Henry James once said, Sorrow comes in great waves...but it rolls over us, and though it may almost smother us it leaves us on the spot and we know that if it is strong we are stronger in as much as it passes and we remain.
My grandad never liked to be the center of attention. If he were with us now, he would want us to take the focus off him and put it on us. He would not want us to focus on the sadness of his death, but instead look at the happiness we still have in our lives. He would want us to look at each other and appreciate what we have together and what we hope to make better.
I have much consolation in the good feelings my memories give me.
He was a great teacher to have, not only for me, but also for everybody he came into contact with. He was selfless and kind. He loved being a parent and grandparent. It was his calling in life.
Grandad, I will miss your bear hugs, and roaring laugh. You were a wonderful role model in my life, and a great friend. When I am up beside you, be sure to remind me that I owe you quite a lot for the person that I am. I hope you accept that as gratuity for all the wonderful memories that you gave me

A sadly missed Uncle
As a child i always got exited when uncle George was either coming to Birmingham or i was going to Leeds.He and my aunt Joan were very good to me.I will never forget my week on holiday in Easington with them.I will never forget uncle George,his chuckle,his smile and his kindness,he is sadly missed,Danny.
i found this for you
DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP
I AM NOT THERE, I DO NOT SLEEP
I AM A THOUSAND WINDS THAT BLOW.
I AM THE DIAMOND GLINTS ON SNOW.
I AM THE SUNLIGHT ON RIPENED GRAIN.
I AM THE GENTLE AUTUMN RAIN.
WHEN YOU AWAKEN IN THE MORNING HUSH
I AM THE SWIFT UPLIFTING RUSH
OF BIRDS IN CIRCLED FLIGHT,
I AM THE SOFT STARS THAT SHINE IN THE NIGHTS,
I AM THERE... MY SPIRIT FLIES!

PSALMS 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Dear Grandad
when I found out that you where finally at rest I was happy you where no longer in pain but also with that news I was now in pain and so was anyone who ever met you, because thats the type of person you are. you make everyones day better just by being in the room with you because you are one of the greatest person I have ever met and i will always miss you and love you.
Your Grandson Ashley.
Love always, rest in peace
To my Father in law
Hi George,
we never got to have that final beer, pity, could have been a good session. I thank you for your friendship, and I really should have listened to you over marrying your daughter, but I didn't, and I don't regret it for a minute. Your grandsons are besides themselves at the way your second wife has imposed her interpretation of your wishes on your final resting place and chosen location for the service - you should be with your true love "Joan" to rest out your days.
May Sharon rot in hell.
May your rest be peaceful now.
Fondest memories
Mark
Wonderful dad, grandad and greatgrandad
To my darling dad, sorry I did not make it in time to say good bye. I did try but whilst I was flying here you could not hold on. You family back in Australia are devestated and are thinking of you. Sadily I will not be able to say goodbye at your funeral as i will be flying home back to Australia. All you need to remeber is how much you are loved and will be missed by all of us. I know you are looking down over us and please give mum a big hug from us.
Sleep soundly all our love Kim (dolly Mary) Mark, Leigh, Ashley and the great grandson you never got to meet Riley xx
