Aren't these things difficult to write?!?

I guess that from the outside, Graham looked like a pretty average bloke.

For those of us that had the privelege of knowing him, it was clear he was anything but average!

Most of his life was spent working hard and playing harder. A bit of a "jack of all trades", he sold Insurance... he ran a Spar shop... he ran a pub... he was a JP... I don't think there was much he didn't have a try at!!!

His great love was sailing - as a Powerboat instructor he spent time working in the Ascencion Islands, and spent many years sailing his own boats. There was only ever one place to find him on a Saturday afternoon - cleaning, polishing, sailing, or enjoying a drink with friends on a boat.

Married to Kay, they had 2 children - Simon and Julia - and it must have been a proud day when they both went into the army.

Later in life, he settled down with Denise and became a father figure to Jason and Tanya.

He was a proud Grandad too - six times in total - Daniel, Thomas, Jake, Kimberly & James would be able to tell plenty of stories about him. Kyran, the youngest, was only 3 weeks old when Graham left us.

So, yeah, I guess the point is that he was a top bloke. He'd do anything for anyone if he thought you were worth it. And we all miss him lots.

Well liked by many people, and respected by many more.

4 Years have passed

I do not need a special day to bring you to my mind.
The days I do not think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when I awake I know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache as I try to carry on.
My heart still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
My thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill.
In life I loved you dearly; in death I love you still.

My Love Now & Always

For all from the heart

It's lomesome here without you all
we miss you more each day.
Life does't seem the same
since you have gone away.
When days are sad and lonely
and everything goes wrong,
we seem to hear you all whisper
"Cheer up and carry on".
Each time we see your pictures
you all seem to smile and say,
"Dont cry, we are in God's hands
we'll meet again someday.

Love and miss you all so very much always, and know you helping all you can.x

Thisis from my Heart with Love

This is for every hour we spent together:
For every kiss, each Embrace.
This is for every time that you
were there when I needed you,
For all the times that you understood me,
and for all the support that you gave to me.

For all the beautiful memories of the love we have made and given to each other,
Of all the tenderness & love that you have shown me.
Of all the little things that you have done for me
that in time have added up to be so great.
Most of all this is for you from me, to show you just how special I believe you really are.

This is from my heart to thank you for everything you have done for me,
To let you know exactly how I feel about you, and for all the times I forgot to tell you these things.
It has been 3 years since I lost you and I miss you so very much.
This is to tell you that I will always love you.

My love to You Now & Always Nessie xxxxxxx
