Its been 9 years since you died, still hurts to think about you, you have two lovely great grandchildren who would have adored you, hopefully you have now met up with Fred on his journey and you are showing him the ropes!! Danielle and Courteney are both doing well, happy and being looked after by two amazing men. Mum has been really good lately and hopefully is enjoying life a bit better although as you know she broke her hip, (a night of stupidity) I think I have finally sorted her out at long last, its been hard, but I know you have been guiding me in the right thing to do. She misses you dearly. Pansy is on her way up to see you, bless her she sadly gave up last wednesday, she had a good life, mum babied her to the end, god bless Pansy. Been finding out loads about your family and found out that my oldest friend Lynda is part of our family, who would have believed that! Your Uncle Ruben was connected to the Batt family. Hope nan is ok with you and she is not causing havoc up there! Love you always,wish I could give you a big hug xxxxxx

Life has moved on a bit, mum is doing really well but misses you dearly, I know you were with her when she was having her own operations in hospital for cancer, I think she has done so well dad but still needs your guidance every now and again. We all miss you so much and it still hasnt sunk in what has happened, still a dream. I hope you are happy with Stephen and things are moving on for you. In time, I think I will be able to think and talk about you without shutting things out, too soon at present, but in time I hope I can do this with. I am so so proud that you were my dad you made me the person I am today. The kids still miss you and I hope that you can be with us on Danielles big day shining over us, thats Danielles big regret that you wont be there in person, but I know you will be with us in spirit. God bless you dad xxxx

Life just doesnt seem right without you, part of my heart has gone with you because I loved you so much. You were the best dad ever, not very cuddly, but I knew you loved me just the same. I could tell you lots of my secrets without you making any judgement. I miss you so so much. I hope that you are well now and Stephen is with you guiding you through your new life and that you are happy and not in pain.
