My Grandad was the best, I was very close to him, ever since I was little i saw him nearly every
friday, it was our day with him, now my fridays arent going 2 be the same. He was my only
grandparent i had grown up wiv from being 12. I am so going 2 miss him, life's not going 2 be the
same without him. He used 2 love winding me up wanting to send me on one way tickets away, and i
used 2 constantly wind him up. we had such a close relationship. I loved him so much and really
going to miss him. As he was 98 when he died he always since i was small said he was not going
anywhere till he'd reached 100 with his letter from the queen and we all thought he was going 2 do
it as well. but sadly his heart couldnt cope and we lost him. R.I.P Grandad, we all loved u very
much.

gods garden
God looked into his garden,
and saw an empty space,
he looked down upon our earth,
and saw your tired face,
he put his arms around you,
and lifted you to rest,
gods garden is so beautiful,
cos he only takes the best. xx

I am home in heaven, dear ones;
Oh so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.

Did you wonder how I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.

And he came himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remains,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!



BLESSINGS ..Myra xx huggs

To My Family

As The Sun Came Up This Morning
I Watched You There Below
Your Hearts Seemed Oh So Heavy
But There’s Something You Should Know

I’m Not Gone So Don’t Worry
I’m Just A Step Ahead
And I’m With You Every Single Day
As You Rise Up From Your Bed

I Am The Sun That Warms You
I Am The Moon’s Soft Glow
I Am The Stars That Twinkle
And Light Your Path Below

So When At Times You Miss Me
Just Look For Me I’m There
For You Cannot Hide My Spirit
It Is With You Everywhere.

My dear grandad,

Me and mum visited your grave today and we both found it really hard with the fact that you are there and not at home.
Its been exactly four weeks since me and mum both saw you, moaning about your fish and chips having no salt and vinegar on them and the care assistants not bringing you any breakfast or cups of tea and sadly you forgot they had brought any drinks to you that day, but you had forgotten and then couldnt read your watch,but grandad when we left you we could never of imagined that, that was the last time we would ever see you alive or talk to you again, I get really upset thinking about our last ever conversation. I miss you so much and so does mum. R.I.P. I love you so much.xxx

Memorial Poem

We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still.

There will always to be a heartache, and often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory of the days when you were here.
If tears would make a staircase, and heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven and bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts; and there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

My Family

MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO.

When i come to the end of the road
and the sun has set for me,
I want no tears in a gloom filled room.
Why cry for a soul se free?

Miss me a little, but not too much,
and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that once we shared,
Miss me but let me go.

This is a journey we all must take
and each must take it alone;
It's all a part of gods perfect plan,
a step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart
go to the friends we know.
Bury your sorrows in doing good,
Miss me but let me go.

Karen Heathcote Byron Hudson (Family Friend) February 21, 2009

Those we love dont go away
they walk beside us
everyday


No longer in our lives to
share
But in our hearts your always
there.
