Christopher Cahill (14 Nov 1937 - 6 Apr 2015)

We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
And days before that too.
We think about you in silence,
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our hearts.

Love and miss you,

Patricia, Richard, Sharna, Jamie, Lewis & Evie

To My Dearest Dad,

I have so many fond memories like the time you hid behind the wall with a big mountain of snowballs ready to get me on the way home from school! When I use to rush home at lunchtime to play darts with you, your love of motorbikes, nice cars and your wonderful painting skills which you taught and passed on so well.
I really miss your beautiful smile, I will try to be brave and strong as we're you, it's still hurts today that you have gone.
Love you lots and lots
Your loving daughter

Grandad,

You have always been there for Me, welcomed Mark and cherished Orla-Mai. I have so many fond memories in the time we've spent together and I will never let go of them, even though today, I have had to let go of you.

From chasing me up the stairs pretending to be a tiger to in depth conversations about Pensions and Cars .. I've loved it all because I love you. So so much. You have always been there to celebrate and acknowledge my achievements with jobs, qualifications and most importantly (to both of us) my car upgrades. For me the best achievement I could possibly have accomplished is to give you a great grandchild and to share those all important first two years of her growing up with you. Orla-Mai will always know who Grandad is and how important he was/is to all of us. And that to me is priceless.

We love you so much Grandad, sleep tight

Emma, Mark and Orla-Mai

Dear Mr Cahill
Over the past year you have been constantly on our mind from the first day you were taken ill to the sad day we heard you had lost your long battle to regain your health. We have followed with much affection and awe your fortitude when faced with insurmountable obsticles and yet still managed to smile! We am proud to call your daughter and son in law our friend's and hope in the near future to visit their beloved Venice with them. We were so pleased to be able to visit you in hospital and share a little of your time it was a very special memory for us and one which we will look back with fondness on. So chic we will raise a toast to a very special gentle man when we get to Venice untill then enjoy your port.
