Of all the special gifts in life however great or small, to have you as our Grandad was the greatest gift of all. May the winds blow softly and whisper in your ear , "We love you Grandad and wish you were here" Forever in our hearts Grandad, Love your heartbroken Granddaughter Sophie, James, Aria, Ade & Abel x x x

Dad, The day you left and gained your wings, my heart broke in two, I wish you could have stayed with me but heaven needed you. You left me with the memories and I love you dearly still. No matter how much time goes by I know I always will. Goodnight and God bless Dad, love you always and forever, your ever loving Daughter Teresa and son in law Richie x x x.

John, although you sleep in heaven now you're not that far away. My heart is full of memories and you're with me everyday. You lived your life with meaning and a smile upon your face. A world that was full of happiness is now an empty place. People say that only time can heal a broken heart but just like me and you, it has been torn apart. I know you're at peace now and in a place that you are free. Meet me at the pearly gates when heaven calls for me. Good night and God bless John, Your ever loving wife Mary x x x

Duggie, We've missed you being here since you went away, but the happiness you brought to us is remembered everyday, so Goodnight and God bless Grandad, you really were the best. Miss you forever, your heartbroken Grandson Paul, Vicky, Heidi, Faith, Honor and Jose x x x.

Grandad, We miss you so much already and it's hard to say goodbye, but all the guidance and wisdom you shared with me will never leave my side. I'm glad you got to see me grow and I hope you know you played your part, even though you're resting now, you'll forever be in my heart. Win, lose or draw your words have always stayed and it's only right as heaven's gates open you know how big a game they played. "Son, football -It's a funny old game!"

Goodnight God bless Grandad, you will be missed forever.

Love you Grandson Scott, Jessica, Leo and Morgan x x x
