Our parents lived near Norwich all their lives.They had 6children 20granchildren, 21greatgranchildren. They were married for nearly 55years.
They died a week apart June 2006 . Our dad died suddenly from an burst iliac aneurysm which could have been operated on but the hospital failed to pick up what was happening.Our mum was poorly for a few years but dad going so quick broke her heart and she died a week later.

All their family miss them so much.They were very special people and were thought a lot of by anyone who knew them.The church was packed on the funeral day.They loved life and lived it to the full especially when they were younger.
Dad was a crane driver my brother joked with him and called him"kenny boy burton crane driver extraordinaire" he traveled all over the world.Mum stayed at home and looked after the family.
Only once she join him abroad that was to go to South Africa for 2years.
They both had outgoing personalities and dad would dance the night away at family parties. We will miss them forever.

Memorial candle and tribute names still a bit muddled I think it's because we use the same email address,i'll try and amend it soon when they tell me how to do it.


"Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again".

The moment that you both died,
My heart split in two.
The one side filled with memories,
The other died with you two.
I often lay awake at night ,
When the world is fast asleep.
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you both is easy,
I do it every day.
But missing you both is a heartache,
That never goes away.
I hold you both within my heart,
And there you will remain.
Life has gone on without you both,
But it will never be the same.
For those who still have their parents,
Threat them with tender care
You will never know the emptiness
As when you turn and they are not there.


For my DAD.
A gentle wind blew across the land,
Reaching out to take a hand,
For on the winds the Angels came,
Calling out my Fathers name,

Left behind, his children's tears,
Loving memories of the years,
Of joy and love, A life well spent,
And now to God my Father went.

On Angels wings,a heavenly flight,
The journey home, towards the light,
To those who weep, A life is gone,
But in Gods love,'tis but the dawn.


For my MUM.

God called your name so gently,
That only you could hear,
No-one heard the footsteps,
Of our angel dad drawing near,
Softly from the shadows,
There came a gentle call,
You closed your eyes and
Went to sleep,
And quietly left us all.


If you could only see the tears
in the world you left behind,
If only you could heal our hearts
one more time,
Even when I close my eyes there's
an image of your face,
And once again I come to realize
You're a loss I can not replace.


For Mum and Dad from Debbie

The world is full of people
But very few are so caring
as both of you were,
Smiles so contagious
Hearts of gold
To engulf me with love untold,
This I will remember
Every time I hear your names.
Without you both to hold me close
Life will never be the same.
I know you are not far away
Shining stars up in the sky
And when I say goodnight
God Bless,
I never say good bye.xx


You can shed tears that they are gone,
or you smile because they lived.
You can close your eyes and pray,
that they will come back.
Or you can open your eyes
and see all they have left.

Your heart can be empty because
you can't see them, or you can be full
of the love 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 them
and that they have gone,
or you can cherish their
memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind be empty,
and turn your back, or you can,
do what they would want,
Open your eyes, love and go on.
