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."
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

When all the flowers have faded
And the people have all gone
You will not be forgotten
Your memory lives on
Your love it will surround me
You always will be near
Because you are my Granda
And I'll always hold you dear.

God looked around his garden,
And found an empty space
Then he looked upon this earth,
And saw your tired face
He put his arms around you,
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
***********************************
God saw you getting tired,
And a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
And he whispered come with me.
With tearful eyes,
We watched you go,
And saw you fade away.
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove,
That he only takes the best.
It's lonesome here without you,
We miss you more each day.
Life doesnt seem the same,
Since you went away.
When days are sad and lonely,
And everything goes wrong,
we seem to hear you whisper,
"Cheer up" and "carry on."
Each time we see your picture,
You seem to smile and say,
"Don't cry im in gods keeping,
We'll meet again some day."
thinking of you granda xxxxx
