George ,my husband, lover, soulmate, born 20th June 1945 and passed away 27th February 2008.
You left us in peace, you fought and struggled for seven years against Mr.C -- after 39 yeas of
marriage, how i wish we could have had our 40th.
You have left your legacy, son and daughter and eight wonderful grandchildren all who miss you so
much. Like i do.
Sleep peacefully my love -- you are always here in our hearts.
Below is my tribute to you which was read out at your service -- everyone thought is was so true of
you -- i hope you liked it too.
My George
Husband – Father – Grandfather – Brother, and friend to one and all
The brother with four elder sisters– chasing one with worms – because he knew she hated them –
wrecking another’s bike after he had wrecked his own careering down Poultry Farm hill and going
head first over the Stuarts hedge.
The boyfriend who in 1967 on our third date told me he was going to marry me – told me - you
notice, not asked me.
The joker who took great delight in telling how my father shook his hand and then said very
solemnly- “Son you have my deepest sympathy and thank you for taking her off me hands” when we
became engaged.
The son in law who was the apple of my mother and my father’s eye –and would do anything that
was asked of him by either of them.
The father whose pride and joy were first his son – to carry on the family name and then his
daughter – daddy’s little girl – who as they grew up and became parents themselves gave him so
much pride and pleasure.
The grandfather who walked the floor for three months when Claire’s eldest suffered colic every
night singing lullabies to calm her and whom , whenever there was a babysitter needed always was the
first called and the first there – and who was so proud to have eight wonderful grandchildren..
The brother in law who surprised Ben and Denise on their Silver Wedding by driving all night to the
Lake District just so that we could arrive with a champagne breakfast for them..
The Gardener who grew so many vegetables he kept all the family and most of the neighbours in fresh
produce throughout the year and until last year still mowed lawns and cut hedges for all of them.
The husband who over the years stood by my side through thick and thin- whatever struggles we were
going through – and there were many, and with whom the affinity between us was so strong that one
invariably started to speak about something the other was about to say or had been thinking.
And the husband who fought his illness every step of the way and became part of an elite group who
survived for more than two years – in fact it was nearly seven. And who also made sure that when
his time had come that I was not alone and that our daughter was there that night.
This was the man
This was my husband
This was my George
Please note to all who may feel they wish to post on here -- my husband was not a religious man, and
had a Humanist funeral, so i would appreciate should you wish to light a candle etc that you bear
this in mind
thankyou
I Promise ♥
I promise I won't cry forever
But I need to just today.
I promise I will remember
How to live and how to play.
I promise that I'll dry my tears
When the heartache goes away.
I promise that it won't take years
But I need another day.
I promise that I'll live my life
As you would want me to.
I promise when I'm facing strife
I'll face it straight and true.
I promise I will endeavour
To do the best I can each day.
I promise I won't cry forever
But I need to just today
Happy Birthday GG,
Are there birthdays up in heaven
does an angel blow his horn
announcing to all the angels
this is the day you were born ♥
♥ Can the stars be your balloons
and angel food your cake
presents wrapped in moonbeams
all the angels helped to make ♥
♥ So I’ll whisper a little prayer today
asking everyone up above
to sing you a happy birthday song
and give you all our love ♥

One Year Ago Today
Is it really a year ago
When we said our last farewell
When I wept with sorrow
And grief at my loss
And a silence on our family fell
Is it really a year ago
When I lay you down to rest
You fought so hard for seven years
A brave soul to the end
Always with a smile or jest
Is it really a year ago
When a couple became just one
To be a single soul
In this wide world
A world without the sun
Is it really a year ago
The time has sped so fast
Sleep well my love
In peace
And with no pain at last
Is it really a year ago
When we had to part
You are still here with me
In my thoughts my love
And forever in my heart
Marion xxxxxxxx
In Memory
There is a place in every heart,
They call it Memory Lane,
Where thoughts of loves ones lost
Forever will remain.
God made this special place
When He first created man,
For He knew it would be needed,
As part of our life's plan.
He knew when loved ones left us,
We'd need some time to heal,
To come to terms with sorrow
And the loneliness we'd feel.
So when you lose a loved one
And your life is filled with pain,
The comfort of their presence
Will be found in Memory Lane
On your 1st angel day GG
XXXXXXXXXXXX
words gg would have said
My dear family
Dry your tears today
You know i love you so
It hurts me much to see you cry
'Cos my family don't you know
I'll never leave you all alone
Iv'e never left your hearts
God took me by the hand that day
He said we'de never part
He kept his promise to me
I visit you all the time
You are the sweetest family
an angel here could have
If I could write a letter
I'me sure you know I would
To let you know I'm safe from harm
And that heaven is real good
I'm here with many angels
Some that you may know
Those angels send all their love
To all of you below
I know one day we'll meet again
On the day that you come home
Iv'e saved a place for you my loved ones
It's near Gods precious throne
I'll wrap my arms around you and
I'll lead you up gods stairs
Till then my lovely family
Carry on and dry those tears
Please do me one big favour
Look after one another
Please take the time to smile and think
That you still have each other.

Memory is a loving thing
It lasts the longest day
It can never be spent,
Never be lent,
Never be taken away.
Always in my thoughts
xxxxx
Partings come and hearts are broken,
Loved ones go with words unspoken,
Deep in our hearts there's a memory kept,
For a husband and father we'll never forget
How time does fly
As the time draws ever near
When i lost you from my life
Its hard to beleive its nearly a year
I miss you lots, from your dearest wife
