My darling free from pain and now in the arms of our beloved son Tim.

Forever loved, your heartbroken wife June X X.

To my darling Dad, I cannot begin to thank you enough for being the most wonderful loving father. You filled our lives with so much joy and laughter for which I am eternally grateful. I cannot describe the irreplaceable void that you have left in our lives forever. The only solace is that you have now reunited with our darling brother Tim. I love you and will miss you so much Dad.

With much love, Kursten XXX.

Dear Pops, To say you were just my grandfather is an absolute understatement, because you were my father figure. Knowing I’ll never have a cuddle or laugh alongside you kills me, but knowing you’re no longer in pain and are now at peace with Tim makes things a little easier. I’ll never be able to show how grateful I am for all you’ve done and how much I love you. I miss you and will always miss you and I love you. You’ll forever be in my heart and I know that you’ll be with me through every step I take. Thank you for being the best father figure and grandfather anyone could have. I love you forever.
