Harry passed away on 22nd may 2005 aged 61,sadly this was on his eldest daughter Alisons
birthday.Harry worked as a foreman painter and decorator for Thistle Hotels (he was the best in his
field) he took pride in his work and enjoyed what he did.My dad worked away a lot,in the late 70s he
worked in Germany and was asked to move out there but my mam said no she couldnt leave her mam and
her special children.While my dad worked for Thistle Hotels he was in London which he loved(SO THE
TEMPLATE OF TOWER BRIDGE IS PERFECT.)he used to take my mam down to London with him sometimes and
they'd do my mams favourite thing,hit the shops.As much as he loved London my dads heart was in
Leeds,he followed Leeds united all his life,he was buried with a Leeds top draped over his coffin
and the old white with blue and yellow stripes scarf.He was born in leeds and grew up in Torre Hill
ls9,later he moved to Belle Isle when his wife Carole moved with her job.Carole passed away aged 48
in 1994 and my dad never got over this she was the love of his life .My dad was known to his friends
as "H" and he enjoyed a laugh and used to drive my mam mad with practical jokes,he was known to
have a joke at work with the lads too they were like a group of kids.My dad loved his family and
adored his grandchildren Ben,Jessica,Jack,Rosie,Joshua and greatgrandchildren Harry"little H" and
Brandon who sadly he never got to meet.My dad was massively in to his music you could ask him
anything about a song or a singer and he would know the answer,his record collection is vast and now
belongs to me,when i was younger i would listen to my dads records while he was at work and then
sneak them back like id never touched them and as long as i was carefull and didnt do any damage to
the cover or the vinyl i thought he would never know(SILLY ME LOL)one day he was listening to
Brenda Lee one of my favourites from his collection,i was doing a crossword on the other side of the
room and was singing away not missing a word,"I thought you said you havnt touched my records Jo","i
havnt" i said my dad started to smile and said "thats funny then ,isnt it how you know all the words
to every song" .my singing had caught me out my mam was laughing her heart out i'd been busted.He
laughed and said "at least you've got taste."
My dad went in to hospital to
have fluid drained from his body which he had done on a few visits but this time was different as
while he was there he contracted MRSA and suffered very badly for quite a while before sadly losing
his battle.The devastation i felt at the prospect of losing another parent could never be put into
words,when i was growing up i never thought i would have to sit and hold my mam and dads hand while
they passed but i have had to do this with both and it is the hardest thing i've ever done.I miss my
mam and dad every day and hope they have been reunited,its only that thought that gives me comfort
.God Bless you and may perpetual light shine upon you both love you
always.xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox.If you have taken the time to read my
Dads eulogy ,please take the time to light him a candle,Thank You.oxo

.'Christmas in Heaven'

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
with tiny lights like heaven's stars reflecting on the snow.
.
The sight is so spectacular please wipe away that tear
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
.
I have no words to tell you of the joy their voices bring
for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.
.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
.
I can't tell you of the splendor or the peace here in this place
Can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face to face?
.
I'll ask him to lift your spirit as I tell you of your love
so then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.
.
Please let your hearts be joyful and let your spirit sing
for I am spending Christmas in heaven and I'm walking with the King.

ANGEL WINGS YOU WEAR...♥ღ♥


The day you left broke our hearts
and the tears fell like rain,
but knowing that you now have wings
helps to ease the pain.

♥ღ♥

We know now when the snow falls
it is Angel dust from you
and when we see a shooting star
our Angel just passed through.
♥ღ♥

The rain drops do not make us sad
for they are not tears,
but sprinkles of love falling down,
our Angel again is near.
♥ღ♥

The winter cold has even changed,
Jack Frost no longer exists,
it's now a visit from our Angel
and he's left a special gift.
♥ღ♥

You also visit in the night,
your wings flutter with grace,
we know now when we awaken
that an Angel has kissed our face.
♥ღ♥

When the days are warm and bright
and the sun shines from above,
we feel the warmth wrap around us,
you've given an Angel hug.
♥ღ♥

You are with us at all times,
every day and night,
you try to end the pain we have
and the tears that we still cry.
♥ღ♥

Though Heaven is your home now
and Angel wings you wear,
you stay close to those you love,
until they join you there.
♥ღ♥

~MISSING YOU~

♥.•** •.♥.•** •.♥.♥ ♥ ♥.•** •.♥.•** •.♥.♥ ♥

We may no longer be together
As you're not here with me anymore
But I still feel you deep in my heart
Just the same as it was before.

When I gaze up at Heaven to you
And you look down on me
Our smiles light up the whole sky
For all of Heaven and Earth to see.

Knowing that you are at peace
Brings comfort to my sad heart
And I know God will take care of you
Now that we are apart.

Until we are together again
And sharing our heavenly home
I will always have my Angel in Heaven
Smiling down on me, and never be alone...

♥.•** •.♥.•** •.♥.♥ ♥ ♥.•** •.♥.•** •.♥.♥ ♥

They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something,
So there won’t be any doubt,
You’re so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.
We cannot bring the old days back,
When we were all together,
The family chain is broken now,
But memories live forever.

*******************
For you with love
*******************

Precious is the gift of life
be it short or be it long.
Just like a budding flower
or like the morning dew.
A person born to this earth
is remembered with love.

As they pass into heaven above
that doesnt mean we forget.
Even if they never took a breath
upon this earth.
They have a place our heart
Forever we will remember them.

Every morning that we wake
we have the gift of light.
Every night before we sleep
we see our shining stars.
With every breath that we take
we smell the fresh new air.

When the time has come for us
to take our final journey.
We will not be scared of going alone
as you will be waiting to hold our hand.
Reunited with our angels forever
in love and perfect peace.

All my dear friends and angels this will be my last tribute untill I return in late January. I want to thank you all for all the support that you have given to me and for all the lovely candles tributes and photos which you have given to my angels.
You and your angels will be with me in my heart always, for all the angels who have a special day that I will miss I send you extra love. I want to wish you all a peaceful xmas and new year and to thank everyone for looking after my angels while I cant, also if possible could you visit my mum on her birthday (23rd Nov) and light her candle.

Love always Dawn x x x x

I see you in the evening
and the darkness of the night.
You're with me in the morning,
when all the world is bright.
I feel you in a breeze,
like a tender warm embrace;
I feel you when a snowflake
falls softly on my face.
I hear you when it thunders
and the world seems at an end;
I hear you whisper softly,
'One day your heart will mend'.
I hear you in a bird song
the humming of the bees.
Your voice is strong and vibrant
in the waves of stormy seas.
I see, I feel, I hear you,
you're there in all I do,
guiding and protecting,
until my life is through.

.☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆ * ☆ * .☆ * ☆ * ☆ * ☆ *☆

I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.

Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?

We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.

So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring.

There is a place in every heart,
They call it Memory Lane,
Where thoughts of loved ones lost
Forever will remain.

God made this special place
When He first created man,
For He knew it would be needed,
As part of our life's plan.

He knew when loved ones left us,
We'd need some time to heal,
To come to terms with sorrow
And the loneliness we'd feel.

So when you lose a loved one
And your life is filled with pain,
The comfort of their presence
Will be found in Memory Lane.

♥;;♥ ♥;;♥♥;;♥ ♥;;♥;;♥;;♥ ♥;;♥;;♥;;♥

As the sun came up this morning
I watched you there below
Your hearts seemed oh, so heavy
But theres something you should know
I'm not gone 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 moons soft glow
I am the stars that twinkle
And lights 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...

Love Always Elaine xxxxxxx

I see tears fall down your face
When your thoughts have turned to me.
Just know that I’m in heaven,
With my Lord, who’s set me free.

No pain or sadness do I feel,
For God is by my side.
The beauty here in Heaven
Is now where I reside.

I know it’s hard for you to cope
For you can’t feel my touch.
But every moment, I can see
And love you very much.

When you are at your lowest
And feel you can’t go on,
Look towards the heavens
The light will be turned on.

Talk to me, just like you did
On earth when I was there.
You see, I’m not so far away …
Only as far as a prayer.

And when it’s time for you to join
Me up in Heaven above.
It’s then that you will realize,
The Golden Place of love.

For here there is no sadness,
Just everlasting light.
Someday we will be joined again,
When it’s time to take your flight.

Love always elaine xxxxxxx

WORDS OF AN ANGEL

May the angels keep you till morning.
May they guide you through the night.
May they comfort all your sorrows.
May they help you win the fight.
May they keep watch on your soul.
May they show you better ways.
May they guard you while you're sleeping.
May they see you through your days.
May they show you new hopes.
May they still your every doubt.
May they calm your every fear.
May they hear you when you shout.
May the angels keep you til morning.
More than this I cannot pray.
And if the angels ever fail you.
Then may God be there that day.

**********************************

Angel of comfort

When each day brings only sadness
and your heart is filled with pain
You will find it hard to believe
that you'll ever smile again
But when your crying deep inside
an angel always hears
And will be there to comfort you
and wipe away your tears
There are wings of love around you
and you can depend upon
Your angel, who will give you hope
and the strength to carry on.

~~ The Hand Of God ~~

I felt the hand of god today
it touched my broken heart
it didn't mend it never will
but at least it was a start

He did his best to comfort me
and help me understand
the reason why he took you
into the promised land

The angels must have sung with joy
with arms outstretched with love
and welcome you into the home
they share with god in heaven above

His promise to the kind and good
is joy beyond compare
those things you were abundantly
and of joy you take your share

Try as we might it's hard to grasp
you are no longer here
for all we long for everyday
is to have and hold you near

Our days are filled with longing
to see your smiling face
to enjoy once more the happy times
and share a warm embrace

Instead we struggle on and on
the pain it will not go
with only memories to keep us sane
oh how we miss you so

It's hard to go on living
we are so tired and lonely
each day all we can think is
'why? and oh, if only'

But these are things we cannot change
as much as we might try
and so we go on thinking
'oh, if only and oh why?

Love Elaine xxxxxxxxxxxxx
