Father
A Father is a special gift,
One you think will stay.
You never think the time will come,
When he is called away.
But when the moment comes,
And you never said goodbye.
The pain overwhelms you,
And all you do is cry.
You laughed with me in good times,
And cried with me, when sad.
You always went without for me,
You gave me all you had.
You taught me many things in life,
That I would have to do.
But, Dad you never taught me,
How to cope with losing you.
By:Debbie Burgess
THINKING OF YOU ALL
I asked the Lord to bless you
As I prayed for you today
To guide you and protect you
As you go along the way.
His love is always with you
His promises are true,
And when we give Him all our cares
He will always see us through.
So when the road you're traveling on
Seems difficult at best
Just remember I'm here praying
And God will do the rest
SENDING ALL MY LOVE ALWAYS ALISON XXXXX
George xxx
Gone are the days we used to share,
But in our hearts you are always there,
The gates of memory will never close,
We miss you more than anyone knows,
With tender love and deep regret,
We who love you will never forget.
xxx xxx
He left us quietly,
His thoughts unknown,
But left us a memory,
We are proud to own;
So treasure him Lord,
In Your garden of rest,
For when on earth,
He was one of the best

George's Tribute
George’s Tribute
On behalf of Hayley, Donna and Henry and all George’s family I would like to welcome you all and thank you for sharing this very sad occasion with them. George would have been proud of all the support you have shown his family at this very difficult time.
Many of you have left kind tributes and thoughts on George’s memorial page, today we will all remember George in our own special way and we all have our own personal memories of him.
George’s childhood friends in Preston and especially Mrs Crowe and her family who took great care of George in the early years, George had the greatest respect for the family and was grateful for all their kindness and love .And of course George’s Friends in Preston knew his real age, yes George wasn’t 57, nor 56, or 52 but 48, well George you’ve had the last laugh with that one!!!
George’s many friends in Bradford who I know meant a great deal to him, I can only apologise that I refer to nicknames, e.g. Lonely, Jan, Chessie Pie, and the list is endless, You all have George to thank for that!!!
George’s many friends in Ireland, Robbie, T Bags and Gummidge and I know there were many more of you who worked with George who will miss his great character and sense of fun.
George’s friends from far and wide who worked on the Oil Rigs with him, Benny, and Jimmy Wall Bash, to name but a few, George’s days of scaffolding soaring great heights were a far cry from George’s earlier thoughts of becoming a Priest.
And yes George did have aspirations to become a priest, this reflected George’s compassionate and caring nature as all of you will have been fortunate enough to experience.
As we all reflect on our personal thoughts of George and all the happy days we shared with him please remember Donna and Hayley Georges daughters and Grandson Henry whom George loved dearly.
George spoke with affection and love about all his family in Bradford and the happiness he shared with his beloved Cathy.
Dear Dad
What we'd give if we could say,
Hello, Dad, in the same old way;
To hear your voice, and see your smile,
To sit with you and talk awhile,
Our lives aren't going to be the same without you,
we were so proud to call you Dad
Give mum a kiss for us. We love you both, Love always Donna Hayley
And From Henry
Night Night Grandad. Love you and Nanna
Love.Henry
When we remember George think,
NOT HOW DID GEORGE DIE, BUT HOW DID HE LIVE.
NOT WHAT DID GEORGE GAIN, BUT WHAT DID HE GIVE GIVE
FOR THESE ARE THE UNITS TO MEASURE THE WORTH.
OF A MAN, AS A MAN, REGARDLESS OF BIRTH.
NOT WHAT WAS HIS CHURH, NOR WHAT WAS HIS CREED,
BUT HAD HE BEFRIENDED THOSE REALLY IN NEED.
W AS HE EVER READY WITH A WORD OF GOOD CHEER
TO BRING BACK A SMILE, TO BANISH A TEAR,
NOT WHAT DID THE SKETCH IN A NEWSPAPER SAY
BUT HOW MANY WERE SORRY WHEN HE PASSED AWAY.
rose once grew
where all could see,
sheltered beside
a garden wall,
And as the days passed
swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall...
One day, a beam of light
shone through
a crevice that had
opened wide ~
The rose bent gently
toward its warmth
then passed beyond
to the other side
Now, you who deeply
feel its loss,
be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~
its beauty even greater now,
nurtured by
God's own loving care.
