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

SMILE FOR ME XX

I want to say don't miss me
Don't keep crying tears
I can see you every day
As you face up to your fears

You can talk to me still
Even though I'm not here
I am only sleeping now
And every day I'm near

When you see a rainbow
That's where i now dwell
And when the sun shines down
Don't let your eyes swell

Laugh and i will laugh with you
Blow kisses up to the sky
For i will always be with you
I am asleep i did not die

I AM GOD'S ANGEL XX

If god tells you i am sleeping
Dont doubt what he says
He needed me to be his angel
The day that i went away

He treats me like a king
Gave me my palace in the sky
And now i guide the suffering
So dont keep asking why

Im proud that god chose me
As he only picks the best
He dont need no interviews
He know im better than the rest

So please be happy for me
And be proud of what i do
For one day soon i promise
This angel will call on you

MEMORIES

I opened up a box one day
What treasures did I find!
Letters and some photographs
Of days we left behind
I drifted back to yesterday
The thought was oh, so clear
For just a moment, anyway
It felt like you were here
I smile when I think of you
Sometimes I cry so much
I'm all alone without you now
I crave to feel your touch
But God had other plans for you
An Angel he did find
So now my box of memories
Is all that's left behind

GOODNIGHT SWEETHEART..

[♥]†[♥]†[♥ ]† [♥]†[♥]†[♥]† [♥]†[♥]†[♥]

Each morning when we awake
we know that you are gone,
and know one knows the heartache
as we try to carry on.

[♥]†[♥]†[♥ ]† [♥]†[♥]†[♥]† [♥]†[♥]†[♥]

Our hearts still ache with sadness
and many tears still flow,
what it meant to loose you
no one will ever know.

[♥]†[♥]†[♥ ]† [♥]†[♥]†[♥]† [♥]†[♥]†[♥]

Our thoughts are always with you
your place no one can fill,
in life we loved you dearly,
in death we love you still.
[♥]†[♥]†[♥ ]† [♥]†[♥]†[♥]† [♥]†[♥]†[♥]


There will always be a heartache
and often a silent tear,
but always a precious memory
of the days when you were here.

[♥]†[♥]†[♥ ]† [♥]†[♥]†[♥]† [♥]†[♥]†[♥]

LOVE JUDE.X

On your angel day

We think about you always,
we talk about you still,
you have never been forgotten,
and you never will.
We hold you close within our hearts,
and there you will remain,
to walk with us throughout our lives
until we meet again.

LOVE LEAVES LIVES A MEMORY NO ONE CAN STEAL"

Dad

Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.

What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.

What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.

Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.

Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.

Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.

Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.

Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.
