Dad served in the R.A.F at 26 he worked as a safety equipment worker at the central flying school at
Little Rissington. He married my mum colleen and had three children, Donna, Debbie and Chris He had
one son Carl by his second wife.
Dad fell down stairs and for the last few years of his life was paralysed from the neck down. And
was unable to take care of himself and had to have twenty-four hour care. His remaining years he
lived at the Legrand Nursing Home. I wish to thank Tom for the care of Dad.
He has six grandchildren, Adam, Matthew, Luke, Beth, Dan and Tia.
Dad also worked as a landscape gardener.
Be a gardener
Dig a ditch,
toil and sweat,
and turn the earth upside down and seek the deepness
and water the plants in time.
Continue this labor
and make sweet floods to run and noble and abundant fruits to spring.
Take this food and drink and carry it to God as your true worship.
Hi Dad, Chris came down for mothers day, it was a lovely surprise. He talked about Tia his daughter most of the time. It's nice to hear him talk about his daughter. He told us that he would like another baby so you never know, you might have a seventh grandchild. Adam is thinking of getting his own house, hes all grown up. Remember going to uncle Rogers and the dog he had then, how it bit Adam, you were so angry when you brought him home.
Matt is doing well in college and I'm sure you are very proud of all the grand children. I hope you see grandad and Pepe, Ben and Jinks take care of them dad lovexxx
Believe in yourself By Dena Dileconi
Believe in yourself, and Remember that Anything is possible
Believe in what makes you feel good,
and what makes you happy.
Believe in the dreams you've always wanted to come true,
and give them every chance to.
If you are willing to take the opportunities you are given and utilize the abilities you have,
you will constantly fill your life with special moments and unforgettable times.
No one knows the mysteries of life, or its ultimate meaning, but for those who are willing to believe in their dreams and in themselves, life is a precious gift in which anything is possible.
These words are so very true, I remember elling how much I want to be a writer, you didn't laugh at me or make fun but what you did was buy me my first eletric typwriter. I still have it to this day. You encourged when no one else would and for your faith in me and your encouragement I wish to thank you so very much.
Symphony from the Celtic book by Robert Van De Weyer
There is no music so gentle,
No sound so sweet,
No praise so pleasant
As the praise, sound, and music
Of that simple word "Love".
The word itself is like a song,
It conjures images of all that is good.
On the lips it's like a soothing drink.
Let's dance, sing, and play
The symphony of love.
By Charlotte Mew
I SO LIKED SPRING
Dad I found this beautiful poem and thought of you.
I so liked Spring last year
because you were here
The thrushes too
Because it was those you so liked to hear
I so liked you.
This years a different thing
I'll not think of you.
But I'll like spring becausee it is simply spring
As the thrushes do.
Hi Dad, guess whose come, Chris came up yesterday and is staying until Sunday morning.
Leena and Tia are at home it would have been nice to see them. You would love Tia, she's a little sweetheart.
We haven't seen much of Chris today, he went to Debs to fix Matts computer he's now watching television. He was talking about you last night, saying how he would love to talk to you man to man talk. That I think is what he misses most.
I miss you and I too wish that I could talk to you.

Shooting star that fell into my eyes and through my body
Not to forget you.
I believe in the sun even when it is not shining.
I believe in love even when feeling not.
If the love you have for me is like the love I have for you,
Shooting star that fell into my eyes and through my body.
Dad I promised you will never be forgotten.
Dad I was thinking about you today about how you encouraged me to write. You bought me my first eltetric typewriter. Now I have my computer and have come a long way with my writing, hopefuly the novel I'm working on at the moment will be published.
I think that you would enjoy reading but there again maybe not. It's a teenage supernatual horror about a vampire. I have several projects on the go but am working on this novel first though.
I have a kitten Eragon, think you would like him and our dog Zack. I wish that you were here to talk to.
God Jehovah is my shepherd
I shall lack nothing.
In grassy pastures he makes me lie down.
By well-watered resting-places he conducts me.
My soul he refreshes.
He leads me in the tracks of righteousness for his names sake.
Even though I walk in the valley of deep shadow,
I fear nothing bad.
For you are with me,
Your rod and your staff are the things that comfort me.
Souls do not disintegrate and die:
Years pass and yet they do not fade away.
Memories are like a distant star
Pouring forth its light across the void.
All our tears and laughter do not lie:
Though we pass like dreams, our spirits stay,
Held fast by love, which is just what we are,
Yet in a form that cannot be destroyed.
By Nicolas Gordon
Matthew 5:3-10
Blessed are the poor in spirit:
for theirs is the kingdom of heave.
Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek:
for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which hunger and thirst after righteousness:
for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful:
for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart:
for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers:
for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake:
for their's is the kingdom of heaven.
