Passed away peacefully aged 72,

Dad
It's never the right time
to say goodbye. 
We will miss you, Dad, 
and here is why. 
You taught us so much: 
to show no fear, 
to always have fun, 
and face the day with cheer. 

You were always so able, 
so fast and so strong.
In our eyes 
you could do no wrong.
You would always listen, 
and you never pried. 
You were the arms around us,
when we cried. 
You never looked for praise, 
and you were never
one to boast. 
You were always there 
for those you loved the most. 

You worked so hard, 
and those strong working
hands led us through life, 
and helped us understand, 
that life can be hard, 
and tough, and sad, 
but through it all
we had our Dad. 

And because of you,
we understood,
that life is actually,
pretty good. 
We believe in you
and will follow your path, 
and when things go wrong, 
we will look back and laugh. 

I hope you can hear us, 
so we can let you know,
that you were and will forever, 
be our superhero. 
So yes, today
we are full of sorrow, 
but we will smile a little more 
with each tomorrow. 

So please, Dad, go,
be at rest,
and know to us
you were always the best.
We know you are back
in the arms of
our lovely Mum,
which gives us comfort
in our days of sorrow.

We love you so much Dad
and miss you every day.
Forever in our hearts
Terry & Julie, Tracey & Damian,
Diane & Andy.

Grandad
Grandad, time was
not kind to us,
but you were kind to time.
Each day you made
the most of life,
come rain or shine.

Grandad, though we are
pained we have lost
such an amazing man,
We take comfort in knowing
you’ll be with our lovely Nan.
Grandad, you taught
us so much,
allowed us to see life
through your eyes,
the memories made, 
we will hold as our
biggest prize.

Grandad, you looked
after us, since we were
able to crawl,
we will miss your laugh,
your ability to light up a room
and coming together
to watch football.

Grandad, you will live on
 in us all as we will
think of you,
raise a glass and cheer,
so raise yours in heaven,
as we all share a beer.

Grandad, although time
was not kind to us,
we will never take it shyly,
Rest in peace to our
Grandad Jimmy.

Love your heartbroken
Grandchildren Liam, Mike,
James, Libby, Jake,
Corbin,  Jade, Beth and
great grandaughter Delilah.
