Sweet dreams Papa ... I LOVE YOU!
Ken (my Dad) passed away peacefully on Tuesday 25th September 2007 aged 58 years, from lung cancer.
He enjoyed his job as a lorry driver (the stories he would tell us from his days on the open road), the allotment and Sunday mornings pampering his car were always high on the agenda, living in Rugby with his wife Judith, daughter Carol and son-in-law Lee and holidays in the sun.
2007 was supposed to be such a special year (Mums 50th and my 30th Birthday) and a big family holiday to celebrate in style, but no one felt like celebrating when we received the heartbreaking news, weeks of chemotherapy and 6 months later we were having to say our final goodbyes.
~~~
I would personally like to thank family and all my friends for attending the celebration of Dads life on Friday 5th October 2007. The support and kind words we received will never be forgotten.
A total of £720.00 has been raised in Dads memory for The Myton Hamlet Hospice, Warwick.
~~~
A very special man who is missed more and more each day.
I love you Dad ... you are always in my heart and thoughts.
Carol. (Or as you would call me, your sweetheart) xxx
P.S I promise I will be here for Mum, wherever, whenever, forever!!!

What can I say to the person that was such an important part of my world?
Thank you for taking me by the hand and showing me the way.
What can I say to the person who gave me so much love and laughter?
Thank you for making every day I spent with you so special.
What can I say about your loving smile?
Thank you for the joy your smile gave me and the memories it gives me.
What can I say to let you know that you’re the best there was?
Thank you for being the greatest Dad a daughter could ever wish for.
What would I say if I ever got the chance?
Thank you for all the unconditional love you gave me.
I love you Papa and miss you more than words can say.
~~~
A smile for all, a heart of gold,
The very best the world could hold,
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day.

Memories ...
Papa, just spent the last hour just me and your memory box. It's been a very long time since I last took a look, can you believe we received 65 sympathy cards, some of the kind words we received from people and the kindness and respect they showed for you is priceless. I wonton lie it was just as hard today looking through the box, the tachographs that you never got the chance to hand in, your wallet that held so many photos of me and Mum, seeing your writing in your work folder was the hardest. :( But my tears turned to laughter when I looked through your school calendar, there is one photo of you pulling a silly face and I laughed so loud looking at that (good job I was on my own) but it was just a typical of you, the you I remember, love and miss so much. It's still so hard Dad, so very hard. Sweet dreams. xXx
Goodnight Auntie Doreen ...
Said our final goodbyes to Auntie Dorren today Papa. Hope you'll both be having a nice catch up and some laughs along the way. Miss you so much, maybe 4 years ago that we lost you but it hurts still so much everyday. Love you. xxx
My gorgeous Papa. xxx
Dad, 4 years ago today was the most painful day of my life! Time isn't a healer, you just learn to cope with a huge part of your life missing! Every day you're in my thoughts, forever you will be in my heart. I miss you so so much Papa. I LOVE YOU! xXx
I miss you ... xxx
Today's not a good day for me Papa, it was 4 years ago today that I got the call at work & told to come home. That drive home seemed to take forever & when I pulled into our street & saw our doctor's car pulling out of the street I knew this wasn't a good sign. When I got in the house I was hit with the news that were being taken into a hospice, that was it for me, I had never felt so scared in my whole life, you'll remember that I just broke down crouched down by your legs whilst you were sat in your chair, I didn't know what to say or do, I was just numb & frightened of what this meant .... Can't say anymore at the moment Dad, maybe 4 years ago but it destroys me like it was only yesterday, it's been an emotional week following Sailsy's funeral & like every day today & tomorrow will be hard & painful. It doesn't matter how many times I say to people I miss you, you know just how much. I love you with all my heart, my Dad who always made me chuckle, who had that gorgeous smile, who would do anything for me ... I LOVE YOU!!!!!! XXX
Peter Kay is a legend! :o) X
Peter Kay Live last night at the NIA was Fantastic ... S Club 7 'reach for the stars' during the interval was not so fantastic!
I miss you so much Dad, I want to remember the so many good times we had, the laughs, just the simple little things, allotment, picking you up from the club on a Sunday afternoon, turning up just in time for my car to be washed, relying on your DIY skills! :o) ... I just can't get the sad days out my head, you being poorly and taken from us. :o(
I miss you Papa, I love you so much 'FOREVER!' xXx
CHRISTMAS JUST ISNT THE SAME WITHOUT YOU KENNETH,I MISS THE PEANUT FIGHTS AND OF COURSE I MISS YOU HAPPY CHRISTMAS MISS YOU LOADS LOVE LIZ XXX
Sally Morgan
Hi Papa ...
Mum has got Lee and I tickets to go and see Sally Morgan April 2011, now I know you weren't a believer in all this, but you had best be paying me a visit that night, you know how much I miss you, how I haven't coped with losing you and just a little message from you would mean the world to me.
I miss you so so much, I know it wont bring you back but it would bring me a little comfort to know you're still with us.
I love you. xxx
