This Memorial is for a wonderful and most caring Husband,Father,Son,Brother and Uncle who is sadly
missed by all his family and friends.

Joe was in hospital for 3 1/2 weeks prior to his passing, he had been told by the doctors that he
was makin a wonderful recovery and that he would be home in time for christmas.

Christmas day 2007 got the phone call to say that joe was not coming home for christmas as he was
not well enough, both myself and the children were really upset by this as we had been looking
forward to joe being there.

So we continued to be there at every visit afternoon and night.Through out all these visits we were
promised joe could be allowed out even if it was only for an hour or two.
Everyday was the same he was making progress but was not well enough to leave his hospital bed.

Then came the 14th of january i arrived at the hospital to visit joe at 7:30pm was not allowed to go
straight in as he was having blood took, so i was left sitting outside the ward with a nurse coming
out every 5 minutes saying you can go in shorlty we are just taking blood from joe it wont be long.I
was finally allowed to go in to see joe and i almost walked right passed his bed, he was not the
same person i had left in the hospital the night before, He was just not my joe he was hooked up to
oxygen, blood pressure monitor etc,
then the doctor arived and told us that joe was seriously ill, he asked to speak to me on my own at
which point i turned to joe and said i would not be long. The doctor took me into a room and then
told me the words i had been dreading that my husband was not going to make it through the next
hour.I then went out and made the phone calls to my family and to joe's family to let them know what
was happening.

I was sitting at joe's bedside knowing that i did not have long left with the person i had spent the
last 15 years of my life with,Then from the side of me a nurse appeared she had come in to make joe
a bit more comfortable at this point watching them move my husband about his hospital bed i could
see his life draining away from him.

My husband had passed away exactly 8 minutes after me making the last phone call to family to
explain what the doctor had told me.

That night was the most saddest night of my life i felt as thou my heart had been ripped right out
of my body, how was i going to get through this how was i going to explain to our two children that
their dad was no longer here to be with them.

Our two kids and myself miss joe terribly but know that he is looking down on us everyday .

R.I.P.JOE

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE

Missing you more and more
Thinking about you everyday
You are never more than a thought away and will be forever in our hearts.

Nite Nite
Sleep Tight
Till We Meet Again
Lots of Love

GOOD MORNING SWEET ANGEL.

A loving gift of Rose's, just one can say it all,
To stand upon time's table, until the petals fall,
To draw the sun of morning, but no more to feel the dew,
On the other side of rose's,
I hurt from losing you.

On the other side of rose's with broken dreams and tears,
Not a shadow of despair, to recall, the precious years,
Alive I seen a rose in you, and feel your memory true,
On the other side of rose's,
My life I shared with you.

With petals gone to fade away, but leave sweet memories,
A velvet touch straight from the heart,
With love shown for me,
As shadows pass with setting sun,
There will forever be,
On the other side of rose's,
Your loving memory.

BY Billy M. Smallwood.

G od took you gently by the hand,
O n wings of love to another land,
N estled in the clouds up high,
E ternal live he gave you in the sky,

T he ones left behind have broken hearts,
O h they did not want you to depart,
O ne day you will all meet again,

S aving a place and no more pain,
O n wings of love in Heaven above,
O ur hearts are filled with lots of love,
N ever more then a heartbeat away,

Gone too soon but remembered every single day.

Golden Gates xxxx

WHEN THE GOLDEN GATES OF HEAVEN OPENED AND THE ANGELS CALLED YOUR NAME
WE KNEW RIGHT THERE AND THEN OUR LIFES WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME
FOR YOU ARE MISSED AND FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS EACH DAY
WE THINK OF YOU EVERY MOMENT AND REMEMBER YOU IN OUR OWN WAY

FOR WE ARE TOLD THAT THE LORD ABOVE ONLY TAKES THE BEST
HE SAW ALL YOUR PAIN AND KNEW YOU NEEDED TO REST
ATHOUGH OUR HEARTS ARE BROKEN WE WILL MEET AGAIN
ONLY THEN WILL WE NOT FEEL THIS NEVER ENDING PAIN

SO WAIT AT THOSE GOLDEN GATES FOR EACH AND EVERYONE YOU LOVE
FOR ONE DAY WE WILL JOIN YOU IN THE BEAUTIFUL GARDEN IN HEAVEN ABOVE
FOR OUR LOVE IS ETERNAL IT WILL NEVER DIE FOR YOU
WE FEEL YOU AROUND US EACH DAY JUST LIKE YOU ALWAYS USED TO DO......

Miss You Loads

Miss ya loads each n everyday
In my heart is where you'll stay
I know in time I'll see you again
U were my husband but also a friend

Your life was oh so short
But think of the lessons u taught
U were the heart of all the family
Now ur gone it deeply saddens me

Just to hear ur voice wud be great
But I guess I'll just have to wait
When my time on earth is done
You know we'll have so much fun.

NEW JOB

Hi joe

Just thought i would let u know starting to get things back on track,as you probably already know i am due to go back out to work.Don't think i would have got the job(felt that you were there with me at the interview) had it not been for a little help from you.
Thinking of you all the time, myself and the kids are missing you terribly, just wish i could turn back the clock and we would all still be one big happy family.

Sending you loads and loads of love

Joanne
