My husband in Heaven Although you sleep in heaven now, you're not that far away..... My heart is full of memories and you're with me everyday..... You lived your life with meaning and a smile upon your face..... A world that was full of happiness is now an empty place..... People say that only time will heal a broken heart..... But just like me and you it has all been torn apart..... I know you are at peace now and in a place where you are free..... Meet me at the Pearly Gates when heaven calls for me ❤

Nothing seems the same since you left us,I call your name and talk to you but there's no reply because you now live with the angels in the sky. Keep a place for me darling for when I join you, I don't know when but one things for sure I will one day. Luv you lots, June xx

I missed you yesterday, it seemed so sad to not see you on Father’s Day. I wish I could just see you again and see your lovely smile. Sleep tight. Love you xxx

I’m thinking of you grandad, I miss you more and more everyday. You’re constantly in my thoughts and I wish you were around to make more memories. I remember when I was in year5 and had to write a biography, as part of my school work, about someone and I chose you. I wrote about your childhood and how you grew up in a strict and dismal home and went to Canterbury Road school and then moved to Wilson marriage school later on you said you remembered hearing the sirens and having to hide underground in the shelters from the bombs. In your adult life you trained to be a carpenter then joined Hills as a builder after training. Which got stopped When you got called up for National service, in 1953, you said you enjoyed the army. However was then demobbed in 1956 and went back to building trade and then moved up a role into being a site agent in 1974 until you retired. You spent your retired life gardening or making something in your beloved work shop and you said your hopes for the future were to stay health and have a peaceful life. I hope that was fulfilled. I love you lots Grandad.

Blake misses you so much grandad, he gets very upset and says that all the good times have gone now you aren’t with us any longer. He still talks about how he would play cars with you on the floor. He loves his great grandad and you will always have a special place in his heart xxx

Grandad, you are forever in my thoughts. Random times I will have you on my mind, little memories creep back to make me smile. You will always be missed and I will always expect to see you in your chair, with your headphones on, watching your tv. I love you so much, my wonderful grandad xxxx

So sorry that you will no longer be there to talk with when we come round. We will miss that very much. Alvin and Wendy

Four weeks have gone since you passed away and I miss you more and more each day xxxx June

Thinking of you today 💙as I did yesterday 💙and I as I will tomorrow 💙

I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who helped to make Johns funeral a peaceful and respectful occasion, I am especially grateful to the Funeral Celebrant Allan Karsten and Margaret from East of England Co-operative Funeral Services. June x

Thank you for setting up this memorial to John. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
