Frank Doe - Died on 21 May 1984, aged 73. Born on 06 June 1910 in Brentford, Middlesex.
I was only 4 years old when my Grandad passed away, but my dad is a wonderful man and he worshipped
his dad, that is how I know what a great man my Grandad was. Sadly taken from us in hospital -
diagnosed only 2 weeks before he died with lung cancer. He had seen his doctors with pain and ill
health for around 15 years but was initially told he was malingering (!) and then tragically wrongly
diagnosed with arthritis. I wish I could have known him better.
So proud of him for his bravery during World War 2 - his story is on the BBC WW2 People's War
website which my dad did an amazing job of putting together in his memory. Links to his story in the
8th Army with the Desert Rats can be found here

A message from your angel x x
I seen a thousand shining stars in the heavens up above
It was such a beautiful site
Each one appered to come and go flashing in the darkness
Each one with a amazing glow
It didnt take me long to understand the reason why
Each and every one was a message
For their loved one's here on earth if you listened quietly
You could hear them say
We are safe and happy we love and miss you all.
Thinking of all my dear friends always Dawn x x

Although you are a friend of mine
and Candles we exchange,
I wouldn't know you on the street,
and doesn't that seem strange?
You hold a place within my life,
unusual and unique;
We share ideals and special dreams,
and still, we do not speak.
I picture what I think you are,
perhaps you picture me.
An intriguing game for both of us
for someone we can't see.
So for this friendship we possess,
we owe this mail a debt,
Perhaps the charm lies in the fact
that we have never met.

I am still here
Friend, please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
And within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
As long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colourful leaves when Autumn's around
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
You can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm every place!
Thinking of you and your angel
You are always in my heart
Dawn x x x
Friendship Rose
☆ ¸.•*(¸.•*´ ☆ `*•.¸)`*•.¸☆
Just like a rose,
so precious and rare,
is the forever friendship
the two of us share.
Planted with kindness,
it's warmed by the sun
of caring and sharing,
laughter and fun.
It's grounded in trust
and nurtured by love,
with a sprinkling of grace
from God up above.
Tears of sadness and joy,
like dew,
renew this friendship
I share with you.
And in the heart's garden,
we find the room
to be ourselves,
to grow and bloom.
A blessing of beauty unsurpassed,
our friendship's a flower
that will always last.

Memories of Francis x
Keep my memory alive
and know that I am still with you
When you really need me there
I will show you I'm there.
Like when you feel a gentle breeze
and there's no wind blowing
or at night while looking at the sky
there's one star really glowing.
I am telling you that I am there
and will be as long as you need me
seeing you throught the times when
the pain seems to be the hardest.
When you feel someone watching
and you are there all alone
you hear someone call your name
or that one special song.
It's just my way of telling you
that I am here with you my love
walking along beside you
and watching from above.
So keep my memory alive
and know I am still here with you
So no more tears need you cry
for my dear, I never really left you.
Create an ever lasting memorial for your loved ones.
