~ In Loving Memory ~

My dad Daniel (better known as Danny) was a great father to myself Madeleine and my siblings, Marion, Daniel, Michael and Julie. He was a hard worker all his life and always had a smile on his face. He had a great sense of humour and loved all of his many grandchildren and was great with them even when they were babies. To this day my dad is still greatly missed by my mom Rita, who he had spent most of his life with. It's been 11 years since we lost him to cancer at the age of 66, which was far too young to go. He is always thought about by all of us and every year that goes by we miss him more and more.

I am sure that on his passing he was re-united with his father, John Byron who is also greatly missed. They have since had a great grand-daughter, Tia join them, my grand-daughter who we lost in March 2008. The 3 of them will be together now watching over all of us.

He was born in Dublin, Ireland. He had 1 sister, May who unfortunately we lost touch with many years ago. From a young, newly married man, him and my mom travelled from Ireland to England where they lived for a short while in Great Yarmouth. They then moved on to Birmingham, where my dad lived out the rest of his days.

It's a shame he never got to meet his great-grandchildren as he would have loved them all, he even has a few more on the way.

Dad you are always in our thoughts and in our hearts and we'd have given anything to have you longer. Love you xxxxxxxxxx

On the Day You Died


The world got colder on the day you died
Everything around was drab and dull
You brought such warmth to the world around
Your soul was kind and rare and beautiful.

My world just stopped on the day you died
I can't fathom life without you here
Why is it fate can bring bonds so deep,
And then fate can make life disappear?

I'll always remember the day you died
And that raw aching hole- you were gone
Time dulled the pain and I longed for it back
It seemed a betrayal to move on.

I wasn't prepared for the day you died
Your life slipped away much too soon
And even as time lets me laugh once again
A piece of my heart went with you.

sunflowers

dads are like sunflowers in the garden
head and shoulders above the rest

A 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.

I’m Free...

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found that peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now; He set me free.

To my Grandad...x

God saw you getting tired,
A cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you,
And whispered come to me.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best!

pennies from heaven
Found a penny today
laying on the ground
but its not just a penny
this little coin I found

Pennies come from heaven
that's what I was always told
They say angels toss them down
oh, how I love this story

They say when an Angel misses you
They toss a penny down
sometimes just to cheer you up
To make a smile out of a frown

So, don't pass by that penny
When you're feeling blue
It may be a penny from Heaven
That DANNY tossed to you
