Memories

Christmas time

Bill Held. Son Dec 23, 2011

They say time heals many things
But not the sadness Christmas brings
The pain in my heart will always remain
Until the day we meet again

I love you Dad

Bill Held. Son Mar 21, 2011

I wish that I could see you Dad,
For just a little while,
I wish that I could hug you and
see your lovely smile,
But wishing gets me nowhere,
And longing is in vain.
So I will hold you in my heart.
Until we meet again.

2 Angels together again forever

Bill Held. Son Mar 08, 2011

Hi Dad,
Yesterday was a sad yet beautiful day for all the family. Sad, because we laid Mum to rest after her illness took her from us, and also we remembered you as it was exactly 2 years ago that you too were taken. But it was a beautiful day as the sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. We each had different memories that we recalled either to ourselves or to each other as we talked about you both after the funeral. We are all so proud to be part of such a loving, yet giving family and we have you and Mum to thank for that. Your love and devotion to your children, Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren will live with us all forever and I'm sure we all bring our families up in the same way as you.
Mum never got over losing you 2 years ago Dad, she often mentioned how she wanted to be with you, yet not wanting to leave all of us. I'm sure you were at the gates of Heaven to welcome her into your arms that have been empty for the last past 2 years. I can only begin to imagine the joy in both your faces as Mums eyes met yours once more, I'm sure her heart has now begun to mend.
Thinking of you both always. Speak to you soon Dad. Love you always. Bill xxx

Together again.

Bill Held. Son Feb 25, 2011

Bill, Jeanette, Rita, Alan,Sue and all the Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren.
