Died 5th February 1995
Age 59
Occupation Upholsterer
Lived in Windy Nook

Les my dad lived in Windy Nook with his wife Betty, they have 2 children Helen and Ian and 1
granddaughter Sarah.
My dad was taken from us after suffering from cancer, he fought his illness for 18th month with
great strength, and dignity and was an inspiration to us all.
Les my dad was such a wonderful person, we always knew he was there for us helping us in anyway he
could and always giving good advice, even though we didn't want to listen sometimes! we knew he was
always right.
He worked hard all his life making sure our family life was good, he died 6 weeks before his 60th
birthday and retirement. (What a waste, couldn't even enjoy the time off he deserved).
I can't really put into words how i feel about my dad he was just loved so much and i think about
him and miss him every day. Sarah his only grandchild wasn't quite 2 when he died and they have
both missed out on a lot, he adored her so much, he had so many plans for her and the days out they
were going to have was never ending.
I just wish he was still here just so he could see her now and see how wonderful she is, but i know
he'll be with us forever always protecting us.

Dad you are always in our thoughts and hearts we love and miss you so much xxxxxxxxx

Beyond the rainbow's end, there lies
The land of love and light.
Where shadows never dim the skies,
For there ~ there is no night.

And though the loss is hard to bear,
of loved one, or of friend,
We know that we shall find them there ~
Beyond the rainbow's end.

Love and God Bless

Gail Danny'S Mum October 29, 2008

THANKYOU SO SO MUCH FOR EVERY THING YOU DO. YOU HAVE BECOME SUCH A SPECIAL FRIEND TO ME.

Xx Pass this on to all your close friends xX
If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
and share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
are impossible for me.

I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there

Thank you for everything you do xXx love always

Wendy Clark. (Close Friend) October 27, 2008

For every mile I've walked,
When I felt I couldn't stand.
For every time I fell,
And you reached out your hand.

For every time I felt,
I couldn't face another day.
Until I fell down on my knees,
And asked you to show me the way.

For all the days and nights,
That I have cried out in distress.
For bearing all my burdens,
When my soul could find no rest.

I thank you for reminding me,
That in this life we live...
We're guided by your unseen hands,
And all the love you give.

For each and every time,
That I have ever felt alone.
You showed me you were there with me,
Though not with flesh and bone.

But in a way so mighty,
That the darkness even fears.
You light my way through sadness,
As you bottle up my tears.

No tear is ever wasted,
For through them my eyes can see.
Far beyond this mortal life,
To the gates of eternity.

So when I feel compelled,
To sit and drown in sorrow...
Remind me once again Dear Lord,
You always make a new tomorrow.


Love to you Helen and the family, have a peaceful weekend. Always in my thoughts, Gail

WHEN YOU WONDER THE MEANING OF LIFE AND LOVE
KNOW THAT I AM WITH YOU
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND FEEL ME KISSING YOU
IN THE GENTLE BREEZE ACROSS YOUR CHEEK
WHEN YOU BEGIN TO DOUBT THAT YOU SHALL
EVER SEE ME AGAIN
QUITE YOUR MIND AND HEAR ME
I AM THE WHISPER OF THE HEAVENS
SPEAKING OF YOUR LOVE
WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR IDENTITY
WHEN YOU QUESTION WHO ARE AND WHERE YOU ARE GOING
OPEN YOUR HEART AND SEE ME
I AM THE THE TWINKLE IN THE STARS SMILING
DOWN UPON YOU
LIGHTING THE PATH FOR YOUR JOURNEY
WHEN YOU AWAKEN EACH MORNING
NOT REMEMBERING YOUR DREAMS
BUT FEELING CONTENT AND SERENE
KNOW THAT I WAS WITH YOU
FILLING YOUR NIGHTS WITH THOUGHTS OF ME
WHEN YOU LINGER IN THE REMNANT PAIN
WHOLENESS SEEMING SO UNFAMILIAR THINK OF ME
KNOW THAT I AM WITH YOU
TOUCHING YOU THROUGH SHARED TEARS OF A
GENTLE FRIEND EASING THE PAIN
AS THE SUNRISE ILLUMINATES THE DESERT SKY
IN THAT BREATHTAKING BRILLIANCE,
AWAKEN YOUR SPIRIT
AND THINK OF OUR TIME TOGETHER
AL TO BRIEF, BUT EVER BRILLIANT
WHEN YOU WERE CERTAIN OF US TOGETHER
WHEN YOU WERE CERTAIN OF YOUR DISTINY
KNOW THAT GOD CREATED THAT MOMENT IN TIME
JUST FOR US
I AM ALWAYS WITH YOU.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HELLO DEAR FRIENDS OF MINE I HOPE THAT YOU ALL
HAVE A LOVELY WEEKEND, AND I WISH YOU HEALTH AND
HAPPINESS. WITH LOVE AS ALWAYS LINDA.XXX

When I look up at night and see
the beauty that's so far,
I often wish deep in my soul
that I could touch a star.


To have the twinkle that is there
shine within my eyes.
Then God could make a million more
to sprinkle in the skies.


We were meant to see the glory
shining in the heavens,
A reminder to give thanks to God
for all that we've been given.


And then I think of my lovely dad
and nothing on earth can mar,
The realization with happiness
that I once truly touched a star.

Love and God Bless

SUNSHINE.
DRY UP MY TEARS WITH YOUR GENTLE WINDS,
FOR YOUR WORDS CEASE MY TEARS.
BLOW AWAY MY DARK CLOUDS,
FOR YOUR STRONG WINDS BLOW THEM AWAY.
BRING ME HAPPINESS WITH YOUR SUN BEAMS,
FOR YOUR SUNSHINE WARMS MY SOUL.
WHISPER ME A DEEP SECRET WITH YOUR BREEZE.
FOR YOUR WORDS BRING ME A WARM FEELING.
PUT OUT MY RAGING FIRE,
FOR YOUR RAIN SIZZLES IT DOWN.
EVERYTHING YOU DO IS MY EVERYTHING,
AND I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT YOU'RE MY SUNSHINE.
**************************************************
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT YOU HAVE
GIVEN ME AND MY KARL, YOU ARE TRUELY
ALL BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE WITH HEARTS OF GOLD.

I AM NOT SO FROM YOU,
JUST A LITTLE WAY BEYOND;
PAST THE CARES AND PAST THE PAIN,
FAR PAST MY EARTHLY BONDS.

WHEN YOU FEEL YOU MISS ME MOST,
AS YEARS GO DRIFTING BY;
EACH MEMORY WILL PROVE TO YOU,
THAT OUR LOVE WILL NEVER DIE.

FOR MEMORIES ARE BUT A TOUCH,
FROM THE FATHER'S GENTLE HAND;
TO HEAL YOUR PAIN AND MEND YOUR HEARTS,
TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND...

THAT WHILE I LEFT YOU FAR TO SOON,
I DID NOT LEAVE YOU ALONE;
FOR THE FATHER SENT HIS ANGELS,
TO GENTLY TAKE ME HOME.

TAKE COMFORT WHEN YOU THINK OF ME,
KEEP MY LOVE IN ALIVE IN YOUR HEART;
AND WITH THE WARMTH OF EACH MWMORY,
WE WILL NEVER PART.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD DAY, AND TAKECARE.
WITH LOVE AS ALWAYS LINDA.XXX

Michael Jackson…

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
¸.✿´ .✿´¸.✿´ .✿´

Sweet dreams Les

Little did we know that morning
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you,
You are always by our side.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
