Grandad,

I hope you held on tightly to mum yesterday. I know that you were with us taking care of us all through one of the hardest days of our lives.

Missing you both so much it hurts.

Ave atque Vale


Through many countries and over many seas
I have come, Brother, to these melancholy rites,
to show this final honour to the dead,and speak (to what purpose?) to your silent ashes,since now fate takes you, even you, from me.
Oh, Brother, ripped away from me so cruelly,now at least take these last offerings, blessed by the tradition of our parents, gifts to the dead.
Accept, by custom, what a brother’s tears drown,and, for eternity, Brother, ‘Hail and Farewell’.

Grandad

I Love to walk with Grandad, his steps are short like mine

He never says "Now hurry up" He always takes his time.

I Love to walk with Grandad, his eyes see things like mine

Most people are in a hurry, they never stop to see.
I'm so glad that God made Grandad "Unrushed" and young like me.

I'm proud to call you grandad and you mean the world to me.

To my Grandad...

Hi Grandad,

I hope you were there to meet Mum and you are now taking good care of each other.

Missing you both so much everyday.

Hold tightly on to Mum for me...love you xxx

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

RIP Bill

I only know too well the pain Bill suffered, as my husband also passed with that awful disease. You are free from pain now Bill, sleep peacefully in God's Garden. So sorry for your loss and my condolences to all the family. Jean xx
