Dad, it still doesn’t seem real that you’re gone, maybe because I just don’t want to say goodbye. But it’s time dad, you’d fought long and hard enough for us all, and we’ve got a lifetime of love and memories to see us through. We’re going to miss you so much dad but we’ll try and keep your positivity and strength going. Thank you for being the best dad and grandad and for everything you did for us all, which was everything. Watch over our girls dad and we’ll do our best to keep making you proud. Love you always, your broken-hearted son Neil, daughter-in-law Clare, and your little girls Anais & Amelie xxxx

God saw you getting weary Stephen, so he did what he thought best he put his arms around you and whispered come and rest. Good night and god bless love Uncle Ritchie , Auntie Jane and all the family x

Our prayers and love go out to our Marie and all our cousins and stephens family. We are thinking of you and have been thinking of you all throughout.
Such a strong, proud family man who has left us happy memories to cherish forever.
May you rest in peace and out of pain now Stephen.
All our love
Coleen, Wayne & Boys
