The moment that you died my heart was torn two, one side filled with heart ache, The other died with you. Love and miss you so much one year today since you left me wish I could see you one more time.

For all you were to me in Life and all the joy you brought Your memory is with me In every single thought The pain I felt at losing you Will never go away But knowing that Helps me through each day When you were here I always felt That nothing could go wrong But you're still my inspiration And your memory keeps me strong And though my heart is heavy It's also full of love And that's enough to comfort me While you're in heaven above love always xxxx

Missing you on your Birthday. Happy birthday dad love and missing you xxxx

The moment that you left me, my heart was split in two, one side was filled with memories, the other side died with you, I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheek. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, but missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly Within my heart and there you will remain, you see life has gone on without you, but it will never be the same. miss you so much Elizabeth Bower

Wir müssen den Becher trinken, den das Leben uns reicht, auch wenn er voll Leid ist. Wir müssen den Weg gehen, den das Leben uns weist, wenn er auch weit ist. Wir wollen das Schöne bewahren und über das Heilige wachen, wir wollen in dunklen Jahren durch unsere Tränen lachen. We must drink from the beaker That life passes us, Even if it is full of sorrow. We have to go the way That life shows us, Even if it is far. We want to preserve the beauty And watch over what is holy, In dark years we want to Laugh through our tears. Wolfgang Borchert (1921-1947), German poet

God saw you were getting tired And a cure was not to be So he put his arms around you And he whispered "come to me" With tearful eyes we watched you We watched you fade away Although we loved you dearly We could not make you stay A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands at rest God broke our hearts to prove to us He chose to take the best It's lonesome here without you We miss you more each day Life doesn't seem the same Since you have gone away When days are sad and lonely And everything goes wrong We seem to hear you whisper "Cheer up and carry on" Each time we see your picture You seem to smile and say "Don't cry, I'm in God's hands We'll meet again someday"

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you never went alone, For a part of us went with you, The day god took you home. A million times we missed you, A million times we cried, If love could have saved you, you never would have died. If tears could build a stairway, And memories could make a lane, We would walk right up to heaven, And bring you home again. Love you always Granddad xxx

I wish heaven had a phone , so I could hear your voice again, . I thought of you today, but that is nothing knew .I thought of you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often call your name. all I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake from which I'll never part. God has you in his arms, But I have you in my heart Love you, Elizabeth xxx

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
