Wife Mary, Children, Helen, Jamie, Neil, Grandaughter,Grace, Grandson on the way.
A year has nearly passed without you and we are still missing you now as much as the terrible day you were taken from us.You have shown us many signs your soul lives on and this we are thankful for.
A beloved Husband, father, Grandfather, taken suddenly before his time aged 59 years. Married to Mary 31 years with three children, Helen, jamie and Neil and one new grand daughter, Grace. An amazing man, with a presence so strong it can never be replaced.A family man who loved it when all were together . He loved to travel, keep fit, and help others whenever he could.
Words cannot describe how much he was loved and how much he will be missed.Whenever you were around there was laughter and smiles, jokes and good times.On the 23rd July, we lost the head of our family, the calm organised planner.The voice of reason. Who will film all the good times now?
Your work here was done- there was nothing left for you to achieve and fulfill and that must be why you were taken from us.
Rest in peace, John, Dad, Grandad, Friend... and beloved 'Johnny Mac'. Life will not be the same without you. The world lost a special man, heaven gained an angel.
Until we meet again
Three years have passed since you left us John so unexpectedly. It was not fair that you had to leave us at that time so soon after your grandddaughter was born and you are not here to enjoy Jack either,. You had so much you wanted to do but God decided that it was your time. God bless you John. You are always here in my heart and you are looking after me I know that. Love you always. Your loving wife Mary xxx
Those special memories of you,
Will always bring a smile,
If only I could have you back.
Just for a little while.
Then we could sit and talk again.
Just like we used to do.
You always meant so very much,
And always will do too
.The fact that you are no longer here.
Will always cause me pain,
But you're forever in my heart,
Until we meet again.
Christmas 2010
This is my third Christmas without you John and I miss you so much tonight .Neil is so good to me and also Helen but nothing will replace you. But I must look foreward I know you would want me to . Help me to move on and find happiness.
Jack is so lovely He is walking now and into everything. How you would have loved him. Gracie is adorable. She reminds me so much of Helen at the same age. You would have been a wonderful granddad but you are minding them I know that and keeping them safe just as you are minding me.
Please bring Jamie back to the family soon. I do so miss him.
Happy Christmas my darling John.

In memory of my dear John on his second annniversary
Losing a husband,
As special as you,
Has left my heart aching
It's broken in two
No words can describe,
All the grief and the pain.
I'd give all I have,
Just to see you again.
But you're with the angels,
And for now I can wait,
For we'll meet again dear.
Near heaven's gate.
In memory of my beloved John who left us two years ago so suddenly. We will always miss you my beloved John. You will always have a special place in my heart. Rest in Peace. xxx
For Mary

Turn Back Time
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
Oh dear God im hurting
I dont know what to do
Ive got no sunshine in my life
Everyday im feeling blue
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
Ive got no strength inside me
Im feeling very weak
Some days when i am so sad
I just cant even speak
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
I sit alone in silence
I wonder all the time
If i had magic powers
I would turn back time
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥
Id turn back time
And stop the clock
To the happy days with you
For there would be more sunshine
And no more feeling blue
♥***♥***♥***♥***♥

LOVE AND HUGS FROM CRAIG XXXXXX
A year has passed!
Today it is exactly a year that my husband John died at only 59. He collapsed and died at work .It was so sudden that it left us reeling. He was an active man who hardly drank and never smoked and went to the gym regularly. He just died of a cardiac arrest seconds after he had been boasting about his new granddaughter born exactly the week before practically to the hour. What a great granddad he would have been but this was not to be. I don't know why. Life is so unfair sometimes. He was my soulmate and best friend. As my brother-inlaw said like two sides tof the same coin. He was a charismatic man who always had time for everyone he met. Family was extremely important to him. He loved his family with a passion. However he was deprived of spending time with his new grandchild . Only God knows why? Now there is another one on the way and he wil not be here for this one too.He would have made a marvellous grandad.
John was Scottish. He came from Glasgow. And even though he lived down here in Southern England he never forgot his roots. He was a staunch Celtic fan. His name is on the memorial wall there. Oh he would have been so proud. He is buried with his Celtic shirt. Oh he would have loved that. I have a special affinity to Scotland and the people because of him and I will never lose that.John I miss you and I always will. You are a tremendous loss to our family. You were too good for this world and I will never forget you. Give me the strength John to carry on without you.
Keep showing the white feathers. Then I know you are with me.
Love You John.
