My dad was 53 when he passed at Compton Hospice where he spent his last 10 days.I had a wonderful relationship with my dad he was my best friend.He was a very talented musician and singer and played on the club circuit for over 30 years,he was happily married to my mom for 32 years until he passed.He had a passion for music and racing pidgeons for which he entered competitions & won trophies.My dads passing hit me very hard,as from diagnosis until we lost him,was only 10 weeks,for which most of it was spent at home- cared for by mum & me. Caring for someone suffering from this cruel disease is so hard - watching a strong man dissapear day by day is heartbreaking,you feel so helpless. We did all his medication,but the pain got so bad,we couldnt control it,and decided he needed care from paliative nurses who specialised in pain relief for terminally ill patients. The doctors & nurses at Compton Hospice were made of pure gold-they made him comfortable,&were there day or night for us to discuss our fears,or answer any questions we had, nothing was too much trouble - i cant praise them highly enough. After 10 days, dad passed away on 25th October 2001 at 03.55am with my mom & 2 close friends at his side. I couldnt go in- i was afraid, i dont know why,id been there all the way through,but i just couldnt do it- i regret it to this day,i feel i let him down. Its been 8 years this year since we lost him,& i miss him every day,im lucky i have my mom,my 2 lovely daughters and wonderful friends that have kept me going. Its silly things that take me back,like saturday teatime,ironing his stage shirts while dad had a snooze & mom got ready to go to his booking - or my car playing up, or decorating,which we always did together,and had a right old laugh while doing it! This is how i want to remember my dad, not in pain,or in a hospice,no matter how lovely the place was- i have to remember the good times,the laughs and the wonderful father he was- i was so lucky. I had a respect for my dad that can never be matched,by anyone, and i know i will see him again one day,up above,in another world. Until then, god bless you my lovely dad,my best friend,my mentor and my hero - i will love & miss you every day of my life.xxxxx

I'm in this special garden
where I dwell with god above
He watches over all of us
and gives us all his love.

And in gods special garden
all our dear friends will be
sat amongst the flowers
discussing you and me.

Baby Angels ,wings so bright
fluttering in the soft sunlight
looking down and wondering why
all below are sad,and cry

Remember us with joy they say
we'll be together again one day
and in gods garden we we will share
all his love and tender care.

Then once again you'll smile with me
as all together we will be
So do not weep or cry in pain
Im sending you sunshine, not the rain

The gentle breeze, its only me
sitting quietly by your knee
A soft caress
A whisper low
telling you that I love you so

So do not worry while I'm away
we'll be together again one day.

ALL MY LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. GOD BLESS YOU BEAUTIFUL ANGEL. XOXO

We go through life so often
Not stopping to enjoy the day,
And we take each one for granted
As we travel on our way.

We never stop to measure
Anything we just might miss,
But if the wind should blow by softly
You'll feel an angel's kiss.

A kiss that is sent from Heaven
A kiss from up above,
A kiss that is very special
From someone that you love.

For in your pain and sorrow
An angel's kiss will help you through,
This kiss is very private
For it is meant for only you.

So when your hearts are heavy
And filled with tears and pain,
And no one can console you
Remember once again.....

About the ones you grieve for
Because you sadly miss
And the gentle breeze you took for granted
Was just......... "an angel's kiss."

From Me


If you see a sunset, it's me, smiling
From behind it.
If I go away far, and you see a star
If you find it,
I'm inside it.
You can fold it, and hold it forever,
If you hide it.
If our words and worlds sever -- if ever
I lose you;
If two thousand light-years or seven
Confuse you;
Remember me. Here and in Heaven
I'll see you.
I'll be beguiling my filing, still smiling
To see you.
When mountains, magenta and molded
Turn red,
Like you said,
You'll find the feeling you folded
Not dead.
You'll steal the swirling sky, turning
With me.
You won't be bounded, but burning
And free.




Written by Anna Williams at age 22

Where do they go to?

Where do they go to, the people who leave?
Are they around us, in the cool evening breeze?
Do they still hear us, and watch us each day?
I'd like you to think of them with us that way.

Where do they go to, when no longer here?
I think that they stay with us, calming our fear
Loving us always, holding our hands
Walking beside us, on grass or on sand.

Where do they go to, well it's my belief
They watch us and help us to cope with our grief
They comfort and stay with us, through each of our days
Guiding us always through life's mortal maze.

So go and run free

So go and run free with the angels
Dance around the golden clouds
For the lord has chosen you to be with him
And we should feel nothing but proud
Although he has taken you from us
And our pain a lifetime will last
Your memory will never escape us
But make us glad for the time we did have
Your face will always be hidden
Deep inside our hearts
Each precious moment you gave us
Shall never, ever depart
So go and run free with the angels
As they sing so tenderly
And please be sure to tell them
To take good care of you for me

I Stand Before You

I stand before you all today
But not one eye can see my way

My time arrived, to leave this earth
A fact so planned, to every birth

It happened where I had to go
My torch for life was so aglow

I transferred while in uniform
Protecting freedom, through a storm

Should I resent I died for you
Not on my life, red white and blue

Please help my family through each day
Tell all my friends, try not to stray

And of the country I did love
Do think of me, through God above

Your memories, brought forth this day
Send love to us, who could not stay

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL OUR BEAUTIFUL ANGELS IN HEAVEN ABOVE AND ALL THOSE FALLEN SOLDIERS FROM EVERY WHERE THAT KEEP US SAFE. ALL MY LOVE AND GOD BLESS YOU XOXO

We’ll never forget you gave your all
That others can be free
You paid the ultimate earthly price
Immortal you will ever be.

We walk the byways, streets of towns
Country lanes, through parks
At ease, at peace, possible because
Of missions upon which you embarked.

When there is no setting sun
And tides stretch out o'er all the land
No birds to fly, no songs to sing
Then we'll come and take your hand.

For now we won't forget
An emptiness your parting left
You gave your life in freedom's call
In God’s eyes you're ever blessed.

YOU ARE ALWAYS IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. ALL MY LOVE GLORIA XOXO

Inevitable Reality
by Liz Waller

The clouds move on, the earth turns grey;
The happiness I felt, has quickly gone away;
The whisper of the wind, seems to call my name;
I try to respond, but it seems I'm not the same;
Time elapses slowly, into the universe;
It's definitely not a pleasure, nor is it a curse;
Nothing seems to matter, no one seems to care;
I reached out to touch you, but you're not really there;
Everything I see, and everything I feel;
Sometimes seems like a dream, where nothing there is real;
I grasp onto reality, and try to play this game;
But every single thing, always remains the same;
The mist is finally fading, the truth is here to stay;
The illusions are finally passing, the lies have gone away;
But reason cannot save me, tears will not heal;
I've giving it some time, to see what will be revealed;
No one has the answers, no one holds the key;
I’m wishing for a miracle, that you'd belong to me;
Until then, I’m lost with my solitude;
Lost in this window, with no view.

When I Get To Heaven
by Emily McAdams
At last I reach my final home
The gates swing open wide
I get a glimpse of glory
I can't wait to get inside.

An angel beckons to me
I hurry up to him
He opens up a golden book
And lets me look within.

I see my name is written
On the page that he turns to
He says you finally made it
I've been waiting here for you.

He points in one direction
And tells me "go that way"
So I start my tour of heaven
The place I get to stay.

I see the many mansions
And walk the streets of gold
And hear the angels praising God
Just like I had been told.

And then I spot my loved ones
They've been here many years
We hug and kiss each other
All smiles, there are no tears.

I look around for Jesus
I know He'll soon appear
I want to kneel and praise Him
He's the reason I am here.




He took upon Himself my sins
He paid the price for me
And by His victory over death
He finally set me free.

Free from all my worldly sins
And the evil Satan sent
Jesus came into my heart
Because I did repent.

I'll finally get to thank Him
When I bow before His throne
For all the times He carried me
When I couldn't walk alone.

I'll dwell with Him in heaven
With no sorrow, tears or pain
This was His promise to me
When to this earth He came.

There are many mansions up here
There's room for all of you
So to join us all in heaven
I'll tell you what to do.

Accept Jesus as your Savior
He will wash your sins away
He's waiting here to greet you
When you join us here one day.


ALL MY LOVE SWEET ANGEL. SHINE BRIGHT DOWN ON YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. WE MISS YOU DOWN HERE. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT, LOVE ALWAYS GLORIA XOXO

A Face In The Clouds:
I looked towards the clouds today
and for a moment saw your face
And wondered just were you have gone
with a hope it's a better place

Did you show yourself to me today
to tell me you're alright?
Or was it just a daydream
playing tricks upon my sight

Then I thought of when you left
you did not say a word
No hugs and kisses..
no good-bye was heard

You have changed our lives forever
Your time here not in vain
and hope you know we always tried
to keep you safe from pain

We will always feel the void inside
because you are not here
But each new thought you send our way
let's us know you're always near

So until our journey nears it's end
And we hear the angels sing
We'll face each new day as it comes
and live off the love you bring

*****************************************************************
