Age: 50 years and too young
My darling dad you passed away far too soon at the young age of 50 years. You were the kindest Dad anyone could wish for. Richard, Gwen and I, your three devoted children felt cheated when you were taken away from us on that terrible day. It was to be your 51st birthday in a few days how could that be! You had been ill for a little while but no one really knew how serious because you never made a fuss about anything. You were so selfless and always though of others first. You were our role model our hero and our Dad all rolled into one. What a standard for us to live up to Dad! You were such a clever man, and if you told me anything, it was fact and if a book told me different then the book was wrong! You were everything to me Dad. You also was a dear granddad, to my Darren and Keely and Gwen's Leeanne at the time. As you know your Granddad role has grown too.
You are the best Dad ever. No-one could ever take your place. You played jokes on us and laughed with us and was so very kind.
I miss you Dad.
We thought of you today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought of you yesterday
And will tomorrow, too.
We think of you in silence
And make no outward show.
For what it meant to lose you
Only those who love you know.
Remembering you is easy,
We do it everyday.
It's the heartache of losing you
That will never go away.

Dad
Hi dad cant stay long cos my eyes are dropping out I am so tired. Well we went to the memorial in staffford today to see Darren's name unveiled, It was so very very sad. Had a chat with Prince Charles though and he is sponsoring us for the walk. ha ha. Love you my sweet sweet dad. XXX
Dad, I bought my walking boots yesterday ready for the walk in July. 100 miles is not to be sniffed at and I had to get some proper boots. Cant have blisters!!!! I did the 9 miles on Sunday with Dannielle and Gwen that was good. On monday though Dannielle was so stuff she couldnt walk!!! and I didnt have any aches or pains haha. The youngsters today!! ha ha. She is on her hols with Matt at mo. They went today. I am worried cos the last time she went away she had that road accident. Still Matt will look after her I am sure. I miss her so much. This house is so empty in the week with just me in it!!! Anyway, Im just off for my 4 miles daily walk!! Love you so much Dad. Miss you like nothing on earth. XXXXX
Dad it was Darrens birthday yesterday and we went down to the crem tro celebrate with him. I came to see you too. I wish there was more for you down at the crem so I could sit with you too. But I am sure you joined us with darren anyway. I hope you were keeping an eye on those army lads up there whist they were celebrating as I know how rowdy they can get.... harmless but rowdy ha ha. Love you dad. look after darren for me. XXXX
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.
I miss you so Dad!!
Memories
Hi Dad, I was at mum's at the weekend and spend lots of quality time with her. We looked through old photo's and she gave me some of them. it was lovely to disappear into my memories and the past for a little while. There were pics of you and the family and there were pics of you and Darren and Keely. We spent 4 hours just looking at old photos. I miss you so much my dear darling dad. Look after Darren for me, he is my life,along with Kee, Claire and Dannielle. Its impossible to live without him here. God bless you dad. Big kisses XXXX

Love you dad
Hi Dad, Its been tough here as you know. I know you are with me cos I have been told you are. I was also told that you are proud of me, but dad not as proud as I am to be your daughter. I will always look up to you, you are my inspiration. I feel though dad. that since Darren joined you I have been given a strength I didnt know I had, I am sure it is coming from my Darren. Keep him safe dad. He has lots of mates there with him too, so do try and keep them in check, just like you did with us kids. It was good for us, it made us the repectful people we are today. Thank you my darling Dad. I love you and miss you so very much. hug darren for me please. I miss him so much dad. I would swap places with him in a heartbeat. I want hijm to have his young life back. XXXX
