God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around you and whispered ‘Come with me’, With our tearful eyes we watched you sleep and saw you slowly fade away, Although we loved you dearly we could not make you stay, Your golden heart stopped beating and your hard-working hands put to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. I will miss your amazing life stories, you always made me laugh, I will treasure our time together forever Grandpa, you are my hero and I miss you already.

Love always, your grandson Blake and partner Nicole xx.

Mere words shall never explain how I feel, My heart has been broken, it’s much worse than real, My husband and partner that I cherished so dearly, Has left me alone, while my soul aches severely. We were so happy, as we welcomed each day, Nothing can bring him back, my life is now grey, It just feels like life is the most horrible thief, my new companions shall be sorrow and grief. He’d want me to be strong, and live life with a smile, but I can’t accept that, not for a while. I shall always love my husband, my life. Till the end of eternity, I’ll be his wife. Till we meet again.

Your heartbroken wife, Margaret XXX.
