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."

Good Night Granda

TO MY DEAREST FAMILY

Some thing's i'd like to say,
but first of all to let you's know I arrived okay .
I'm wrigting this from heaven
where i dwell with God above
where there's no more tears or sadness,
there is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy,
just because i'm out of sight remember that im with you's
every morning, noon and night.
Thatday i had to leave you's
when my life on Earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me
and said I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again
you were missed while you were gone
as for your dearest family
they'll be here later on.
I need you here so badly
as part of my big plan
there's so much that we have to do
to help the mortal man.
Then God gave me a list of things
he wanted me to do
and foremost on that list of mine
is to watch and care for you's.
And i will be beside you's
every day and week and year and when your sad
I'm standing there to wipe away the tears
And when you's lie in bed at night
the day's chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you's
in the middle of the night.
When you's think of my life on Earth
and all those loving year's
because you's are only human
they are bound to bring you's tears
But do not be afraid to cry
it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers
unless there was some rain.
I wish that i could tell you's
of all that God has planned
but if i were to tell you's
you's would'nt understand.
But one thing is for certain
though my life on Earth is o're
I am closer to you's now
than I ever was before.
PS. God send's his love XXXXXXXXX

THE BEST

God saw you getting tired,
and a cure was not to be,
with tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away .
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay .
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hand's to rest,
god broke our heart's to prove to us,
he only takes the best .
Love to all your loving family cecil xxxx

WHAT MAKES A DAD

God took the strenght of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of the sea,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagles flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined those qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew his masterpiece was complete
And so he called it .... DAD . XXXXXXXXXX

We will never forget

People think we may have forgotten
When at times they see us smile,
Little do they know the heartache
That our smiles hide all the while,
To some you may be forgotten
To others a part of the past,
But to those who loved and lost you
Your memory will last and last.

never far from my thoughts
Anne-Marie

Memories

They say memories are golden, well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you, a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.
But as we are called one by one, the chain will link again

Missing you so much granda xxxx

A Very Special Granda

As Grandas come
And Grandas go
You were the best
And this I know

You were there for me
In my hour of need
You spoke your wisdom
I took great heed

I only hope that I become
Someone as great as you
A man of inspiration
There are so very few

I hope there is in Heaven
A TV that God bought
To bring to you the latest
Of all your favourite sports

( I know this will make you happy)

Dear Granda

Thank you for being more than just a granda and for being there for me when I needed you the most and for helping me become the person that I am today. You filled a massive void in my life and gave me all the love, support and guidance that I needed. I know that I was so lucky to have you as my granda. I am happy in the knowledge that you will always be a big part of my life and that will be carried on through generatons to come. Maybe one day in years to come, if I am ever lucky enough to have children and grand-children, I will be as influential and as special to them, as you are to me.

Love You Always Granda xxx
