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
The night you left me I sat and cried
I held you in my arms when you died.
Although you were in so much pain
Not once did you ever ever complain.
You used to be so fit and strong
Why did it all have to go so wrong.
I watched as you gently faded away
I will never forget that terrible day.
You looked in my eyes and you shed a tear
as you whispered gently Goodnight My Dear.
I wish that we hadn't had to part
But forever I hold you close to my heart.

One wish
If i could have one wish from God
The wish i would want would be..
To hold you in my arms again..
And bring you home with me
If i could have one wish from God
The wish i would want would be..
To see your smiling face once more
And love you so tenderly
If i could have one wish from God
I would not wish anymore
For the wish that i have chosen God is..
For you to open the gate to heaven dear God
And let my loved one walk through the door
So i thank you dear God for all that you do
And please dear God..
Make my wish come true

Night night precious Angel..
Now it's time for bed
Just you snuggle up..
And rest your beautiful head
Cuddle up with all the Angels..
As I say Goodnight..
Just you rest your Angel wings..
And have sweet dreams 'til morning light
I will blow you Night night kisses..
As they are so full of love
So catch my kisses and have sweet dreams..
Precious Angel up above

I am now in Heaven,
The gates have opened wide,
And now I have the privilege
Of walking by His side.
The angel choir is singing
And the music is so sweet;
I'll join them just as soon
As I have worshiped at His feet.
I am now in Heaven,
The blood washed throng is here;
I recognize a lot of them,
There's not a single tear.
There's joy beyond description
And reunions by the score;
There'll be no more separations,
For we'll be here evermore.
I am now in Heaven,
Please wipe away your tears;
I've fought the battle, run the race,
And I'm rid of all my fears.
There is no pain or sorrow here,
The heartaches now are past;
I've read and sung of Heaven,
And now I'm here at last!
I am now in Heaven,
And oh, this place is grand!
No one could have ever told me
Of all the beauty in this land.
Since I cannot describe it,
You'll have to come and see
That it was worth the many trials
To live here for all eternity!
ALL MY LOVE SWEET ANGEL, WITH LOTS OF (((HUGS))) AND KISSES. LOVE ALWAYS GLORIA ANTHONY'S MOM
My memories of my Father..
Are as clear as a bell
I remember my childhood with my Father..
'Oh so very well
My Father used to tell me..
I was the apple of his eye
And when my Father went to heaven..
For his Daughter not to cry
My Father used to say..
'Don't you cry a tear'..
'For I will not be gone forever'..
'I will always be near'
So when I'm feeling lonely..
I think of my Dad above
'Cos I know my Dad is with me..
And he's watching me with love

When the pain and grief are over
When it's my time to be by your side
I know you'll be waiting for me
And will greet me with arms open wide
Until then I'll go on living
Though the light in my life has gone
The road will be long and lonely
But I'll bear up and try to be strong
I pray that angels will guide me
Help me to get through this pain
Give me the strengh to go on
Till we two are together again

There's no water without rain..
There's no sunshine..
To melt our pain
So here is a fairy..
Sent from above
Sprinkled in gold..
And so full of love
Close your eyes..
And make a wish
Say a prayer..
And blow a kiss
Your Angel will catch your kiss..
And send one back with love
Especially sent down to you..
From heaven up above
Catch your kiss..
Hold it tight..
For your Angel loves you..
With all their might

PLEASE DON,T LOOK DOWN AT ME
WITH THOSE BIG SAD EYES,
I,M TRYING MY BEST TO DEAL
WITH THE GRIEF THAT I FEEL INSIDE,
YOU LEFT THIS WORLD SO SUDDENLY
AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY,
I DEAL WITH IT IN MY OWN WAY,
BUT ALL I CAN DO IS CRY,
PLEASE DON,T BE ANGRY WITH ME
BECAUSE WE DID,NT SAY GOODBYE,
I,LL ALWAYS GO ON LOVING YOU
UNTIL THE DAY I DIE.
