I remember always looking up to you,
When I needed advice, I knew yours was true.
Now, when I need help, I don't know what to do;
As fate would have it, I'm living life without you.
I know it's not just me you left,
And the pain I feel I just can't confess.
Our family, our loved ones, all hurt too;
We now no what its like to be without you.
I Love You Dad and miss you so much!

Tributes are for family & friends but by all means please light a candle!
For the best Grandad ever xx
As the winds slowly start sweeping the days,
I look back on my life through a purple haze,
Thinking about those playgrounds, parks and friends,
In childlike gaze that never ends.
Running after each other in a game of catch,
Shall memories ever attach..
To that innocence in my youthful eyes,
Catching the ball to my Grandad's surprise.
I remember the first time i fell on that sand,
it was you who was there, who held my hand,
Convincing me to give that one more try,
While, knees skinned, I forgot to cry.
Just the fact that you were there,
Made me forget my worries and conquer that fear.
There was nothing i felt, i couln't conquer
With you by my side my confidence grew stronger.
The growing up years were kind of rough,
I was sure i wasen't too big or tough.
You taught me to defend myself when i was right,
even if that meant not backing down from a fight.
I learnt the hard way to stand,
Still, if i slipped, i found your hand.
You just gave me an inner strength,
with stubborn pride of equal length.
But then that line of fate was drawn,
As though i blinked and you were gone.
My eyes were blinded by a void inside,
I could not believe that you had died.
Finding this reality too hard to be true,
I realised that i could do nothing without you.
Please, grandad, today just hear my call,
I'm sorry that i dropped the ball.
My life is in a mess, my knees are skinned,
My emotions are now undisciplined.
I can't get up although i try,
Please don't be upset if now i cry.
Though i can't fight with what i can't see,
Please, Grandad, say you're still proud of me.
Love you Grandad more than words can say xxxxxxxx Leah xxxxxxxx
The Best Grandad ever! xxxxx

Just a little poem for you xx
God saw that he was getting tired,
A cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around him
and whispered, "Come with Me."
With tearful eyes, we watched him suffer,
And saw him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly,
We could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes "the best".
Miss you xxx
I missed you so much on Fathers Day!
Dad yesterday was crap with you not here, we all did flowers and stuff but it is so not the same as having a joke and laughing with you. I got upset saturday because I still have to buy cards for Benn and Brian and I came across cards to Dad from your daughter well that was it I cried lots in the middle of Bluewater. I know you said no more tears but at times like this I am sorry Dad but it just aint possible. I can still hear you voice when I want because I have it recorded but you say the same thing every time (I just wish you would say something else)!!!!!!!!
I hope you had a Happy Fathers Day in heaven miss and love you forever Dad you were the best in the whole wide word!!!!(Just as I always used to write when you was here.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We missed you Sweetheart...
Father's Day will never be the same again. Love You - Miss You - Need You.
All my love forever and ever. Su xXx
Soooooo Sorry...
Hi Gary - I'm so sorry I haven't been here for a while but the computer's only gone and got a strop on and refuses to work. Hoping to get it sorted soon.
Thank you to family and friends for visiting you and lighting candles.
I was so very, very sad to let you go last week Babe, it's just not the same at home without you. Not sleeping so well again - it was such a comfort knowing you were there beside me. But I do hope you like your final resting place - it's so peaceful there and somewhere the kids can come and talk to you whenever they want to.
Glen played in a football match in memory of you on Saturday - and boy is he suffering now!! Knew he would, he promised only to play 10 mins but of course he's so like you, very competitive, he played the whole first half. At least they drew which was brill, as they were up against a team half their age!! You would have have been so proud of them all. Not sure yet how much they have raised for the hospice but I would imagine a good few quid. That will so help the hospice to give the care and respect to others that was shown to you.
Still missing you so very much Sweetheart, more and more and more every day. Loving you forever.
Your sad and lonely wife. Su xXx

Sorry it's took this long......
Hello Gary,
Im really sorry it's taken me a long time to write something. Im not too sure what to say still??
All i know is that we all miss u every minute of everyday!
Still have to sometimes remind myself that you won't be in when i come home and that i can't ring you for your advice!
Im still so angry that you were taken from us, you were an unbelievable person and sitting here listening to your music the tears are streaming down my face!
Im angry that Mum is empty and will never be the same without you! When they say 'Soul Mates' they are talking about you and Mum.
I will come back very soon.
I miss u so much.
Love u always
