My Dad was a great man. He was a loving husband to Joyce and Father of seven children. He and my Mum
were two halves of a whole each dependant on the other, they had seven children Julie, Ann, Susan,
Shelia, Alan, Barbara and me Karen. He had 22 grand children and now many great grand children are
arriving. He loved family.
He was a Husband, Father, Gentleman, a friend. He would do anything for anyone if he could.
He worked for Lucas Birmingham from the age of 14 apart from time in the Parachute regiment in WW2.
He enjoyed to travel and would have travelled the world had time allowed. He retired at 62 having
worked for Lucas all his life.
We only became aware anything was wrong when we were told he was going into hospital for a
'small' operation..he was in for six weeks...he wouldn't say what was wrong, we were
not really allowed to discuss it with him, we know now he wanted to protect us..I think we all knew
it was cancer but we couldn't mention that word.
He came out of hospital and slowly began to recover and seemed back to his normal self..but he had
no follow up like chemo or anything and that always played on my mind, then just before his 74th
birthday he was back in hospital..another operation..but this time he was home quicker..he never
said anything again, we know now why. At this time Mum was in great pain and awaiting a hip
replacement..then suddenly her operation got bought forward..great we thought...but again now we
know why. She has her operation in July 1998, and Dad suddenly went down hill, he could walk up to
the ward to see Mum and we had to get him a chair....Mum came home and by this time Dad was bed
ridden..we called in the GP who advised we move another bed downstairs..Mum was already downstairs
as she wasn't allowed to climb stairs yet.
There were seven of us and we told turns caring for them but the GP called in the district nurses to
help and then the nurses from St Mary's hospice. Dad was put on a morphine pump..I think this
was the 1st time we realised his life was reaching its end. He passed away in the early hours of 1st
August 1998..that day my heart was broken in two.

If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.
If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.
If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.
♥♥ With Love ♥♥

Where is Heaven?
Is it somewhere in outer space?
Where does my loved one now dwell?
In some far and distant place?
Heaven is all around you...
It's as close as the air and love that surround you.
Heaven is everywhere... it's not just in the skies,
It's a spiritual dimension that can't be seen
Through human eyes.
How do I know my loved one is safe?
How do I know they are well?
How do I know they made it to Heaven?
Is there any way I can tell?
Your loved one is well in Heaven because
They're surrounded by God's love and care,
And I can promise you they made it to Heaven,
Because an angel guided them there!
Is there any way I can tell them how
Much they meant (and still mean) to me?
I'm not sure how to contact them, do you?
Know what Heaven's address can be?
Just talk... and know that they hear you,
Because you'll never be truly apart.
And Heaven's address? Well that's simple...
Just send thoughts care of your heart
Garden In Heaven
There Was A Special Garden In Heaven
Waiting For Someone As Wonderful As You
So, The Master Took Your Hand
And Gave You Eternal Life, Brand New
The Angels, We Can Hear Them Singing
Small Children Are Telling Jesus The News
There Is A New Rose In Heaven
Picked By God, That Precious Rose Is You
It’s Hard For Us To Let You Go
To Realize Your Life On Earth Is Through
But We’re Thankful For All The Memories
Seeds Of Love, Planted In Our Hearts
By A Man Who's Life Was Honest And True!
It hurts
I SAID, “GOD I HURT,”
AND GOD SAID, “I KNOW,
”
I SAID, “GOD I CRY A LOT”
AND GOD SAID, “THAT IS WHY I GAVE YOU TEARS,
”
I SAID,”GOD I AM SO DEPRESSED”
AND GOD SAID, “THAT’S WHY I GAVE YOU SUNSHINE,
”
I SAID “GOD LIFE IS SO HARD”
AND GOD SAID,”THAT’S WHY I GAVE YOU LOVED ONES,
”
I SAID,”GOD MY LOVED ONE DIED”
AND GOD SAID “SO DID MINE,
”
I SAID, “GOD IT IS SUCH A LOSS”
AND GOD SAID”I SAW MINE NAILED TO A CROSS,
”
I SAID,”BUT GOD, YOUR LOVED ONE LIVES,”
AND GOD SAID “SO DOES YOURS,”
I SAID “GOD WHERE ARE THEY NOW?”
AND GOD SAID “MINE IS ON THE RIGHT AND YOURS IS IN THE LIGHT,”
I SAID “GOD IT HURTS”
AND GOD SAID “I KNOW”
