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

Every flower that opens
Every bird that sings
Every ray of sunshine
Every snow flake from the sky

All the worlds beauty
Is you just calling to say
I am here with you
Every single day.

Wishing You Near
by Nick Alcantara
To realize
That time is so dear
When you are no
Longer here
I cling to memories,
Sweet memories
That bring you near
If only
I could touch you again
Without bringing back the pain
Feeling your presence
That you are not really
Very far away
That would bring us back
The aura and magic
Of being again
Together
I know you are
Just a whisper away

Always watching over us as we go our way,
Never taking their eyes from us a minute of the day,
Guardians who are here to keep us from all harm
Each time we face danger, darkness, or alarm,
Looking out for us through each trial we face,
Sent straight from heaven, by His mercy, love, and grace.
❤

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Our Reunion in Heaven Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
We weren't prepared that day,
When God called you away.
So many tears we cried,
Longing to keep you at our side.
How we loved and missed you so,
And weren't ready to let you go,
But it gives us comfort to know,
Within the twinkling of our eyes,
You entered into paradise.
A place with beauty beyond measure,
Eternal happiness and treasure,
Where you have no more pain or tears,
Nor sorrow, worries, and fears.
Although, for now, we are apart,
Your precious memories live in our heart,
Until God calls us each to heaven's door,
Where we'll be reunited, forever more

I would like to thank everyone for all the candles, tributes & pictures that are left on Christopher's website they are all very much appreciated.
Tributes For Week Starting 23rd November
FOR MONDAY
The best and most beautiful
Things in the world cannot
Be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.
FOR TUESDAY
Gone yet not forgotten,
Although we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me,
Forever in my heart.
FOR WEDNESDAY
A gift for such a little while,
Your loss just seems so wrong,
You should not have left before us,
It’s with loved ones you belong.
FOR THURSDAY
Perhaps they are not
Stars in the sky,
But rather openings
Where our loved ones shine down
To let us know they are happy.
FOR FRIDAY
The Watcher
They always leaned to watch for us
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.
And though we mocked them tenderly
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because they waited there.
Their thoughts were all so full of us,
They never could forget,
And so I think that where they are
They must be watching yet.
Waiting ‘til we come home to them
Anxious if we are late
Watching from Heaven’s window
Leaning from Heaven’s gate.
FOR SATURDAY
As We Look Back
As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering .....
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us .....
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.
FOR SUNDAY
To Those Whom I Love and Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that I have had so many years
I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I think you for the love each have shown
But now it is time I traveled on alone
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless the memoriss in your heart
I will not be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you can not see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All of my love around you soft and clear
Then, when you must come this way alone
I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home"

♦♥♦ Cherished Memories ♦♥♦
•:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥ •:*:••:*:• ♥
Sometimes it's hard to understand
To see the reason why,
Sometimes it's hard to find the words
To say that last goodbye.
Sometimes it's hard to look ahead
With eyes still filled with tears,
But all our cherished memories
Will live on through the years.
And though there are no answers
The questions still remain,
Sometimes we just can't comprehend
Or understand the pain.
Sometimes it's hard to look beyond
The rainclouds in the sky,
Though all our cherished memories
Will stay as time goes by.
Sometimes when we close our eyes
The only thing we see,
Are moments that are long gone by
Of how things used to be.
Sometimes we need to just let go,
Let tears fall as they may,
Reliving cherished memories
That never fade away.

♥Love Lives On♥
(Amanda Bradley)
♥Those we love
are never really lost to us -
we feel them
in so many special ways-
through friends
they always cared about
and dreams they left behind,
in beauty that they added to our days...
in words of wisdom we still carry with us
and memories that never will be gone...
Those we love are never really lost to us -
For everywhere their special love lives on♥
LOVE AS
ALWAYS

Night falls,
but day dawns to replace it...
Grief comes,
but time will ease the pain...
Life ends,
but death cannot erase it...
In memory,
love always will remain.
There are those
whose lives
death cannot diminish.
Their love radiates
forever in the hearts
of friends
and loved ones,
and their light shines on
in the lives
they've touched
for so many years.

~♥~ Our Guardian Angels will speak to us
in many different ways ~♥~
~♥~ They'll whisper joy from a bird's song
or wind through a majestic pine ~♥~
~♥~ Or laugh amid the rolling clouds
in a joyous thunder clap ~♥~
~♥~ Or whisper love through a turtle dove
or from a puppy's joyous yap ~♥~
~♥~ So listen closely to every sound
that might come your way ~♥~
~♥~ It could be your angel saying,
"Have a Wonderful Day." ~♥~
