TO MEMORY TIMELINE
See you on the other side, Der. Miss you till then. So glad to have had a friend like you. They definitely broke the mold. Hope they've got Clarks pies there. xxx
Uncle Derek, I will always be able to spot a terrible job because of your immense craftsmanship. Your legacy is in your amazing family and all that you built together. Rest up now. Just Jo xxx
I haven't got a favourite memory of my dad as all of the memories I have of him are my favourite. He was one of a kind and I am proud to of had him as my Dad. I will whistle, tap my foot, spit out my finger nails and bite my tongue when I am angry just like he did. You were the best Dad ever and I will think of you everyday, I love you. I don't want to say Goodbye Dad, so I will say Goodnight God bless Love always Terri xxxx

RIP my dear brother you were the best so many happy memories of our growing up I am truly gutted God bless
Dad, I'm lost for words..can't believe you are actually gone. I want to call you and ask for advice..'When will the hurt stop Dad?' I know you've only just left us, but we aren't ready..you were taken too soon. I miss you more than words can say..always will. Until we meet again Dad, breathe easy and keep smiling. We love you, that will never die ♥️ ❤️

Grampy, I wish I could say goodbye one more time. Give you one more hug and thank you for being all that you are. For teaching us about family, to provide and to care for the ones you love. I will forever be proud to call you my granddad. Til we meet again, even though I can still feel you here with me each day. I love you xx

A pencil tucked behind his ear, A whistle soft that we’d all hear. With quiet hands and steady grace, He built a life, he made this place. A gentle soul, with work-worn hands, Who shaped with care, who loved, who planned. He fought so hard, through toughest days, Still kind and calm in all his ways. Now though he's gone, his love stays near, In every heart that holds him dear. Rest well, dear Grampy, job well done, Your legacy lives on in everyone.

This is the second dad I have to say farewell to and it’s hurts as much as the first. Have been trying to think of something worthy to say but no words are worthy enough. You’ve been my dad for 29 years and I’ve always looked up to you as my dad. You’ve taught me many things including how to watch my tongue , less is more right! You were the only one who has ever paid an interest in me and would ask what I’ve been doing and where have I been working and what have I been making. Our weekend get togethers will never be the same and I will miss you until the day I join you. Thanks for all you have done for Terri, the kids and me xxx
Der, A great friend and family man who I spent a lot of time with. I will always remember the laughs we shared..even at my expense. An absolute honour to have known you and a massive privilege to have been able to call you my friend. see you on the other side my friend
To my beloved brother Derek one in a milllion he was great inspiration to nephew Mark sadly gone but never forgotten RIP love Pamela ❤️🕊️
Dad I love you and I am so grateful for everything that you’ve done for me. I miss you so much already, and it hurts knowing you’re not here. All my love always and forever Nikki xx

Dear Grampy, I love you more than I ever got to say - I hope you knew that deep down. I hope you’re listening from above and smiling at the speech I wrote for you. There won’t be many days when you’re not on my mind. Forever in my thoughts, forever my role model. Until we meet again xx
