I would like to say thank you to all GTS friends who have left candels/tributes.

My dad... well what can i say..... every daughter loves her Dad so much.... but i can honestly say that there was no better dad than mine....
he was honest, hardworking, and most of all loving to all...
he never said a bad word to anyone or over anyone..
he simply didnt have a bad bone in his body... he was always an angel.
He died 16 days prior to his Diamond wedding anniversay & his funeral was held 6 days before the anniversay.... hence Mums flowers had diamond pins and she had the anniversay cake she deserved.
and although i had requested a telegram from the Queen, a week before he died, she was sent a letter of condolance from the Palace, to which she now treasures.
he had been ill for some 3 years with 'Lewly Bodie' , heart problems, blood pressure and had suffered from cancer form some 11 years, but the last 2 years have been hard for both him and my Mum, as she was unable to care for him at home anymore and it broke her heart to have him admitted to a home.... luckly he was excepted after some 11 weeks in hospital to Ashlar House a small nursing home close enought for Mum to travel by 2 buses which she did 4 times a week, come rain or shine... they were devoted to each other xxxxx
when he was in hospital she went every day to give him his lunch, and i would go every night to give him his tea and tuck in him to bed, i loved those hours with him, as it wasnt long after my darling son Nicholas had passed and i needed my Dads cuddles. somehow even though he sometimes didnt know what day it was, or even that Nicholas had died, he seemed to sence i was grieving my son,..... his granson.
And i will miss my Dad forever, but am happy that he has the hand of my son Nicholas to guide him into heaven.
I love you Dad, you were SIMPLEY THE BEST....xxxxxxxxx
My true sincere thanks to all those who trully use this GTS site, tributes and candles and compassion.........
thank you all
Tina xxxxx
for my Dad xxxxx..... an old solider xxxx
We Shall Keep the Faith
by Moira Michael, November 1918
Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields,
Sleep sweet - to rise anew!
We caught the torch you threw
And holding high, we keep the Faith
With All who died.
We cherish, too, the poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led;
It seems to signal to the skies
Remembrance Day
We wear a poppy
On Remembrance Day,
And at eleven
We stand and pray.
Wreaths are put
Upon a grave.
As we remember
Our soldiers brave.
Little Poppy
Little poppy
Given to me,
Help me keep Canada
Safe and free.
I'll wear a little poppy,
As red as red can be,
To show that I remember
Those who fought for me.
Coming In On a Wing and a Prayer
Coming in on a wing and a prayer,
Look below there's our field over there.
Though there's one motor gone
We will still carry on,
Coming in on a wing and a prayer.
Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree
Don't sit under the apple tree
With anyone else but me,
With anyone else but me,
With anyone else but me,
No no no!
Don't sit under the apple tree
With anyone else but me,
TIll I come marching home.
The White Cliffs of Dover
There'll be bluebirds over
The White Cliffs of Dover,
Tomorrow just you wait and see.
There'll be love and laughter
And peace ever after,
Tomorrow when the world is free.
Are You Sleeping?
(to the tune of "Frere Jacques")
See the poppies
See the poppies
Oh so red
Oh so red
Growing on the hillside
Growing on the hillside
Soldiers lay dead
Soldiers lay dead
We remember
We remember
On this day
On this day
Soldiers on the hillside
Soldiers on the hillside
Far away
Far away
That blood of heroes never dies,
But lends a lustre to the red
Of the flower that blooms above the dead
In Flanders Fields.
And now the Torch and Poppy Red
We wear in honour of our dead.
Fear not that ye have died for naught;
We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought
In Flanders Fields
X My Angel X
My Angel
Just to hear your voice again
Just to feel the warmth when we embrace
To see the smile on your face
To see your eye Light up once more!
That is all i want
Now and Forevermore.
xxx Before i die xxx
I want your laugh again to light up the room
I want your hand to touch mine
Just like it used to
I want so many things
That i can still see so well in my mind
But the things i want all lead back to one thing...
You streching far and wide
Across my mind
Everything about you i miss so much
I would give everything i own for just another hour of your love
However this cannot be...
So i will take the long road
Waiting a while... Getting back on to the horse in style
Counting the time until again you are mine
When that time comes life will be Sublime

luv u Dad xxxxx
To those I love,
Since we parted, you have been sharing so much of ME with those around you. The memories are so fresh and real. You hold on to me so tightly in your hearts - where I shall always be.
Your concern has always been for me, but I wonder how you are doing. You will never know all of the prayers that have been prayed for you, the tears that have been shed over your grief and the concern that has been shown for you in a multitude of ways, but I find it so comforting to know you haven't been left alone.
Please know that I am not alone, either. The death that hurt you the most has given me the gift of eternal life. God's promises have been fulfilled in me. When I left you, God was there, waiting, just as He promised. I am surrounded by perfect love. Never let anyone tell you God doesn't exist. If you need to be mad at Him for awhile, that's okay; He can handle it. But never let hate, anger or bitterness fuel your emotions. Talk to Him and let him talk to you. Listen for Him in the voices of the people who love and care about you.
It is comforting to know that you hold me so close while struggling with the prospect of letting me go. You need to know that we will always be together. Eternity is not 'out there,' eternity is now! I have simply moved a little farther ahead of you.
Remember that God never wastes anything - especially love. The love that we shared on earth will be even greater in Heaven. For now, you must rest assured that I am safe in God's perfect love. I would like you to take some of the love you have for me and share it with those around you. You can never run out of love - the more you give away, the more you will have. And let others love you . you are worth loving.
Life is forever....mine has changed in the twinkling of an eye while yours is changing day-by-day and minute-by-minute. Though your lives will never be the same, that does not mean that they cannot be filled with peace, joy and love. Always look to the future. Don't be afraid of tomorrow - God's already there.... Be patient with yourselves. You will make some mistakes, and you will even find yourselves not thinking about 'me' from time to time. That's all right too.... All of my needs are being met; you need to take care of you. Hold onto one another, help each other, give hope and love to all you meet.
Above all, be prepared to welcome others into your world of grief and mourning. You are being taught valuable lessons that will need to be passed along. Some will not have your strength, many will not have your faith, and most will feel they are all alone; but all will need the love and understanding only you will be able to give. Now, your pain is the only credential you need to minister to others. When you think of me, never think of me as being alone. Think of me as smiling, laughing and enjoying all that God has prepared for me.
Finally, never believe you are alone. Do not focus on what you have lost, but look always at what you have left. You are surrounded by people who love you and care about you. Live with them, love with them, share with them and laugh with them. Make every day a celebration of life - a life that will never end. We will meet again, and until we do, know that I am very proud of you for never giving up.
Remember I love you!

THEY TOOK THE BEST..
.......
**********************************************************************
TEARS OF SADNESS FILLS MY EYES
AS I GAZE TOWARDS THE MIDNIGHT SKIES
I WONDER WHAT MY ANGEL IS DOING RIGHT NOW
IN HOPE THAT IT WILL EASE MY PAIN SOMEHOW
**********************************************************************
TO SHOW ME SOME KIND OF SIGN FROM HEAVEN ABOVE
THEN SEND IT DOWN TO ME WITH ALL THIER LOVE
MAYBE A WHITE FEATHER JUST FOR ME
OR A BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW SO THAT ALL CAN SEE
**********************************************************************
YOU COULD BE A STAR SHINING BRIGHTER THAN THE REST
WHEN YOU WENT TO HEAVEN I KNOW THAT THEY TOOK THE BEST
THE BEST THING IN LIFE THAT WAS MINE TO LOVE
WENT AWAY FAR TO SOON TO BE WTH EVERY ANGEL ABOVE......

xxxxxx Lots of love Rose and family xxxxxx
The power of family is beautifully depicted in this poem.
Family is heaven sent from our father above,
bonded by the power of love.
No matter what family has each others back,
when push comes to shove.
Family is,
understanding, never demanding,
all for one and one for all,
I will never leave you alone standing.
Family is,
one in itself, my love is your love,
your pain is my pain, my wealth is your wealth,
I promise to never leave you by yourself.
Family is,
the strongest team, the strongest unit;
if love could be visualized,
family would be the blue print.
Family is,
forgiveness and patience,
it's sweeter than the sweetest fragrance,
the power of family is a reflection of Gods compassion and magnificence.
Family is,
never turning our back, and never shames,
lend my helping hand and not a finger pointing the blame.
No matter what a family bond can never be broken,
even through a nuclear explosion,
if one of us lives we all live.
Forever to eternity, we are family,
my father, my mother, my sisters and me.
Antony-Tyrone Smith

Over the rainbow, beyond the stars
In that beautiful garden above
Surrounded by loved ones, who went on before
Now at peace in God's perfect love
I know you'll be waiting, till my work is done
For there's more here on earth I must do
There's comfort in knowing when God calls my name
I'll cross over the rainbow .. to you
Unknown.
