  • 1st January '2012' 2nd Angelversary.
    Ring out the old, cheer in the new, as I raise my glass all I think of is you.
    Another year passes, more memories to store.
    But none are as sweet as the ones before.
    As New Year begins, no one knows, just what it brings.
    Still...In my heart is for you, a longing.
    So ring out the old, cheer in the new.
    I will raise my glass and always love and miss you xx

    Jack's 50th Birthday.

    As I opened my eyes this morning.
    I looked to Heaven above.
    I whispered "Happy Birthday Jack", and sent you all my love.
    Put your arms around Jack Lord, don't leave him on his own.
    For today is my Jack's Birthday, his first away from home.
    All of our Angels on high, please make this a special day, shower Jack with all the love and give him a Big hug from me. xxxxx
    Your Birthdays were always such fun, you big excited kid, look out for your special message from me, it will be flying towards you real soon. Miss you soooo much, wish I could visit you in Heaven. xxxxx

    In loving memory of Jack Quinn.
    Angel days are like a rewind of the day we lost you, again.
    Like a tape that's in slow motion, reliving the shock and the pain.
    Of being told we'd never see you again, and can never again, hold you tight.
    Leaves no joy and light in our lives now, it's like living in eternal light.
    Wanting this day to be over, never have to see this date again.
    Until we see you in Heaven, when we'll no longer feel this pain.
    We try to believe you're happy, and that you've just gone further on.
    And we'll meet you again in heaven, when our earthly life is done.
    Missed, loved and remembered every day, your loving and heart broken wife Anne xxxxx

  • TO HONOUR YOU....
    I get up every day and take a breath and start another day, without you in it.
    TO HONOUR YOU....
    I laugh and love with those who knew your smile, and the way your eyes twinkled with michief and secret knowledge.
    TO HONOUR YOU....
    I take the time to appreciate everyone I love, I know now there is no guarantee of days or hours spent in their presence.
    TO HONOUR YOU....
    I listen to music you would have liked, and sing at the top of my lungs, with the windows rolled down.
    TO HONOUR YOU....
    I take chances, say what I feel, holding nothing back, making a fool of myself, dance every dance.
    You were my light, my heart, my gift of love, from the very highest source. So every day I vow to make a difference, share a smile, live, laugh and love. Now I live for us both. So all I do, I do TO HONOUR YOU.
    I will love and miss you forever and always Jack. xxxxx

  • I think of you so often, and I think of you with love.
    I think about, you watching me, from Heaven up above.
    I think of you so often, but sometimes, it's with tears.
    As I recall the loving times, we had throughout the years.
    I think of you so often, and long to see your face.
    Laughing eyes and sense of fun, no one can take your place.
    I think of you so often, it breaks my heart to know.
    That you are in another place, where I am not ready to go.
    I think of you so often, but know that one sweet day.
    We will be together again, and I will get to stay.
    I will love you forever and always Jack. xxxxx

    Our Wedding Anniversary brings to mind, the happiness and joy you brought to me.
    Sweet memories, the laughter and the tears, devoted love you gave abundantly.
    The place I want to be is close to you, there's ecstacy and peace in your embrace.
    I know that I could cope with what life brings, if I could wake to see your face.
    You're all I ever wanted and much more, I looked at you and life stood still.
    Our Marriage was the best thing in my life, I love you deeply, madly and always will.

  • The next time I meet you, will be at Heaven's door.
    You'll be there to meet me, and I will cry no more.
    I'll put my arms around you, and kiss your handsome face.
    And then this broken heart of mine, will fall back into place.

  • When I come to the end of the road,
    and the sun has set for me,
    I wish no rites in a gloom - filled room,
    Why cry for a soul set free?
    Miss me a little but not too long,
    and not with your head bowed low,
    remember the love that we once shared,
    miss me but let me go.
    For this is a journey we all must take,
    and each must go alone,
    It's all part of the Master's plan,
    a step on the road to home.
    When you are lonely and sick of heart,
    go to the friends we know,
    and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
    miss me - but let me go.
    X I will miss you every second of every day until we are reunited in heaven Honey X

  • As I look outside, I see the breeze caress the leaves from the trees, and carry them all around gently laid upon the ground.
    I see the birds so high above, their songs sing of our special love, and laid upon their soft sweet wing, your love to me they gently bring.
    And as they start their graceful decent, delivering a message that heaven sent, one thing I know and will hold so dear, when I see them fly I will feel you near.

  • Love is a miracle, sweet as can be, that will always remain a complete mystery. For though it is something that's centuries old, it cannot be purchased for silver, or gold.

    But instead must be given of ones own free will, and received with no promises it must fulfil, and once it's exchanged in this time honoured way, there's nothing that love cannot manage to say.

    No problems too great, and no problems too small, for love like a miracle conquers them all.And leaves in their place such a feeling of peace, that joy, just like love, cannot help but increase.

    Jack you will be in my heart for ever more, missed loved and remembered more with each passing day.

  • Hi honey, I sit here at precisely the time on 1st Jan when God took you in his arms, and relieved you from pain, oh how I wish I had his power, I would have saved you from the pain.God must have an important role for my spirited, brave and dignified husband to do, as due to his master plan, on earth we have been left in such sorrow. I've to keep my chin up keep busy, look upon memories etc, but when I climb into bed i'm only faced with heartache of starting the morning all over again without you. I found the draft you had written to me, and all I need to say is DITTO. As you know honey, I can do most DIY,you taught me well over the years, try as I might I cant find the manual to mend my broken heart.I miss everything about you. If only God in his wisdom had given us the power to turn back time, or I had dragged you to Doc's instead of nagging you to go, the events are endless when I go down that road in my head. You left me in awe of your bravery, I know you tried to protect me from the inevitable, and your positivity and spirit of fight throughout was remarkable,and thats soul destroying to know you wanted so much to live and that you had no choice, as you will now be aware I had been told the prognosis, I know you will have forgiven me for not saying. I had to protect you too. Each day I will remember you, love you, respect you and long for you. I know one day we will be reunited in heaven, until then stay close, I feel you close although I know one day there will be a definite sign from you to let me know you are by my side.I know you will be taken care of, I picture you on the fluffiest cloud at bed time, comfy how you like to be, and let the angels do all they can for you, it's time my handsome husband enjoyed a good long rest.Thank you for being my husband, best friend, provider, soulmate, for keeping me safe, and overall for having the privilege and pride to say I am Jack Quinn's wife.Rest in peace honey. X love you all the muches X

  • IF ONLY YOU COULD SEE.I know you're feeling sad today, because I had to go.I know you have so many things, that remind you of me so.
    And though you cry as you recall, the times you spent with me.I know your pain would turn to joy, if only you could see.
    I'm in heaven with Jesus now, we laugh, we sing, we play.He holds me gently in his arms, I know no pain today.
    And though we're apart for a little while, Jesus has promised me, he'll someday bring you here, where we'll live for eternity.
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxI will miss and love you always, and cherish our memories.

  • I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS.
    As you hold me close in memory, even though we are apart, my spirit will live on, there within your heart...
    I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS.
    When you lean on trusted friends and their caring hugs enfold you, within their loving arms, I'll be there to hold you...
    I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS.
    And beyond the far horizon when we'll finally be together, where love will be eternal, and life will last for ever...
    I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS. XXXX

  • A LOVING PEACE FROM YOU.
    From the glowing embers of your spirit, came a little warmth of your love, together we set it in a cosy little spot. Safe from the world up above.
    Then a soothing breath from your lungs helped to ignite the flame on that lonely candle in the core of my soul.
    As time passes day by day, and conflicts cause great winds to blow, I know you'll cup your hands around it, and it will always flicker with a brilliant glow.
    They say that nothing is for ever, but I dont believe thats true, that little candle in my heart is a loving peace from you.
    ETERNALLY YOURS XX

    THERE ARE ANGELS IN THE HEAVENS

    THERE ARE ANGELS ON THE GROUND

    THERE ARE ANGELS ALL AROUND YOU

    JUST WAITING TO BE FOUND

    SO WHEN YOU ARE FEELING LONELY

    OR JUST A LITTLE BLUE

    OPEN YOUR EYES TO SEE THE ANGELS

    THEY ARE THERE, WAITING FOR YOU

    Thinking of you today Anne and hope you are managing to stay positive. This is a sad time of year for all of us because this is when all the Birthdays and Angelversaries seem to fall. We can only hope and pray that our loved ones are safe and happy up in their new home in Heaven and that they are all enjoying themselves. Your lovely Angel Mum will be looking down on you. Take care, love Esther xxx
