Raymond Ireson (6 Jun 1940 - 30 May 2022)

Into the year 2024 and the pain is as raw as it was that sad day in May 2022.The years will continue to pass yet my feelings will never waiver. You are my inspiration for everything I do, for each breath, for every conversation, for all of my actions and responses. For all I have mentioned above, I do not accept you leaving me, it is the most difficult scenario I have ever faced, and it will continue always.
I love and miss you so much, Steve X

Dear Dad, Raymond.
You are constantly on my mind, it is some sort of comfort to me but not as real as being sat next to you or having a conversation with you.
Your love, loyalty, dedication, wisdom, kindness, support, generosity, thoughtfulness, consideration and faithfulness is truly unrivalled.
Your achievements in life are remarkable and came with humble acceptance.
A gentleman that graced this earth, and which makes me so proud.
You yourself dealt with grief for John and Shirley's passing in a way which was extra-ordinary whilst putting on such a brave face for me and your three grandsons.
Again a truly remarkable & personal demonstration of resilience.
I hope with all my heart that we meet again, that would be so wonderful to see you for a second opportunity in time.
I love and miss you dearly, Steven Xx

I continue to talk about you every day to the people I meet.My words are of the highest praise for such a wonderful father and experience an overwhelming feeling of pride and emotion to refer you and describe a person that possessed the kindest nature.I miss you so so much, Steve X

My feelings for you are as strong as ever.I continue to wish that you are present with us to share family moments and enjoy each others company.Your grandsons are having birthdays at this time and I couldn't wish for anything else apart from you being with us to celebrate this occasions.Small things happen which makes me think its you behind them.I hope more than anything that it is you influencing a situation.
I miss you so much it hurts.
Love Steve X

Every day is as painful as the day I lost you.I do things every day and you are in my thoughts with every task.My thoughts and prayers never waiver for you.I continue to mention you to many people I meet with because I am so very proud of you and all that you achieved.
Love you forever, Steve x

Dear dad, nothing changes for me, my thoughts of you remain tge same every single day.It is unbearable not to see you in person, only in my mind.My forever hope is that we do meet again, I love you and miss you with all my heart, Steve X

Where has one year gone Dad, miss you so much, think of you all the time every day. Thankfully I see an image of you in my mind constantly.I hope we see each other again in perhaps, a peaceful place.I love you always, Steve X

Nine months dad, it seems like an eternity since I saw your face.I miss you more than words can explain, it is so very painful as life without you.
Despite the words you still inspire me every single day.
Love always Steve x

I see you in my mind but not in person which is not the same.
Just being in the same room as you meant so much to me.
My thoughts are of you every day and will not change.You are everything to me.I love you X

I long to hug you,to make you a hot drink, to fetch your slippers, to discuss footie.I miss you so much X

Almost six months have passed.
I am reminded of you every day in the things I do.My memories of you will not fade, you are my inspiration in all that I do.My love and appreciation for such a wonderful man will never waiver.
Forever in my heart.
I miss you so much Xx

Separated by earth and stones but my love for you and connection with you remains forever Xx

I miss you so much each and every day.A gaping hole in my life will never be filled.
I am beyond sorrow to not see and hear you every day.
Nothing maters any more.
Steven
