PAPA REMEMBER YOUR OR FAVOURITE XX
From The Bottom Of My Heart
Our papa has touched so many lives.He was life and soul of every party.He always kept all of us in
line and together as a family.I remember him telling every one of us we were his favorite.Family
holidays were always the best centre parks, blackpool, spain and of course not forgetting the
cruise. Papa always thought of his grandchildren, organising fire work displays in the garden and
parties in the co-co room with plenty singing and dancing.He passed on a little gift to all of us
and we will never forget... Miss u so much papa R.I.P xxx

If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
*´¨`*•.¸♥♥¸.•*´¨`*•. ¸♥¨`*•.¸♥♥¸
.•*´¨`*• .¸♥.•*´¨`*•.¸
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.

Now you're gone
We're left to carry on
Though the night seems twice as long
And here within my heart
I don't feel very strong
But we will meet again
Now you're gone
We're left to carry on
In the wind I hear your song
With every passing hour
I'm feeling more alone
But we will meet again
Someday…
Missing u xx
Papa its almost 3 months since u were taken from us and i miss u so much feels like a huge chunck of my life has died too still cant believe u have gone untill we meet again love lisa xxxxxxx
If luck is a raindrop i'd send you a shower
If hope is a minute, i'd send you an hour
If happiness is a leaf, i'd give you a tree
and if you need a friend
You'll always have me.

Although words seem to say so little,
I hope they help in some small way
to ease the sense of loss
that you’re experiencing today.
Hold fast to your memories
to all of the cherished moments
of the past,
to the blessings and the laughter,
the joys and the celebrations,
the sorrow and the tears.
They all add up to a treasure
of fond yesterdays
that you shared and spent together,
and they keep the one you loved
close to you in spirit and thought.
The special moments
and memories of your life
will never change.
They will always be in your heart
today and forever more.
In Sympathy
So sorry for your loss. Your story has touched my heart. My nan passed away in July and it feels like my whole world has been taken away. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God bless. I hope you find this poem of comfort, as I have done. x
What is Dying?
A ship sails and I stand watching till she fades on the horizon and someone at my side says 'She is gone'.
Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large now as when I last saw her. Her diminished size and total loss from my sight is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone there are others who are watching her coming over their horizon and other voices take up a glad shout 'There she comes!'
That is what dying is. An horizon and just the limit of our sight.
Lift us up, Oh Lord, that we may see further.
