Michael William Smith (15 Sep 1945 - 3 Feb 2017)

Mick, those special memories of you will always bring a smile, if only we could have you back just for a while. Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do, you always meant so very much and always will do too. To think you are not longer here will always cause us pain but you’re forever in our heart ❤️ until we meet again. Can’t believe a year has gone so fast, love you always, Michelle xxx

Grandad, how has it been a year already since you was taken from us! A whole year ago that we sat with you holding your hand, hoping and praying that you would open your eyes and wouldn't leave us! Losing you has been the hardest thing I have ever had to cope with and its something I will never be able to get over. It has been a really tough year and I can't see it ever getting any easier without you grandad, you meant the world to me, the only man that has been there for me all my life! You really are the best grandad I could have ever asked for and we all looked up to you! I love you and miss you so so much grandad, you will always be in my thoughts and heart xxxxxxxxx 💔💔💔💔

It’s a year today Grandad the angels came for you. Why do they always take the best,as you was and always will be the best grandad I could have ever wished for. I cherish everything you did for me and you was always there for me. Love and miss you so much grandad.
Night night 😢💔 xxxxxxx

Hi Mick, yes it’s been a while, one year in fact but I have been thinking about you regularly. You have left such a large hole in mine and your families lives which will never ever be filled and we are all struggling massively to cope and come to terms with you sadly leaving us.
Leon and me both miss our trips to watch Derby County with you, so as gesture of respect we will be going this year to watch them and i’m sure you too will be there willing them to win.
Rest in peace Mick, all my thoughts and love Andy xx.

03.02.17 at 6pm was when my world shattered, my heart broke and life changed. Losing you Dad has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with, I can’t believe it’s a year today we lost you, half of me went with you when you took your final breath. You left too soon, you had so much to live for, god why did you have to go!!! Not a day goes by where I don’t think about you Dad. You was the most caring and thoughtful person, you would do anything for anyone and you was always there for me. You wasn’t just my dad you was my best friend. I thank you for everything you have done for me. I am so proud to call you my dad ..
Love and miss you so much Dad 💔😢💔

Reliving this last week feels like I have lost you all over again dad... one whole year without you...it has been so upsetting lonely confusing and unbelievable 😢 So much has happened and so many times I've wanted to talk to you or just to come and see you. Just the simple things I miss like how many refillable coffees we cud get through when we went out for dinner- I miss your advise ur sense of humour.... I just took everything for granted....you were the most kind thoughtful generous and loving dad i could have ever wished for. Not only have I lost my dad I've lost my best friend too. I love you so much dad and miss you even more 😢. Xxx💔xx

A year ago today you broke our hearts Mick when you left us and life will never be the same again. Our house no longer feels like a home, it is so empty, quiet and lonely without you. Life is now just full of memories of many things especially when Julie, David and Sharon were born, watching them grow and having their families and of all the brilliant parties we have had over the years and the lovely holidays we went on. I am so grateful though for us having over 50 years together, we had good times and bad, happy and sad times but we got through them all together Mick. I'll love and miss you forever Mick. Until we are together again Night Night and God Bless xxx💔💔💔xxx

how is it a year already grandad. the horrible day that your machines were turned off and I sat and held your hand while you took your last breath. you really did try to stay with us but your wings were ready. I miss you every single day and love you so much. the only man that's ever been there for me through my life. My grandad 💔💔💔💔 I love you xxxxxxxxxxxx

a year ago today....... the very last time that I had a conversation with you, the last time I saw you smile and the last time that I gave you a kiss and said bye to you. not knowing that I would never get to do this again as you went into hospital that night. I miss you so much grandad. really hope you're watching over us all. I love you xxx xxx

I got my keys to my house grandad , I’ve been really busy moving stuff into it , but there’s only one thing I could wish for most and that’s for you to come and see it grandad😭 but ino you would be proud to see me working hard for it❤️ I love and miss you so much💔 xxxxxx

2017 has nearly ended and it’s been the worst year of our life’s... losing you Dad has been the hardest thing we have had to deal with 💔😢😢💔 I hope you are watching over us all.. Love and miss you so much 💔😢💔

Grandad 2017 is over and what a tough year it has been for us all, and as we hope for a better year in 2018 i know this will not happen as you're not here with us! I miss you and love you more than you will ever know, you are always in my thoughts and heart grandad now and forever xxxxxxxxx

2017...... what a rubbish year grandad and as we go into 2018 it isn't going to get any better without you here. love you and miss you so much xxxxxxxxx

Well Mick 2017 is coming to an end. If only we had known this time last year that we only had a few weeks left with you, we could have said so many special things to you, but we never got the chance. If you are still with us Mick, wherever that may be, you will know how much you were loved and still are. It still hurts so much without you Mick. God bless miss you and love you. xx💔💞💔xx
