Died of ischemic heart disease and died far too soon .
also founder of Anderson Tae Kwon Do. I miss him so much. my Dad my Hero always.
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes
from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two
sets of footprints, other times there was one only.
This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one
set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me
always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed
you most, have you not been there for me?"
The Lord replied, "The years when you have seen only one set of footprints,
my child, is when I carried you."
As you release this butterfly in honour of me,
Know that I'm with you and will always be.
Hold a hand, say a prayer, close your eyes and see me There.
Although you may feel a bit torn apart,
Please know that I'll be forever in your heart.
Now fly away butterfly as high as you can go,
I'm right there with you more than you know.

THANKYOU FOR EVERY THING YOU DO YOU ARE A TRUE FRIEND LOVE SANDRA & MICHAELA & OUR ANGELS PETER, DAVID & VIOLET XXXXX
Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on
Cherished memories never fade
because one loved is gone
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart
For as long as there is a memory
they live on in our heart
Though absent you are very near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
My thoughts are ever with you
Though you have passed away.
And those who loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.
love and miss you Dad x
A Visitor From Heaven
A visitor from heaven If only for awhile
A gift of love to be returned we think of you and smile
A visitor from heaven accompanied by grace
Reminding of a better love and of a better place
With aching hearts and empty arms we send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go but we're so glad you came
We're so glad you came a visitor from heaven
If only for a day we thank Him for the time He gave
And now it's time to say we trust you to the Fathers love
And to His tender care held in the everlasting arms
And we're so glad you're there we're so glad you're there
With breaking hearts and open hands we send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go but we're so glad you came
We're so glad you came
WORDS OF AN ANGEL
May the angels keep you till morning.
May they guide you through the night.
May they comfort all your sorrows.
May they help you win the fight.
May they keep watch on your soul.
May they show you better ways.
May they guard you while you're sleeping.
May they see you through your days.
May they show you new hopes.
May they still your every doubt.
May they calm your every fear.
May they hear you when you shout.
May the angels keep you til morning.
More than this I cannot pray.
And if the angels ever fail you.
Then may God be there that day.
**********************************
Angel of comfort
When each day brings only sadness
and your heart is filled with pain
You will find it hard to believe
that you'll ever smile again
But when your crying deep inside
an angel always hears
And will be there to comfort you
and wipe away your tears
There are wings of love around you
and you can depend upon
Your angel, who will give you hope
and the strength to carry on.

Love always elaine xxxxxxxxxxxxx
~~ The Hand Of God ~~
I felt the hand of god today
it touched my broken heart
it didn't mend it never will
but at least it was a start
He did his best to comfort me
and help me understand
the reason why he took you
into the promised land
The angels must have sung with joy
with arms outstretched with love
and welcome you into the home
they share with god in heaven above
His promise to the kind and good
is joy beyond compare
those things you were abundantly
and of joy you take your share
Try as we might it's hard to grasp
you are no longer here
for all we long for everyday
is to have and hold you near
Our days are filled with longing
to see your smiling face
to enjoy once more the happy times
and share a warm embrace
Instead we struggle on and on
the pain it will not go
with only memories to keep us sane
oh how we miss you so
It's hard to go on living
we are so tired and lonely
each day all we can think is
'why? and oh, if only'
But these are things we cannot change
as much as we might try
and so we go on thinking
'oh, if only and oh why?
Love Elaine xxxxxxxxxxxxx
*Darling Daddy*
You taught me many things in life
that I will have to do,but you never
taught me how to cope with pain of
losing you.
My dear family
Dry your tears today
You know i love you so
It hurts me much to see you cry
Cos my family don't you know
I'll never leave you all alone
Iv'e never left your hearts
God took me by the hand that day
He said we'de never part
He kept his promise to me
I visit you all the time
You are the sweetest family
an angel here could have
If I could write a letter
I'me sure you know I would
To let you know I'm safe from harm
And that heaven is real good
I'm here with many angels
Some that you may know
Those angels send all their love
To all of you below
I know one day we'll meet again
On the day that you come home
Iv'e saved a place for you my loved ones
It's near gods precious throne
I'll wrap my arms around you and
I'll lead you up gods stairs
Till then my lovely family
Carry on and dry those tears
Please do me one big favour
Look after one another
Please take the time to smile and think
That you still have each other.
LOVE ALWAYS DAD XXXXX
A SMILE FOR YOU
Smiling is infectious, you catch it like the flu
When some one smiled at me today I started Smiling too
I passed around the corner and someone saw my Grin
When he smiled I realized I'd passed it on to him
I thought about that smile and realised its Worth.
A single smile just like mine could travel around The earth.
So if you feel a smile begining don’t leave it Undetected
Lets start an epidemic quick and get the world Infected
EVERY ONE NEEDS A SMILE
LOVE ALWAYS SANDRA & MICHAELA & OUR ANGELS PETER, DAVID & VIOLET XXXXX
SENT WITH LOVE XXXXXXXX
God looked around his garden
which was a beautiful sight
he knew there would be others
who could come to him tonight
He tended to his garden daily
to make it a beautiful view
because he knew that others
would help him to tend it too
He prepared for new arrivals
morning, noon and even night
because he wanted heaven to be
a place that was just right
There was precious rosebuds
who didn't bloom on earth
and god had their presence
right from their very birth
There was mothers and fathers
who had gently gone to sleep
he wrapped himself around them
and in heaven he did safely keep
Also grandmothers and grandfathers
whom the angels did hold
keeping them so warm at night
if they should feel the cold
There was also aunts and uncles
maybe a nephew and a little niece
but you can rest assured
they are all very much at peace
If you have lost a dear loved one
their presence is still all around
you might not be able to hear them
but if you look they can be found
Fingerprints and lots of memories
pictures of them thats in your mind
and when you're really missing them
all these things that you can find
The handwriting thats on a card
and maybe a special autograph
and there again, within your mind
is cherished memories of their laugh
Maybe they also had a creative hand
and left behind for you so much
and when you're feeling sad and down
remember to treasure that touch
Go into your mind in times of sadness
and remember what they didn't take above
can you think of just one thing now.....?
well they didn't take with them their love
I know nothing really comforts us
when a cherished loved one has gone
never forget that in your heart and mind
they stay and will always linger on
Love Always ~~ Elaine (demi-leighs auntie, mary and jimmy hitchens daughter)x♥x
