My Dad was born in Errill, County Laois May 1927. He worked for Iarnod Eireann (Railways) for
many years before he brought us to England in 1967. He worked in Trafford Park (Manchester),
Wales, Liverpool and finally Campbell and Armstrongs in Levenshulme, Manchester. Dad resided in
the Manchester area until his death in 2002.
Over the years Dad was involved in many accidents - and on one occasion he received the Last Rites.
Dad was a fighter and pulled through - something which happened many times over the years.
In 1983, Dad suffered his first stroke and was unable to work - this was a source of great distress
to this proud man. However, as was typical of my Dad, he didn't let it defeat him. He loved to
travel home to Errill, and he did this many times, staying with his sisters Kitty and Lucy and
visiting his sisters Molly and Peggy.
In the subsequent years Dad suffered many small strokes and two moderate strokes and as a result of
this, he was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia in 1996.
In 2002, Dad went missing for two days. It was a traumatic time for the whole family - no-one dared
to sleep until he was found. On his return he appeared fine, however, in the early hours of the
morning he took a fall and broke a rib. This resulted in a hospital admission. The very next day
and without any warning whatsoever, Dads demetia accelerated and he was unable to live
independently.
Dad passed away peacefully in a nursing home in 2002 and was buried in his beloved Errill. The
streets of Errill came to a standstill and the beautiful generous people of this village lined his
funeral route and welcomed him home.
My Dad was many things to me; but above all, he was a gentle man, with time for everybody and a
willingness to help those who needed it. He is sorely missed.
WE LOVE AND MISS YOU.........
I KNOW THE LORD DID NOT WANT YOU TO SUFFER ANYMORE
SO FOR YOU THE GATES OF HEAVEN WERE OPENED ONCE MORE
WHILE EACH AND EVERY ANGEL SANG AMAZING GRACE
HE HELD YOUR HAND AND TOOK YOU INTO HIS WARM EMBRACE
FOR NOW YOU REST WITH ALL THE ONES THAT YOU LOVE
IN GODS GARDEN IN HEAVEN SO FAR UP ABOVE
ONE DAY WE WILL ALL JOIN YOU THERE AT PEACE
ONLY THEN WILL OUR NEVER ENDING PAIN CEASE
FOR YOU ARE SO MISSED AND LOVE BY MANY WHO CARE
WE TURN AROUND AND STILL EXPECT TO SEE YOU STANDING THERE
ALTHOUGH WE KNOW YOU WATCH US ALL THE WAY YOU USED TO DO
ALWAY REMEMBER JUST HOW MUCH WE LOVE AND MISS YOU.....

My Dear Family xx
It's me again from Heaven
With a message from above
Feel my spirit all around you
As I sprinkle you with love...
***********
I have watched you, as your tears flow
I have heard your silent screams
I know you sleep with visions
Of me visiting your dreams...
***********
I have come and sat beside you
Placed my hands upon your face
Wiped away the many teardrops
I so wish I could erase...
***********
I have watched you every day now
Seen such pain within your eyes
I just wish that there were some way
I could help you realise...
***********
I am happy up in Heaven
In this peaceful loving place
Where I will be here waiting
To welcome you with my embrace...
***********
You will join me here in Heaven
When your time comes you’ll see
Leave your Earthly cares behind you
Travel on to where you’re free...
**********
I have heard you ask to go now
But there is more for you to do
I promise I'll be waiting
When your time on earth is through ...

SOMEONE WHO CARES
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.

β♥β GOODNIGHT AND GOD BLESS. β♥β
Sometimes when I'm very quiet
I can hear "The Flutter Of Your Wings"
The sound is like music to my ears
and it makes my heart sing.
β♥β
When loneliness and emptiness
bring not a sound to hear
You know exactly what I need
as you flutter past my ear.
β♥β
Sometimes when I'm very still
I can almost feel "The Flutter Of Your Wings"
Their feathery touch is like magic
and much peace and comfort it brings.
β♥β
When I am left with no one
to hug or hold on to
You gently wrap me in your wings
and your love I feel is true.
β♥β
Sometimes when I am all alone
and against the distant sky
I can almost see "The Flutter Of Your Wings"
It brings a tear of happiness to my eye.
β♥β
When I look around and find not a soul
who cares if I live or die
You flutter your wings up in the clouds
and I find comfort in the sky.
β♥β
You are my Guardian Angel
and when I hear, feel and see
This means you are close by my side
and are watching over me.
β♥β
Sometimes when I feel so alone
you remind me that I'm loved
My angel sent down from heaven
with much love from up above.
β♥β
The love and closeness I sense from you
is all the reassurance I need
That I am someone very special
and I will follow where you lead.

You Were The Pride Of Our Hearts":
"It's so difficult to let you go
Though death's left us no other choice
We're mourning the loss of never seeing you again
Of never hearing your precious voice
It seems that in life there are certain times
Which are more than "simply unfair"
When our hearts search out for better answers
But cannot seem to find them there
And such is the case at your passing
Contemplating the briefness of your life
All the great things that you still would have done
If you'd been granted a little more time
It isn't difficult to envision the possibilities
For look at what you'd already done
The difference you'd made in so many lives
In all that you had become
Perhaps you were simply too good for this life
So God called you back to Heaven
That your life needed no further testament
Than the goodness you'd already given
But regardless of the reason
For why you had to depart
We'll miss you every single day of our lives
For you were The Pride Of Our Hearts!
Thank you for being our example
Inspiring us through your courage and drive
We'll cherish all the precious memories
You lovingly created in our lives
Love, miss and thinking of you always and forever,
Sam, Gordon, Jimmy & Charlie xxxxx
MY FATHER
FOR MY FATHER I LOVE AND ADORE
NO-ONE COULD EVER LOVE YOU MORE
YOU GAVE ALL YOUR LOVE TO ME
I WILL MISS YOU FOR A ETERNITY
FOR MY WORLD STOOD STILL WHEN GOD CALLED YOU
FOR MY FATHER WAS NO LONGER WITH ME TELLING ME WHAT TO DO
PLEASE LOOK INTO MY EYES AND SEE ALL OF MY PAIN
FOR I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME PERSON AGAIN
I MISS YOUR GUIDING HAND SO VERY MUCH
I MISS YOUR SMILE AND YOUR GENTLE TOUCH
MY FATHER YOU WERE CALLED YOU TO FREE YOU FROM PAIN
WAIT FOR ME IN HEAVEN WHERE I WILL SEE YOU ONCE AGAIN
Written By Ros Roberts 2009
TAKE CARE OF MY FAMILY JUST LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO XXXX
If I could have a lifetime wish
a dream that would come true
I'd pray to God with all my heart
for yesterday and you.
A thousand words can't bring you back
I know because I've tried
And neither will a million tears
I know because I've cried.
You left behind my broken heart
and happy memories too
I never wanted memories...
I only wanted you.
Hi Dad, I am sorry that I haven't been able to come on here and light candles for you.. As you know Alan passed away on Thursday and my heart is broken. I have visions of the two of you up there having a good old chat about me and Neil..
Ros is looking after you and thats a big help. As soon as I can Dad I'll be back. In the meantime I will keep chatting to you every day and remembering you in my prayers. Love you always, Josephine x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
