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

MISS ME - BUT LET ME GO
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free.
Miss me a little, but not too long,
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared,
Miss me, but let me go.
For this journey that we all must take,
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master's plan,
a step on the road to home.
When we are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
Miss me, but let me go.

MY CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
with tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular; please wipe away that tear,
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
for it's beyond description, to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me. I see the pain inside your heart,
but I am not so far away. We really aren't apart.
So, be happy for me dear ones, for you know I'm spending Christmas with Jesus this year.
I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above:
"My undying love!"
After all, "love" is the gift more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do,
for I can't count the many blessings or love He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus this year.

I Thank the Lord, For Being Born a Celtic Man
I thank the Lord, for being born a Celtic man
Raised on the stories of heroes and legends,
Were Parkhead has been a cathedral of song
Were Jock Stein’s men were welcomed home from Lisbon.
I thank the Lord, for being a born Celtic man
As the Gallowgate walk has been shared with friends
Who celebrated the pride of wearing the green & white
As they sung for Celtic and Ireland’s fight.
I thank the Lord, for being a born Celtic man
And for witnessing the goals scored by Larsson,
And with the grace of God and the faith of my team,
I will die a happy man, following the Hoops of green.
this is 4 jojo hope u like.. del boy xxx
You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
Or you can be full of the love that you shared,
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
4 my best bro in law JOE love u always adele
My Life changed, the very moment I found out
That you had passed away.
I couldn't stop it; there was nothing I could say.
You've touched my life so deeply to a point you will never know,
I try to think about you when I am feeling down and low.
Sometimes when my day gets hard
I will think about your beautiful smile
and if I listen hard enough I will hear your voice after a while.
It's you who give me a reason to go on with my day,
and now if I want to see you I'll bow my head and pray.
I catch myself looking for you still,
In the halls and at your front door,
but when I call your name there is no reply any more!
I never thought a day would come where we would be apart,
God has you in his keepings, we have you in our hearts.
Life will go on, but never will be the same,
your beautiful smile is gone, but it will always remain.
You're our angel from up above.
You'll always be missed, but most importantly... loved.
Just one more minute, God, is all I ask- why can't you give him back;
it seems like such a simple task.
I guess people are right when they say God only takes the best,
I know enough now that you're peacefully at rest.
IN MEMORY OF JOE XXXX
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you did not go alone
Part of me went with you,
the day God called you home.
A million times I've thought of you
A million times I've cryed
If loving could have saved you
You would have never died
Forgive me Lord, I'll always weep
For the husband I loved but could not keep.
Missin U Loads
Thinkin Of U Everyday
Love

DEAREST HUSBAND XXXX
Dearest Husband, I thank you with all of my heart
For sharing this journey called life
I'll be forever grateful
That I was blessed to be your wife
Grateful to have held your hand
To have loved you throughout the years
Amidst life's joys and challenges
In times of happiness and tears
Blessed to have built a life with you
To have created a family
For our love, and that of our children
Means everything to me.
I can hardly accept you've been taken away
I can hardly bear the thought
Of facing the future without you here
I'm still not sure how I'll get through this loss
Yet I'm comforted knowing how much you love us
And I'm certain you're still watching o'er..."
Missin U
Love
Joanne

DEAR HUSBAND IN HEAVEN XXXX
I sit here and ponder how very much
I'd like to talk with you today
There are so many things
That we didn't get to say.
I know how much you care for me
And how much I care for you,
And each time that I think of you
I know you'll miss me too.
An angel came and took you by the hand, and said
Your place was ready in Heaven, far above . . .
And you had to leave behind, all those you dearly loved
You had so much to live for, you had so much to do . . .
It still seems impossible that God was taking you.
And though your life on earth is past, in Heaven it starts anew
You'll live for all eternity, just as God has promised you.
And though you've walked through Heaven's gate
We are never far apart
For every time I think of you,
You're right here, deep with-in my heart.
Lots Of Love
Joanne
