Suddenly but peacefully on 4th june, Cecil (Cec) died in sunderland royal hospital at the age of 76.
He leaves behind his devoted wife Mary, a daughter Sandra and a son David.
He is also granda to Michael, me (Anne-Marie), David, Leanne, Jack Leanne and Danny, and great-granda to Bethany and Jayden.
He was a very caring and loving man, and will be sadly missed by all who new him.

You were a very big part of my life, and i cant remember a time when you weren't there for me.
You were the best granda in the world, and im going to miss you every second of every day. I just cant believe you're gone. A lot of people don't realise what you meant to me, maybe not even you, because in my eyes you weren't just a granda. You were there without an agenda no matter what, and provided me with more love, security, and support than i could have ever asked for. I can still remember running down the path everyday to be picked up in your arms when i was younger and you were coming in from work, you never failed to make me feel safe and special with a big cuddle.
I just wish i could have returned the favour when you needed me. I wanted to come and see you more, but it was just too hard too see you there in pain, and my biggest regret is that when i left the hospital that day you were sleeping, so i never got the chance to give you that cuddle and say goodbye.
So this is my goodbye to you, and i just hope you know how much i love you, untill the day we meet again.
R.I.P granda, your not suffering anymore.
love you always Anne-Marie

"You cannot see or touch me, but I`m standing next to you.
Your tears can only hurt me, your sadness makes me blue.
be brave and show a smiling face,
let not your grief show through,
I love you from a different place,
Yet I`m standing next to you."

If heaven had a phone

I Cannot dial your Number,
I Can't get through to You,
I Called the Operator,
She did all that she could Do.

There is no code for Heaven,
I Cannot place the Call,
No Numbers left to Call,
I Reckon I've tried them All.

If Heaven had a Phone,
I'd Ring you Every Day,
If Heaven had a Phone,
There's things I want to Say.

To Tell you that I love You,
And Miss you Every Day,
How much I prayed to God,
That He could have let you Stay,
but heaven dont have a phone,
so in our hearts you will always stay.
lots of love theresa xxx

When you feel you miss me most,
As years go driftin by,
Each memory will prove to you,
That love can never die,
That while I left you far too soon,
I did not go alone,
For the father sent his angels,
To gently take me home,
Take comfort when you think of me,
Hold my love deep within your heart,
And with the warmth of every memory,
We will never be apart.

my special dad

dad i wactched you suffer,it was so unfair all i could do was give my love and care.i knew you had to leave me, and as the days went by,i did my best to comfort you,and turned my head to cry.you tried so hard to stay with me,your spirit did not bend,you fought for life with courage,until the very end.in quiet thoughts i live again the days that used to be,i think of all the love we shared and all you did for me.to lose a dad i loved so much seems just to hard to bare,for our bond was such a special one,that few can truly share.i know ive never been alone dad,not for a single day,for you walk with me each and everyday.in heaven you rest,but in my heart you live, the most wonderfull dad that god could give i see you in my dreams dad i feel you by my side,i hear you call my name,if only these dreams were real,my life would be complete again i miss and love you each and everyday all my love dad your belovered son dave x x x x x x x x

DADs

'There's something like a line of gold thread running through a man's words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself.'

- Writer, college professor John Gregory Brown

Cec,
Its so hard doing this, you and Mary are the closest thing to grandparents i ever had, I will always carry the memories of all the great times that both of our families had together, you always made us smile and I will never ever forget that infamous night on holiday in tenerife when we had to practically carry you home, it was hilarious, that holiday was one of the best in my life because I was surrounded by love and happiness,

I miss you loads, Rest In Peace Cec,

Lots of Love
Hayley
