Death leaves a heartache no one can heal , love leaves a memory no one can steal
Sorry to the family Bryan was a lovely gentleman sorry for your loss love Karen and Frank and Iain xx
Poppa, slipped away quietly one day. We never got to give you a hug
before an angel took your hand and gave you a tug.
We never got to tell you goodbye before you got your wings and learned to fly.
All these things we wish we did; whether by choice or fate
we were too late… Chris, Edd, Felicity, Zoe and great granddaughter Lia xxx
Poppa, you are missed so much by everyone and I will always be looking out for your little signs around the house and garden. Rest in peace and no more pain. Love you
Rebecca, Reno, Lily, Mia, Noah and Lottie ♥️
Nearly time to say goodbye to our beautiful legend.
The gentleman that was my dad, our poppa, everyone’s friend.
We had a connection like no other that no one really understood. I feel so lucky that the universe chose you to be my dad, and my sons poppa.
We will miss you everyday until we meet again.
Your at peace now with the rest of the family.
Love you always and forever,
Caroline, wee Bryan and wee Clivey Joe ❤️
To my special family and our friends, these words are to encourage us to celebrate our dad, grandad’s and great grandad’s life and legacy and remind us not to focus on his death, but to remember all the special things he did when he was alive. Love to all…. We have lost so much, in such a short space of time. Halima 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 for 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, close your mind,
be empty, and turn your back.
Or you can do what he would
have wanted, smile, open your
eyes, love and move on. (I know this isn’t what we want to do, our dad would have wanted us too.)
Our wee daddy.
It was an honour and a privilege to have you in our lives. To let me love and care for you was a blessing.
That dreaded time has came and our hearts ache.
We have such wonderful memories of you and I know your at peace.
We will forever love you and will always be with you, and you with us.
Time to fly high.
You will be missed and loved always.
Christine, Nathan and Caleb xxxxx
