This is a memorial to the memory of my brother John..Big Bro. He was married and had three children and two grandchildren He was very proud of his family and was a good Dad, Husband and Grandfather.
He was a great brother and had a fantastic sense of humour.
John died suddenly, of a heart attack and his last thoughts were of his family who were devastated by his death.
Our Father George was left without a son and I without a brother. I still cannot believe its true that he has gone, I picture his face then I realise that we will not see him again. The shock of his sudden death upset everyone, his family friends and work colleagues.
Johns funeral was a good service, with music and words chosen by his wife and three children.
Losing my only sibling is going to leave a huge hole in my life, I have two little girls of my own to care for and they will keep me busy.
Love and miss you John Your Sis..."Young Un" Julie XXX
Well, it has been a month since John died and it does not seem to get the slightest bit easier. The sense of loss and heavy heart is just as strong as before. I want my Big Bro back but I know that sounds silly because he cannot come back to us. If there is a greater place for us all to go to after death, then I know John will be there with our dear Mother June Atkinson who died in 1988, our family who passed on and the family of Johns wife Sue. Love as always "Young Un" Julie XXX

Dad xxx
Thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.
I think of you in silence,
I often speak your name.
All I have are memories and a picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part.
God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.
Always and forever

a letter from heaven
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
