A nicer more genuine person you couldnt hope to meet, he believed in kindness and helping people less fortunate but his passion in life was his family.He adored my mother, Maureen and loved her unconditionally for all of his lifetime and she loved him in the same way. They conquered every obstacle and problem life presented to them and they were a very "real" living example of pure love. Sadly I dont think I will ever witness that kind of bond in my lifetime again but feel very proud that I can honestly say I witnessed it with my parents.
He fathered 1 boy and 4 girls to Maureen. He was devoted to each and every one of us. He was a very strict father at times, which as children we naturally disliked, but it did us no harm at all as we are now all respectable hard working adults with good families of our own, so it just goes to show that ruling with an iron hand has its advantages. He adored all his grandchildren too and would have put his life on the line for anyone of his family.
I did a lot with my dad through my work as he was very passionate about music and that was my chosen profession. We would go to gigs together most weekends and he was in his element. We didnt always see eye to eye. As with most kids and parents he was my best friend and my worst nightmare at times, as I was his but he never once stopped being my hero.

He was robbed of life due to neglect from medical professionals and in my opinion his death was a tragic loss to this world.
We love you dearly dad and miss you like hell. We will never accept your abcense, we are merely learning to cope with it.
god bless you

fight for the right xxxx

Hey dad, well thats 1 year you have had Linda with you now and I hope you are both ok. I know things would be so much different down here if you were with us and I miss that. I have tried to do as you would do and fight for the right to grant my sisters wishes. It's not been easy as you will have seen but you would never have thrown in the towel and thats why I didnt either. You were the best teacher for standing my ground and making sure my opinion counted.
The life down here now is pretty bizarre dad. It's all messed up but after trying to fix it many times and getting nowhere I have decided to do things my own way now and charge on regardless. Sometimes things are broken beyond repair and if people dont want to attempt to mend them then I cannot force them. If there was a reason behind it all I would understand but theres not. It's insane.
Christmas is fast approaching again and it seems to get worse each year instead of easier. I dont want to face it. Dont want to see it. Would rather sleep right thru and wake on 2nd jan! Be around this year please dad and let me know you are there. Could really use one of your big strong hugs right now. Those were just reassurance at its best.
love you so so much and miss you so bad. Life just isnt fair sometimes.
be at peace dad and take care
love u

Thank you xxxx

Hey dad,
well its been a whirlwind as you know but thank you for the strength you have given me when I needed it. God knows I asked for it often enough but as always, you delivered dad and I love you so much for it. I dread to think where I would be without it.
Dignity, self respect and loyalty were the most important things to you and I'm happy to say I have kept all 3 of them, although it would have been easier to forget those rules and lash out lololol but with your big brave voice echoing in my ear how could I possibly lolol.
Mums doing ok as far as things go. She suffes in silence like she always has but we are keeping her busy and we are there for her always. I know you'll be delighted to have Linda there with you and you can both look down together on us all and spread your love and support. She never forgave herself for not being there when you left dad so I hope she is at pace with that now and I know you both will be inseperable.
I love and miss you so badly even though its five years this year it still feels like last month. You are forever in my heart and my mind dad and I love you for all eternity.
god bless reast in peace

dad xxx

Spent some time with mum today
and we talked a lot about you
about your love and dedication
and all that we all went through

As much as it fills her with joy
to remember all the times
the sadness never leaves her eyes
its a pain she just cant hide

we were so lucky to have you in our lives
and experience your love
and everything you did for us
was always more than enough

but that empty hole has never been filled
and it will never go away
we just hope your no longer in any pain
for your peace now we all pray

you left us oh so quickly
it all happened in a blur
I never imagined a life here without you
not once did those thoughts occur

but dad I'm trying to look after her
and make sure I dont let you down
but theres no denying life would be so much better
if you were still around

please help in my mission
to make sure she is ok
as I worry about her so much
her sadness deepens everyday

you promised me a gift from you
through a medium over 1 year ago
and now its hard to hide that gift
cos i think its starting to show

so I'm trying to stay focused
and stay on the right path
but I'm lacking in strength right now
and its getting harder to wear the mask

just know i love you and i thank you
for all you did for me
and know you are with linda
in a place you both can see

whats going on down here
in all our daily lives
your son, your daughters and grandkids
and your loving doting wife

love you so much dad and pray for your painless peaceful life in heaven to be all you need it to be. you are so sorely missed
love from
Auds

**YOU MEANT SO MUCH **

You meant so much to all of us
You were special and that's no lie
You brightened up the darkest day
And the cloudiest sky

Your smile alone warmed hearts
Your laugh was like music to hear
I would give absolutely anything
To have you well and standing near

Not a second passes
When you're not on our minds
Your love we will never forget
The hurt will ease in time

Many tears I have seen and cried
They have all poured out like rain
I know that you are happy now
And no longer in any pain.

Letter From Heaven For My Family........


When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
All filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an Angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind,
All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
Would take the place of me.

And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you".
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.

We'll meet again

I look out of the window
into the darkness of the night
The sky is black and heavy
and theres not a star in sight
I wonder what its all about
all the pain and misery
the hurt the tears and suffering
a smile being a rare sight to see
Then I think of where you might be
in the heavens up above
surrounded by contentment
acceptance and love
I imagine you dressed in the whitest white
Your skin a magical glow
Flowers and bunnies surround your feet
glittering waters in the rivers that flow
And I realise I am being selfish
to want you back on this earth full of pain
As it wasnt that kind to you either
And you couldnt go through that again
So dad, I know that I miss you
and the pain will never go away
but I know you will look down upon us
and watchover us every day
I'd give anything just to see you again
Or for a second hold your hand
Hear a whisper from your voice
and know you understand
I know you'll be there to meet us all
when our times come
and you'll welcome us with open arms
into your heavenly home

love and miss you always dad

I thought of you with love today
but that is nothing new,
I thought about you yesterday
and the day before that too.
I will think of you tomorrow
as i will my whole life through,
For the day i fail to think of you,
Is the day god takes me too
