Words are not enough.
Just wanted you to know I'm going to miss you.
I'm so grateful for having known you.you where one of those rare people that come into lives and from the first time when I met you, I left thinking. I like that guy. You where always smiling and fun to be aroud, you where much loved by your wife children and grandchildren. At times you where an inspiration for me, .
You will be sadly missed, by all. Especially the way that you phoned on birthday s and other accations with a song that said something message that would be remembered by all. There are so many songs that will be forevermore played, and remind us of you. Play well with the Angeles, there music will be all the more.thank you for all the happy memories.
God bless you.
Untill we meet again.

Those hands, so big and strong
Picked me up when I went wrong
Tucked me in to bed at night
Protected me and held me tight

Those hands, they taught me to
Tie my shoes and as I grew
Helped me reach up for the sky
Gave me wings and helped me fly

Those hands were trembling when
You walked me down the aisle and then
So caring, gentle and so mild
When they first caressed my child

Those hands, how did they age?
With the turning of each page
Bent and sore and feeble now
I don’t know when, I don’t know how

Those hands, now rest in mine
Their strength and warmth in steep decline
The tears are stinging at my eye
As they wave their last goodbye

Those hands, I’ll miss them so
Its breaks my heart to see them go
Though they’re not here to dry my tears
They’ll hold my heart throughout my years

It was Tuesday 22nd, first day back to school, sitting in Chemistry when I got the call. Walking to the car thinking my father had been daft. Next thing we know were on track to see you. 2 hours of panic, worry and fear, sitting in the car with you on our mind! We arrive at the doors and up to the wards, to find you were still with us and we could see you again. The hours passed, my dad and sisters had gone home and left me with mum. It was lovely to see your warm smile through all that was going on. We stayed late that night and I held your hand said goodnight and let you know I love you. The long night had passed but before we knew it we were here with you again. Our final hours with you spent that morning, thank you for the memories and the time you gave to us. Thank you for always smiling and making us happy every second we were with you. Wednesday the 23rd you took your last breath. It all happens so quickly. You're a remarkable and strong person and I am thankful you hung in for us to see you that one more time. I kissed you on the cheek and that's when we left. We are sad that we will not see you for a while. But I learnt an important lesson from my experience in this short amount of time. Sitting in your bedroom later that day but I was not alone, I couldn't see you, I couldn't hear you but you let me know you were there. It was a feeling stronger than any I had felt before, people may think I'm crazy but I know you were letting me know you are here still. And although you cannot be here in your body, and we cannot see your smile, you are with us now, closer than ever before. It may not be that you are in the same room or sitting next to us, it may only be that you are looking over us. This does not stop the fact that for the rest of our lives we can feel every single day the love that you feel for us, your smile, your laugh, your happy personality that made you the amazing grandad you were and still are! You never left us that day, you simply went home and you went to see your family. I feel you now everyday and I know you will be here whenever any of us call. I am so unbelievably thankful that I could see you that last time and that I know you are always with us. And I know that this is not where it ends and I will see you again in the future. I love you grandad, thank you! x x x
