My dad was an amazing person, he was loved by so many people he only had to touch someone's life
once to be remembered. He always lit up the room whenever he walked in with his cheeky grin. He was
an amazing dad and extremely loving, he never had a bad word to say about anybody and nobody had a
bad word to say about him. Not only was he my dad but he was also my best friend, since he passed
away the sky has been alot brighter because there's a new star shining so brightly watching down
over his loved ones. Heaven has now gained a new angel. He did plenty of mental things such as
jumping off a mountain, riding The Stealth at Thorpe Park, bunjee jumping, white river rafting,
snorkling and the list goes on. He always lived life to the max no matter how badly people made him
feel. He was such a big movie fan omg there probably isn't a film in the world that he hasn't
watched, well...maybe Scarface. He was never afraid of being in the lime light, he loved to get up
on the karaoke and sing his heart away whether it was "Mustang Sally" or "UB40". He had such a big
collection of DVD's he knew the name's of the actor's and what other films they had been in. He was
a really big fan of England and Arsenal, he has pretty much got a wardrobe full of England shirts.
I'm just happy that he's gone to a better place where he isn't in pain anymore and he can be a free
spirit. One thing i will never forget is that my dad used to tickle me under my chin digging his
fist into me. We had such a strong bond that can never be broken by anybody. He was the best dad in
the world and no one will ever take his place in my heart.
THE FUNERAL
The funeral took place on Thursday 21st February 2008 at Oaston Road Cemetry and it was a hard thing
for everyone to do, there was so many people there. We had people arriving at the house and i think
there must have been about 50 or more. When the cars arrived to pick us up everyone fell silent and
most of us broke down into tears. There were flowers around dad's coffin most of them in white and
red, the colours of the England flag, and there were flowers in our front lawn which were placed
ontop of the car before we left. When we arrived at cemetry, my cousin's husband began playing the
bagpipes as we drove up to the plot. As we got closer, we realised there were between 40 to 80
people already there waiting for us. People had traveled from London for my Dad's send off, i don't
think people realised just how popular my Dad was. We had relatives and friends carrying his coffin
and over it we draped an England flag. Everybody who showed up to the funeral wore England shirts
and jeans because my Dad wasn't really a big fan of black. When the service began the Vicar said a
few things about my Dad and then my Auntie read out my speech for me because i couldn't bring myself
to do it, the song we had was Westlife's "You Raise Me Up". Before we left, a few of us threw roses
in on the coffin and a few people threw in some soil. At the end we were taken to the wake where
there were pictures of dad pasted around the room. We had a DVD made up of pictures and had music
added to it which touched the hearts of a few people. We all had balloons to write a message on for
Dad and released them in the pub garden. As we were doing this, two dove's flew over out of nowhere
and sat on the edge of the fence. People were wondering whether they had been released but no one
had done it. After we realeased all of the balloons they flew away, and about half an hour after
they had returned and sat back on the fence. A few people had one to many to drink and couldn't
handle it unfortuantely, luckily they were thrown out. That day showed just how many people loved
and respected my Dad, he was such a popular man who touched the hearts of so many people. I can't
begin to explain how proud i am to be his daughter.
Mine & Dad's Song
I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans, don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter, in all that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care girl
Look at the stars now, so far away
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay
Deep in my soul, I feel so lonely
All of my hopes, faiding away
I've longed for love, oh like everyone else does
I know i'll keep searching, after today
So here it is girl
We've got it all now
And here we are babe
What do ya say
We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow
We've got tonight babe
Why don't you stay
I know it's late and i know you're weary
I know you're plans don't include me
Still here we are
Both of us lonely
Both of us lonely
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light
Come take my hand now
We've got tonight babe
Why don't we stay
We've got tonight babe
Why don't we stay
Love you xxx

I love you so much Dad and i always will no matter what xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi dad, I had a dream about you the other night all I can remember is that i heard your voice in the living room and u was laughing at something and when I walked in you were lying on the floor laughing and I started crying when I saw you and you spoke to me and just as I was about to hug you and say something to you my frickin alarm went off! I was not impressed. Everytime i dream about you just as i'm about to speak to you my alarm always goes off.. maybe one day i'll actually be able to speak to you. I miss you so much I sat in the living room last weekend watching the tv and when I looked at your picture I felt really funny.. it was like you was there with me and then it hit me that you weren't there.. i'd never felt it before it was a really strong feeling.. I just wish it was for real. I love you so much more than anything in the world.. I always will xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nearly finished college now, passed all my exams and only got one more assessment left to do now.. all i have to wait for then is my qualification. Looks like you've got a new friend up there now, who would of thought it would be michael jackson though.. you lucky git, tell him i said hi lol.

Hi Dad, I did the Race For Life today in honor of you.. auntie tracey bought me a top with your picture on which I wore to run in. Weren't as bad as i thought it would be, I made it to the finish line and I was no where near coming last lol. We wore bright pink afro wigs and when we got to the finish we took them off and my hair was dripping wet from the rain.. the best bit was I went to McDonald's after lol, I think it was very well deserved though. I'm thinking about doing it next year aswell and getting more people to do it with me.. all I need to do now is collect my sponsor money. I could get used to this running, i've lost nearly half a stone lol. I'm loving driving getting used to it more and more everytime I go out, I just wish you could be here with me to see me do all this. I finish college in 3 weeks hopefully i'll have all my assessments done in time, i'm still passing all my exams and i've only got 6 assessments left so finger's crossed. I love you so much Dad more than in anything in the world, I miss you so much xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

WooHoo!!.. I finally did it Dad, I PASSED!! I'm so hapy i can't stop smiling, i just wish you were here with me so that i could share it with you and tell you in person.. i guess it just made it easier for me knowing that you were watching over me, it gave me that extra bit of encouragement. I miss you so much, now i can come and see you more often on my own when ever i want to. I miss you so much, you should've been here with me on this day.. All my love forever & eternity xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi Dad, Nic came round last night and gave us your message. I feel so much better knowing that your ok and that you are back to your normal self, I love knowing that you are still here with me watching over me just like you used to, at least I know now that no matter where I go you are always there. When Nic told me I went to bed and everytime I opened my eyes I was hoping that I was gonna be able to see you.. hopefully one day I will and be able to hear your voice.. I miss seeing you and hearing you everyday. I was gonna give up driving if i failed my test again but because I know your here watching there's no way i'm gonna give up now, i'm even more determined than ever, i promised i would make you proud and that's what i'm gonna do. All i want is to see or hear you, I can't have you back here with me so that's the next best thing, or even just a sign, maybe i'm asking for too much. I couldn't stop crying last night.. it's so unfair, you shouldn't have been taken so early, you should still be here with me.. who have you got to spend your money for you now lol, I miss you telling me to piss off when i asked you for money lol. I miss the way we used to say how much we love each other, there's so many things I miss, things we can never do together again. You were my rock Dad, we were like two peas in a pod, the terrible twosome, now it's just little old me. I no I have nan and everyone around me but it's just not the same as a father's love for his daughter. I will do everything I can to make you proud of me Dad.. hopefully one day you will come to me so I can see you, even if it's just one last time, i would be the happiest girl alive. I love you so much Dad.. all the way up to mars and back, more than all the stars in the sky xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
