Dad, I don't know where to start. Thank you you so much for the lifetime of love you gave me. Thank you for being my best friend. In this last month we became very close. I saw another side of you, a softer side. I'm gonna miss you so much, but you will always be in my heart. I really hope your happy up there with nan, uncle Les, Uncle Kev and Cheryl and of course Wally. You were my best friend but most of all you were my dad, The world's best dad. I will love you dad now and for always. I will do my best to look after mum and the girls. I just hope I can be half the man you are. You are the one of the strongest people I know. Dad I know I am the luckiest man around to have had you as my father for as long as I did. I will remember you always. I Love you Dad more than I have ever let you know. You were an very important part of my life. Until we meet again know that I love you and I will cherish the time we had together. I love you Dad

You are the person I looked up to most.
You were truly more than amazing.
The best pop anyone could wish for.
You have had the biggest effect on everyone's lives.
You are the most beautiful man I've ever met.

Dad, I am missing you so very much but I know you're watching down over us. Jordy and Jaydy and the whole team are wearing black armbands in memory of you. Mum is coming to watch and I know that you will be there too. Me San, Lisa, Ree, and Marilyn cherished the memories of the last few months we shared. We all love you so much and I promise you dad that I will look after mum and my 4 sisters after all that's what families do. I sit here now looking at your photo wishing I had one more day with you to let you know how I felt, but I know you knew after I told you a million times over the past couple of weeks. Monday is gonna be hard saying goodbye to you dad but we will all stick together and try and get through it. I love you with all my heart dad. xoxoxo........

What a wonderful man you were Reg. You were loving, giving, kind and funny. You always made me laugh whenever I talked to you. I admired the way you loved and nurtured your family and cherished each and every one of them. I know, they know, how lucky they are to have had you in their lives. To Bev, may you be comforted in time by his memory and the love and support around you. To the rest of the family especially Maria and kids you were and still are blessed to have such a wonderful dad and poppa. What a man....and Reg, I still walk round with no socks on and put footprints on my kitchen floor and think of you. My floor will never be as shiny as you used to make yours. Wish I could be there to farewell you on Monday but circumstances wouldn't allow it. I am sure you will be welcomed with open arms in heaven. Love to you Bev and family. Pauline, Shane and Lily xxxx

Daddy, I want to thank you for giving me such a wonderful mother and such beautiful, beautiful sisters and brother. I miss you so, so, so much! I cry every single day wishing I had just 5 minutes more to tell you how much I love and thank you for every thing that you have done for me. I thought that we would have you here with us for at least another 10 years. I know you know how much I love you and I know how much you love me. I just wish I had had those extra few moments to spend with you and to tell you what a special man you are and what your presence in my life has made to me. I would give my life to bring you back to us. Kris and Matt love you so much and miss you very much. Dad, You will be the first to see my beautiful grandchildren Dominique and Miciah, and will you tell them that I love them so much and I so much wanted them to be born.I know you have a ready made family waiting there for you and that you will be are with Uncle Kev,Kenneth,Cheryl,Wally and Nan. My beautiful Mum misses you so much every day and our lives will never ever be the same without you here. I miss your smile, your cuddles and your teasing nature, and will never ever forget the beautiful man you are. I want to thank you for all those special people you have brought into my life and for all the love you have given me.Thankyou for being there and for being my Daddy, I Love You!!! I will never, ever forget you! Love Mick XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hey Daddy, I miss you so much it feels like my heart is broken in two. I know I shouldn't feel so sad, but It's really hard not to be able to see you, talk to you, kiss and hug you. I don't think I've had one day since you left that I haven't cried. Mum really misses you, she has lost that little spark that she had whilst you were here with us. Smokie misses you too. He crapped on your bed the morning of your passing as if to say "there! I did what you always said I'd do"! Dad I hope it's as beautiful up there in heaven as I have read, and that you are healthy again. I wanted to send you some wishes from my heart.
Happy Fathers day Daddy...My daddy has gone far away from this land,
I miss the precious touch of his loving hands.
I never knew last year was the last day,
I could look at my daddy, hug him, and say:
"I love you, Daddy! Happy Father's Day!"
Don't let one day go by without telling him
how dear he is!
Remember you may not have another year to tell him this!
All I have now is great memories, a heart full of love and eyes full of tears, and to remember his love throughout the years.
Now I will have to look up at the stars and say, "I love you, Daddy! Happy Father's Day!"
Please remember when you pray, to thank your heavenly father up above.
For your father he gave you with so much love.
"He lived, for Jesus died;
He died, for Jesus Lives."
Happy Birthday Daddy…
My dearest daddy 'I love you',
I think of you each day.
I feel your arms around me,
that's how I get through my days.
You’re looking down upon me,
to guide me on my way,
but its very hard without you,
each and every day.
People always tell me,
the grieving will subside.
But how can it get better,
without you by my side.
No matter how hard they try,
to help me with this pain,
I am all consumed by thinking,
It will never be the same.
I know one day we'll meet,
in the Heavens up above.
It's the one thing that helps me,
to never forget your love.
My dearest Daddy, I love you,
you’re with me every day.
I will keep this love within me,
until that beautiful day...
Love you lots and lots and lots. xoxoxoxo

My beautiful daddy, it has been 15 months since you went away, and it still hurts as much as the day that God took you up to heaven with him. Nothing feels the same anymore...birthdays, christmas, Father's day are all a reminder that the spark of light is missing...YOU! It's hard to laugh and have fun without you there. you were always the one who would joke and stir, and I really miss that. Mum misses you so much. You were her life, she did everything with and for you. Sometimes when Mum cuddles me I ask if she's alright and she says "I'm okay", and I say "no you're not", and then she will cry and tell me how much she misses You. She feels you around her and in the house. She holds so much in, thinking she will upset us by showing she misses you so much! Johnny, Kris, Matt, Rich and the girls miss you very much and send their love. I send all my love to you the most beautiful man in the whole world, my wonderful Father, and thankyou for watching over Rich whilst he was very sick in hospital. I know it was you taking care of him for us and making sure he pulled through.Wish you were still here with us, but I know that is never going to happen, but I can still wish can't I. Love you forever and ever and ever. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXO

I lost you way before the others but you were always in my heart, like mum. I miss you so much and I hope our almighty appreciates the soul he has taken from us. he does, that why he took u. It must be hard in heaven to tell you and our almighty apart. Maybe god has bigger plans for you. If you get to chose souls, daddy pick me. No one loves and misses you more. Til we meet again.

Hi Daddy, it's almost Fathers' Day (2 without you here). I still miss you so much. I have a poem for you for Fathers Day: He's rough and lacks in etiquette,
Society would say.
He has no classy attributes,
To help him on his way.
He's not a fancy dresser,
And he's not so trimmed and neat.
With simple clothes and simple shoes,
He wears upon his feet.
He doesn't belong to a club,
Or drive a shiny car.
And when he takes vacations,
He does not go very far.
He doesn't dine on fine cuisine,
To him fast food's a treat.
And he may use a plastic fork,
When it is time to eat.
He has a modest little house,
But has all that he needs.
He keeps his lawn cut nice and short,
He even trims his weeds.
He works long hours at his job,
To make an average pay.
And even if he's sick of tired,
He goes to work each day.
His job is just a factory job,
His pay just makes ends meet,
But, a few good friends and family,
Make his life complete.
He's not well versed in poetry,
Theatre or the arts.
And wisdom is not something,
That he constantly imparts.
He loves the simple things in life,
For riches doesn't thirst.
He knows what is important,
And his family is put first.
The wealth that God has given him,
To treasure in his life.
A loving son and daughter,
And a very special wife.
He never has much money,
And his life is not a show.
But he is still the richest man,
That I will ever know.
To others he's a simple man
And fame he's never had.
But he's the greatest man I know,
He also is my Dad.
I never had a chance to choose the man to be my Dad -
But I sure thank my lucky stars for the taste my Mother had. I love you Daddy, have a happy Fathers Day celebrating with Cheryl for her 48th birthday. Love you forever. xxxxxxxx

Hi daddy, I bet you had a wonderful birthday with the angels! I have noticed you have been watching over me, the lights going off and on a lot. Thankyou. I wanted to tell you that I Love You...Last night I looked up at the sky, and thought to myself...
how breathtaking, how mind blowingly beautiful it is up there. The stars were shining so bright and the moon was gleaming. The sky line went on and on and on,never ending. And I felt this feeling all over, this comforting feeling that tingled from my head all the way to my toes. I knew at that very
moment it was you, smiling down on me... telling me not to worry
everything's all right.
Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. Love and miss you lots daddy .xxxxoooo

My Special Hero
When I was a baby
You would hold me in your arms
I felt the love and tenderness
Keeping me safe from harm.
I would look up into your eyes
And all the love I would see
How did I get so lucky
You were the dad chosen for me.
There is something special
About a Father's love
Seems it was sent to me
From someplace up above.
Our love is everlasting
I just wanted you to know
That you are my special hero
And wanted to tell you so.

Oh, Reg, I am missing you!
My heart can't seem to mend.
These last two years I've fooled myself,
But no more can I pretend.
You've not just gone to foreign lands,
To come home any day.
You've gone to where I can't yet go,
You've gone away to stay.
I used to feel I could hear your steps
Walking down the hall,
But when I eagerly checked it out,
You were not there at all.
I used to think I heard your voice
Calling, "Bev, it's me!"
But when I went to welcome you,
You were not there to see.
In daydreams I still see your face,
You dance around my heart.
But then reality sets in
And I know that we're apart.
Those memories of days gone by
Are jewels I'll always treasure.
They're safely locked within my heart,
I love you without measure.
And, hope, too, lives within my heart,
For this I know is true:
Someday my call from God will come
And then I'll be with you.
Loving and missing you always,

My daddy was my hero
For my very youngest years;
Daddy kept me safe and happy,
And he chased away my fears.
I watched in awe and wonder
At each manly thing he did;
Oh, I looked up to my daddy,
When I was a little kid.
My dad was still my hero,
As the years passed, one by one.
He taught important lessons,
And he took some time for fun.
He was my firm foundation;
On my dad I did depend;
He was always there for me,
My dad, my guide, my friend.
My father is my hero,
Now that I am fully grown.
I love him and respect him,
The best man I've ever known.
I knew when I would marry
That my husband had to be
A great man, just like my father,
Dad, my hero you'll always be.
I love and miss you so much, my heart aches. xxxxxxxxxxx

who is loving and kind,
And often he knows
what you have on your mind.♥
He's someone who listens,
suggests, and defends.
A dad can be one
of your very best friends!♥
He's proud of your triumphs,
but when things go wrong,
A dad can be patient
and helpful and strong ♥
In all that you do,
a dad's love plays a part.
There's always a place for him
deep in your heart.♥
And each year that passes,
you're even more glad,
More grateful and proud

You’ve held my hand; you’ve held my heart,
So many blessings, so few tears ,
Yet for a moment, we must part.
✿ The memories you’ve given me,
Are times I’ve shared with my best friend,
I’ll hold them, Love… Right here they’ll be,
Until we share our lives again.
I love and miss you so much…
Your loving wife Bev ♥ x

♥Daddy’s Little Girl ♥
♥
Brown haired, brown-eyed angel,
That’s Daddy’s little girl,
He quickly held her close to him,
When she came into this world.
♥
With loving hands and a gentle heart,
He taught her right from wrong,
However, before she knew it,
Her Daddy would be gone.
♥
For her Daddy was very sick,
Even though it was hard to understand,
Until that dreadful day in April,
When God took him by the hand.
♥
Now her Daddy’s gone from Earth,
And when she calls his name,
He doesn’t come running to her anymore,
Yet she loves him just the same.
♥
Daddy’s little girl, thankful for her Dad,
Has peace in knowing, he’s in a good place,
Even though she’ll miss hearing his voice,
And seeing his smiling face.
♥
For Daddy’s little girl, now out on her own,
Has to settle for the memories of the man,
And raise his great-grandkids to know him,
The best way that she can.
♥
How desperately she’d love to have,
Her Daddy here with her,
She didn’t know how dark the fears,
That her Daddy carried were.
♥
Daddy’s little girl is so lost without him being near,
Even though it's hard for her, she comprehends,
No matter how much you love someone,
One day their time here ends.
♥
I’ll always be your little girl Daddy,
My love for you will never part,
For you reside with Jesus now,
And forever in my heart.
♥
Love always,
Marilyn.x.♥

Daddy... I miss YOU so much still!
How We Survive
If we are fortunate,
we are given a warning.
If not,
there is only the sudden horror,
the wrench of being torn apart;
of being reminded
that nothing is permanent,
not even the ones we love,
the ones our lives revolve around.
Life is a fragile affair.
We are all dancing
on the edge of a precipice,
a dizzying cliff so high
we can't see the bottom.
One by one,
we lose those we love most
into the dark ravine.
So we must cherish them
without reservation.
Now.
Today.
This minute.
We will lose them
or they will lose us
someday.
This is certain.
There is no time for bickering.
And their loss
will leave a great pit in our hearts;
a pit we struggle to avoid
during the day
and fall into at night.
Some,
unable to accept this loss,
unable to determine
the worth of life without them,
jump into that black pit
spiritually or physically,
hoping to find them there.
And some survive
the shock,
the denial,
the horror,
the bargaining,
the barren, empty aching,
the unanswered prayers,
the sleepless nights
when their breath is crushed
under the weight of silence
and all that it means.
Somehow, some survive all that and,
like a flower opening after a storm,
they slowly begin to remember
the one they lost
in a different way...
The laughter,
the irrepressible spirit,
the generous heart,
the way their smile made them feel,
the encouragement they gave
even as their own dreams were dying.
And in time, they fill the pit
with other memories
the only memories that really matter.
We will still cry.
We will always cry.
But with loving reflection
more than hopeless longing.
And that is how we survive.
That is how the story should end.
That is how they would want it to be.

Daddy...How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death...I shall love you Daddy forever...miss you so so much...xxx

Daddy it's been 3 years since you left us and it's not any easier. I miss seeing you, chatting with you, your jokes and cheeky comments...and your beautiful smile. I have a poem that says what I feel...
We're never ready to say goodbye
To someone we hold dear.
If it were up to us, dear Daddy,
We'd always kept you here.
But God had reasons of His own
And plans we cannot know,
And these are always for our good,
Though it may seem not so.
Our arms are empty and our hearts
are filled with tears and grief,
For we who loved each day with you,
now find those days too brief.
Yet if we could only heaven see,
we'd know you're happy there,
and we would never call you back
When such great joy you share.
And so we'll trust you to God's great care
And know some day, once more,
We'll hold you to our hearts again
When we reach heaven's shore.
Love you forever Daddy...xxxxxxx

Will I Forget?
After three long years of missing you, I have a newborn fear;
That as time goes by, my mind will fail, and my memory won't be clear.
Already I have problems in remembering the sound
Your sweet voice made in speaking-- oh, where can it be found?
I have photos by the hundreds, and your face will always be
Engraved upon my very heart, for you're the heart of me.
But how I long to hear your voice and see your loving smile!
To gaze upon your precious face, and talk with you a while.
I can't believe it's been three years-- It seems like yesterday;
Yet it also seems a million years since you went away.
Time doesn't work the way it did when you were still on earth;
Sometimes it crawls, sometimes it flies, it's hard to know time's worth.
But three years gone is three years less, I have to live alone,
And as the years roll slowly by, someday I'll be called Home.
And then I'll get to be with you, for all eternity,
How precious, then, will be our time, each day a symphony!
Oh, always, I'll remember you and all the things you are,
You are my Daddy, my precious Dad, my brightly shining star.
I will remember!
Loving you ever, forgetting you never,
Marilyn

☆ º ♥ `•.¸.•´ ♥ º ☆.¸¸.•´¯`♥ Daddy…Every day I wake up I hope I’m dreaming
I can’t believe this shit, can’t believe you’re not here
Sometimes it’s just hard to wake up, it’s hard to just keep going
It’s like I feel empty inside without you being here
I would do anything to bring you back
You were the greatest…you’ll always be the greatest
I miss you lots, I can’t wait till that day when I see your face again…
Every step I take...every move I make
Every single day, every time I pray I’ll be missing you
Thinking of the day that you went away
What a life to take, what a bond to break…I’ll be missing you
It’s really hard with you not around; know you’re in heaven smiling down
Watching us while we pray for you, every day we pray for you
Till the day we meet again, in my heart is where I’ll keep you Dad
Memories give me the strength I need to proceed
Strength I need to believe, my thoughts I just can’t define
Wish I could turn back the hands of time,
I still can’t believe you’re gone; I’d give anything to hear half your breath
I know you’re still living after death
On that morning when life is over I know I’ll see your face
Every day that passes is a day that I get closer to seeing you again…♥
I’ll love you till the end of time…love Mick xxxxxxxxx

Happy Birthday Daddy 19th November 2011…
“It’s sure to be the best one yet, though you left me here behind.
Did you think that I'd forget?
Your cake this year, will surely be, a beauty to behold.
With the icing made of Silver, and the candles made of Gold.
Yes your birthday in Heaven will be such a grand affair.
And I know you'll look so lovely, with a halo in your hair.
The Angels will come from everywhere, to sing your birthday song. And I know they'll be so happy,
That you've joined, God's Happy Throng
No I can't send a card this year, or give a gift so fine.
So I'll just send a special prayer, to that wonderful Daddy of mine!
3 years and it feels like a lifetime without you……I LOVE YOU and miss you Daddy! xxxxx
