Tributes
  1. Trying to think of what to write is hard, I never had to experience losing someone so close to me.

    You have been the best pop anyone could ask for, you always shared your love around the family.

    I am going to miss seeing and hearing your voice every Thursday night.

    I am so glad that I come and saw you while you was at home.

    Since you passed I’ve had days where I was strong than other days I would randomly burst into tears.

    As of writing this I am balling my eyes out as it’s really started to hit me that your no longer hear.

    Gone but never forgotten and we will meet again

    I love you and miss you dearly xoxox

  3. Pop, I don’t know how I even begin to say goodbye to you.
    You were the strongest fighter we all knew, the happiest soul ever no matter what happened. Your smile lit up the room and you always told the best stories. You were an inspiration to us all!
    I try not to always bawl because I know you would want me to go on and I have to be strong too. It hasn’t been easy. I vow to make you proud everyday. I will tell the stories now. I got so much from you. As did all the kids, grandkids and great grandkids.
    I know you watch over us every single day and walk beside each one of us cheering us on. I love you so much and I will forever miss you.
    Whether together or apart you are always in our hearts. This isn’t goodbye, it’s until we can meet again. Goodbye for now.

  5. Dad my heart is broken I will forever miss you
    No words can describe the pain of losing you
    I will cherish the memories I have and keep them forever in my heart.

    I heard your voice in the wind today
    and I turned to see your face;
    The warmth of the wind caressed me
    as I stood silently in place.
    I felt your touch in the sun today
    as its warmth filled the sky:
    I closed my eyes for your embrace
    and my spirit soared high.
    I saw your eyes in the window pane
    as I watched the falling rain;
    It seemed as each raindrop fell
    it quietly said your name.
    I held you close in my heart today
    it made me feel complete;
    You may have died….but you are not gone
    you will always be a part of me.
    As long as the sun shines…
    the wind blows…
    the rain falls…
    You will live on inside of me forever
    For that is all my heart knows

  12. My dear poppy, I cannot believe you are gone, it feels so surreal, I wanted to believe that we could all have way longer then what we had. I love you so much, I felt like we had so many things that we both related too. I want to write an original poem to you… here it is:
    Forever in my heart
    You’ve always been dear
    I feel your presences
    I know that your near.
    Although it’s not the same
    Being close to you
    In the spiritual plane
    It will just not do.
    At first I had tears
    Rolling down my face
    But life just came at me
    Like we were in a race.
    Don’t worry about us
    We will all be fine
    As I know we will meet again
    When our destinies intertwine.
    I want to say don’t leave
    But you already did
    Now my emotions are in a bottle
    Close of being ready to pop the lid.
    My dearly pop
    Your in pain no more
    My heart isn’t broken
    It’s incredibly sore.
    I know it can heal again
    As the time goes by
    But for now I will be happy
    Or I will atleast try.
    My dear nanna
    I do feel for you
    I will try to be there
    For you as you are there for me too.
    I love you.
