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 Tomorrow Starts Without Me
If tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not there to see.
If the sun should rise, and find your eyes,
Are filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
The way you did today.
While thinking of the many things, we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you loved me,
As much as I love you.
And every time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
I hope you’ll understand,
An angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.
She said my place was ready, in heaven up above,
And that I’d have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.
I had so much to live for, so much that I should do,
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.
I wish I could have said goodbye,
And kissed and seen you smile,
I wish I could have stayed with you even for a little while.
But then I had to realise, that this could never be,
Now emptiness, and memories,
Would take the place of me.
But when I walked through heavens gates,
I felt so much at home,
And then the lord looked down on me, from his golden throne.
He said, “this is for eternity, but I will promise you,
Although your life on earth has passed, here life starts anew”
“I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each days the same up here,
There’s no longing for the past”
My loved ones, please don’t grieve for me,
Because I am truly free,
And I will wait for you to come and share my life with me.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here in your heart
I LOVE YOU DAD

Good Night Granda
x Miss And Love You x
Always In My Heart
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
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
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
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
xx
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
