John, as I would say Eli.

He was a funny, caring, strong willed man surrounded by those who truly loved him.

You will be sadly missed by all but, at long last with your dearly beloved wife, finally at peace.
Which brings everyone around you peace too🙏❤️

Rest in peace Eli
Xx

Grandad... I've been really struggling to find the words. It's been such a shocking time, losing you. And has left a really vast hole in our family.
You have left so many warm, funny, heartfelt memories though Grandad. You were truly one of life's characters, and amongst tears, I've spent a lot of time smiling and chuckling thinking of your one off sayings and quirky ways. What a treasure you were. What a treasure you still are.
Your passing is one of those situations that's really hard for those you've left behind, but amongst all the sadness, a part of me can't help but find comfort that you fulfilled your wish to be with Nan. I hope that reunion was all you wanted it to be, and more. I am warmed by the idea that you may also have run into "Rockett" by now too. What a beautiful thought that you are all together again.

Rest easy, my Lovely. Our Eli John. You are so dearly missed, and forever loved xxx

RIP John

‘ if I should go tommorow’

If I should go tomorrow
It would never be goodbye,
For I have left my heart with you,
So don’t you ever cry.
The love that’s deep within me,
Shall reach you from the stars,
You’ll feel it from the heavens,
And it will heal the scars.

Thinking of you all at this sad time xxx
