Each day dawns and starts anew, And when it closes I think of you, The tears in my eyes can be wiped away, But the ache in my heart will always stay. Wishing today as I have wished before, That God could have spared you a few years more, So treasure him, Lord, in Your garden of rest. For on this earth he was the best.

From his loving wife Valerie xx.

Dad, What I would give to see you smile, To sit and talk with you a while, To have you here in the same old way, Would be my dearest wish today.

From your loving son Sean xx.

Dad and Grandad, There’s a face always with us, A voice we would love to hear, A smile we will remember, Of our Dad we loved so dear.
