thinking of you Lisa and the family
and remembering your Grandad
love Dutchxx

For you Grandad.

God looked around his garden,
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down 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 always takes the best.

He knew you were suffering.
He knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never,
Get well on Earth again.

He saw that the road was getting rough,
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered, "Peace by Thine."

It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home

Your ever loving Grand-Daughter Lisa xx

Thank you Angie
A very good friend helped me pick the perfect poem for my Grandad,
And I am so grateful to her not only for her help finding the poem but listening and talking to me when I was feeling down.
So I would like to say a big thank you to you.
You know who you are.

My nan would have been 96 today Born 3/12/1911.

She also passed away in 1995. (22/01/1995)

Missed her first grandchilds birth by two months (Kyle)
I have also told my children about their great nan, who I think would have smothered them in love.

Remembering both your Grandad and my Nan today.

I am pleased that it hasn't upset you Helen,
I am sure that your Dad and brother will love getting to read the full verse.

Lisa x

Oh no Lisa, it hasn't upset me. it means that I can now show my brother and Dad the whole verse.

Helen

I think that is a very lovely thing to have had put on your mums headstone Helen.
I am truly sorry if it has upset you reading the verse with the last 2 lines of it been on your mums headstone.

Lisa xx

the last 2 lines of the verse are on my Mum's headstone. We went to the stonemasons with the details of what we wanted on the stone and I was browsing at the book of photo's of the stones, when I saw that engraved on one and I started crying when I read it. My brother and father read it and we all agreed that it had to go on the stone, Mum was the cornerstone of our family and the lines summed up exactly what we all felt.

Helen

Thank you Gillian and Trish.
I know how you feel Tina.
I was always close to my Grandad, He was a very special man.

Lisa xx

Thinking of you Lisa,
as you remember the passing of your dear Granddad.
Mine was one of the best too.

Trish

Exactly - bless you sweetheart - bless you XX.

The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning that 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, 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 at 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

Love Lisa, Kev, Conor, Reece, Kevin, Kyle, Kieran, Rhiannon & Courtney xxxxxxxxx
