I cannot bring the old days back,
when we where all together,
but memories of you dear bobby
will remain with me forever
a life so true,a heart so kind,
these are the memories you left behind
deep in my heart your memory is kept
i loved you too dearly to ever forget
in my heart you will always stay,
loved and remembered every day.
there is much in life that alters
much in life thats new
but one thing that never alters
are the memories i have of you
i cannot halt the hands of time
or live again the past
but deep in my heart are memories
that will forever last
as each day dawns and starts a new
and as it closes i think of you
in the house no matter where
deep in my heart you are always there
The pearly gates were opened
a gentle voice said "come"
and with farewells unspoken
you gentle slipped away
some day i hope to meet you
some day i know not when
to hold your hand in the better land
and to never part again
take him in your arms dear lord
hold him close with love
tell him how i miss him lord
until i meet you dear bobby
my one and only true love

i'm thinking of you today Daddy,
But that is nothing new
For i thought about you yesterday
and the day before that too
I'll be thinking about you tomorrow
As i will my whole life through
For the day i fail to think of you
Will be the day God calls me too
The next time we meet again daddy
Will be at heaven's door
And when i see you standing there
I'won't cry any more
I'll put my arms around you and
kiss your smiling face
And the piece of my broken heart
Will all fall in to place

They say there is a reason'
They say that time will heal,
But niether time nor reason,
Will change the way we feel,
For no-one knows the heartache
That lies behind our smiles

We have broken down and cryed
Loving you is easy i do it every day
But its the heartache of losing you
That never goes away
I want to tell you something
So there won't be any dought
Your so wonderful to think of
BUT SO VERY HARD TO LIVE WITH OUT

you where called so suddently
no time to say goodbye
you had so much to live for
and yet you had to die
quickly and suddenly came the call
your suddent death surprised us all
dearest to memory than words can tell
the loss of a father i loved so well
i did not know the pain you bore
i watched as you died
i only knew you passed away
and never said goodbye
to think i could not say goodbye,
will always bring regret
BUT THE HEART THAT ALWAY 'S LOVED YOU DADDY
WILL NEVER EVER FORGET YOU .

xxsimply the bestxxx
as i was on my way to heaven
i turned and looked behind
i could see the pain and sorrow
and my loved ones state of mind
i could see them mouned my passing
as i watch them began to pray
they dropped down on there knees
this is what i hear them say
i know you ,re in heaven
because i saw jesus waiting there
i know he,ll take good care of you
and give you tender loving care
someday soon we meet again
in the mansion in the sky
there we be together forever
and never again shall we say goodbye
goodnigth god bless daddy
There is a place in every heart,
They call it memory lane,
Where thoughts of loved ones last
forever, WILL REMAIN.
God made this special place
When he first created man.
for he knew it would be neede
As part of our lifes plan.
He knew when loved ones left us,
we,d need some time to heal
To come to term with sorrow
And the loneliness we,d feel.
So when you lose a loved one
And your life is filled with pain
the comfort of their presenae
will be foud up memory lane.
R.I.P Bobby gone but never forgotten,
love Noeleen and family.

dad so many images come to mind
whenever i speak your name
it seem;s without you in my life
things have never been the same
what happened tothose lazy days
when i was just a child
when my life was consumedin you
in your love,and in your smile
what happened to all those times
when i always looked to you
no matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue
dad some days i hear your voice
and turn to see your face
yet in my turning it seems
the sound has been erased
dad who will i turn to for answers
when life does not make sense
who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don;t fit
oh dad if i could turn back time
and one more hear your voice
i;d tell you that out of all the dads
you still be my choice
please always know i love you
and no one can take your place
years may come and go
but your memory will never erased
today ,jesus,as you are listening
in your home above
would you go and find my dadand give him all my love
your loving daugther mary stewart and family
a loving father
i said a pray for
YOU TODAY
I said a pray for you to day
and know God must of heard,
I felt the answer in my heart
although he spoke no words!
I didn't ask for wealth or fame
[i knew he wouldn't mind]
I asked him to send treasures
of a far more lasting kind
I asked if he'd be near you
at the start of each new day
to grant you wealth and blessing
and a friend to share your way
I asked for happiness for you
in all things great and small
But it was for his loving care
i prayed most of all
i pray to you ever day daddy
and ever day i ask you to mind my children
and these day i need you more than ever love you always
XXXGRANDAD SIMPLY THE BESTXXX
IF tears could build a stairway
and memories were alane
i walk rigth up heaven
to bring you back again
no farewell words were spoken
notime to say goodbye
you were gone before i know it
and only god knew why
my heart still acheswith sadness
and sercet tears still flow
what it meant to lose you
no one will ever know
you and angles around god throne
i would have held you closer
if i had only know
good nigth god bless grandad
Aloving uncle
13yrs ago you closed your eyes
and slipped away
i wasn,t there to say goodbye
but your memory i.ll treasure
the rest of my life,
today tomorrow my whole life through
i.ll always remember you.
R.I.P
a letter from heaven
a letter from heaven
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
