Tributes For Week Starting 16th November
FOR MONDAY
Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our life to share,
But in our hearts you’re always there.
FOR TUESDAY
I sit and wonder every day,
Why the Lord chose to call you away,
I think He saw you needed rest,
He only takes the very best.
FOR WEDNESDAY
Everyday in some small way,
Memories of you come our way,
Though absent, you are always near,
Still missed, loved, always dear.
FOR THURSDAY
Resting where no shadows fall,
In peaceful sleep he awaits us all;
God will link the broken chain,
When one by one we meet again.
FOR FRIDAY
Surrounded by friends
Yet all alone
The one I loved
God has called home
The hugs of friends
Helps ease the pain
And I know my loss
Is my loved one's gain
But tears now flow
Across my face
As I long for just
One more embrace
Then comfort comes
And I see Christ's face
He hugs my loved one
And I feel God's grace.
FOR SATURDAY
Please don't sing sad songs for me,
Forget your grief and fears,
For I am in a perfect place
Away from pain and tears...
It's far away from hunger
And hurt and want and pride,
I have a place in Heaven
With the Master at my side.
My life on earth was very good,
As earthly life can go,
But Paradise is so much more
Than anyone can know..
.
My heart is filled with happiness
And sweet rejoicing, too.
To walk with God is perfect peace,
A joy forever new.
FOR SUNDAY
When I come to the end of the day
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not too long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love we once shared,
Miss me but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the maker's plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds -
Miss me, but let me go.

almost your birthday Da!
Well I'm not sure who is going to open your pressies you can let Shaun have a shot but make sure he knows its only until I'm there as you know it was my favourite part of your day and I know it annoyed the life out of everyone that you wouldn't open their gifts until I came in, I suppose that is the joys of being the baby of the family. Aye 86 you would be and I'm sure you would've been here if it wasn't for the bloody Mesothelioma asbestos cancer, folk have a sin to answer for, all the families that have lost their nearest and dearest with this awful thing, I miss you so much for all your words of wisdom and love you gave to us all and I know mum misses you so much too she's had a ruff time of it lately, please look out for Colin just now he really needs you, make sure Jono is his Angel he misses him to the point of self distruct I know he is really hurting and misses both of you very badly.
Anyway I will be on to leave you your birthday presents on Tuesday as usual all my love always Fiona & kids & Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The man in my life xxx
Dad there were only 2 real men in my life that I loved with all my heart, 1 is you and the other was Shaun and he is with you. Please take care of him I'm sure the two of you are having a right good blether.
You always said
" God will only put in your path what you can handle!"
" if you can't handle it then it is to make you stronger for what is still to come" well da Iv'e had more than my fair share so it's time to make someone else a bit stronger! "that doesn't mean I'm at my strongest but I have no fight left in me! it's draining so much!
Mum's strong but needs to be stronger in her condition so please watch over her for a while cos she is going know where soon if I have anything to do with it! when God took you he took the rock from you and gave it to Mum so I kinda need her if you know what I mean. All the kids miss you loads Conor still talks about you, and your brown eyed girl Lucy lui, she only has eyes for you! There is no introduction for Georjo she rules everything so sorry you didn't get to met her but I know you would have loved the socks off her, her patter never stops a bit like you Haha!! Hope that Jono is behaving himself too and give Katherina a kiss from us all too. Love, Hugs, and kisses for everyone Daddie sGirl Fiona xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
