I have made this site in loving memory of my dear grandad, the only grandparent i ever new, i miss him so much, we were very close.

He passed away on the 9th Decemeber 2005, he had a fall at his home and was admitted into hospital where he went down hill quickly, he was confused and then he couldnt talk, he then slipped into a coma, his kidneys then failed and his body shut down he didnt feel anything and he went piecefully with the people he wanted around him, i held him as his heart gave its last beat then he went to wait for his greatgrand daughter Taylor jade carter as he must have new she would follow him 5 months down the line, i love them both with all my heart and miss then so much that it hurts me everyday xxxx my life isnt the same without them two in it.

all my love grandad, Rebecca xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

my grandad was a fantastic man who worked all his life to bring up his 4 children, one of those is my mum, he brought them all up very well, his wife (my grandma) passed away when my mum was just 19 so he still had to work to look after his ill wife and his 4 children, he eventually lived alone when his children grew up and my lovely grandma passed away.

i was always round his we used to go shoping together when i was younger but this soon ended as he went blind and couldnt hear that well but he still insisted he lived alone he was very independant and still managed to do things around his home.
He was the best grandad ever and i mean that with all my heart and soul, he was a true man and defantly made alot of people smile.
i remember at his funeral i read a piece of writting out of some of the memories we had shared together, people smiled as well as cried, he had a damm good life and now i no hes resting in peace xxxxxxxx

To my special family xxxxx
I'm right here in your Heart

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see.
If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled
with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way you did today, While thinking of the many
things we didn't get to say, I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you. And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand. That an angel came and called my
name and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready
In Heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind, All those
things I dearly love.



But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye,
For all of life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, So much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you, and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized, that that could never be,
For emptiness and memories, Would take the place of me.



And when I thought of Worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, From his great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity, and all I've promised you.
Today your life on Earth is past, But here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last, and since each day's the same day,
There's no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true, Though there were times you did some
things, you know you shouldn't do.



But you have been forgiven, And now at last you're free,
So won't you take my hand And share My life with Me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me,

I'm right here in your Heart

Dear Albert, watch over your Grandaughter with love and pride, she loves and misses you very much. Be her Guardian Angel and guide her through her life.

Your Grandad sounds a great man, you have your special memories that you can cherish and hold them in your heart. Just as I do. Some people dont realise how special Grandparents are do they! Take care xx
