Love you always Dad. Missing you so much still. Not a day goes by when we don't talk about you. As you're joined by more of our people as time goes by, I hope that you're all peaceful in whatever comes next.
I'd still give anything to have you back.
Missing you forever.

Can’t believe another year has passed since you left us. Hope you welcomed Mum? Yet another blow in February! My hip is doing well, am keen to get the right side done now. Once that’s done it’s time to move on with things. I miss you so much & we often mention you. As you’re never far from our thoughts. Love you always.
Happy Birthday Dad. Thinking of you as always. Love from the Woods' and Woodlets xx
Happy Birthday my darling. Here at our favourite place. Remembering our shared happy times. It’s mega hot today ( mid 30’s). So taking things slowly & enjoying the day. Happy heavenly birthday. Miss you so much. Always in my heart. Xx
Happy Fathers Day Dad. Miss you so much xx
Not long till your birthday can’t believe you would have been 86! I’m going to spend the day at our favourite beach & remember how we enjoyed it. Each day is a challenge as there is always a reminder of you. The garden is a bit wild as I’m spending most weekends with Mum.
Austin is so tall now ( as tall as - if not taller than Dean). He’s totally got your sense of humour & always makes us laugh. Lois is independent ( as she always has been) but kind natured. You’d be so proud of them both. Hope you are enjoying things & meeting with family & friends. Miss you so very much. Love you always. 😍🥰😘
Your little apple tree in full bloom. Could be another bumper year for it..need to tackle your greenhouse as raspberry canes have sneaked in😅. Miss you everyday.💌
Somehow seeing the snowdrops pop up by your front gate always reminds me of you. As the past 7 years have rolled past, the pain of losing you just gets worse and more deep seated. It amplifies how much we lost, not just you in your illness, but our whole family. I miss you so much, almost as much as Mum who is broken without you.
I hope John H found you and you're occasionally supping a Brandy and Coffee together while reading the paper and shooting the breeze.
Im relieved to finally be able to breathe and grieve for you, but the tears won't stop coming, it's like that horrible day all over again.
I love you Dad. Always. Xxx
Well not long till I’m on Famara beach with you. Our favourite place. Can’t wait to be with you there for a long walk as we used to do. Missing you😘
Missing you so very much still. All my love, hope you are at rest😘😘
You've been prominent on my mind. Can feel your cuddles - missing you so very much. You're a hard act to follow. No one understands me as you did. Not that I want or have met anyone else. You always made me laugh saying " you'll not be alone long". My choice & not interested as no one can match you. Forever on my mind & in my heart. Miss you🥰😘😘😘
He's still with you Mum, every day 💖
Hoping things are now nearly at an end. I got the important things that you had wanted. However once things are finalised that will be the end of communications. For me it's a great relief to have followed your wishes. Miss you everyday. You'd be so proud of Lois having her hair cut & donating it for wigs for children with cancer. All her own idea. Austin is still as handsome & funny & very tall. We talk about you often. All my love😘
Happy Heavenly Birthday. Wishing we could spend today together. Missing you constantly.💖💌
Happy Heavenly Birthday Dad ❤️
Will have a vodka and lime in your honour tonight.
Thinking of you always 😘

I missed you quietly today. So quietly that no one noticed.
I missed you as I climbed out of bed and as I brushed my teeth; when I waited at the lights on the drive into work and as I heard the rain outside my window.
I missed you as I ordered lunch and as I kicked off my shoes when I got home; as I switched off the lights and climbed into bed for the night.
I missed you without tears or noise or fanfare.
But oh how I felt it.
I felt it in the morning, at lunchtime, in the evening and at night. I felt it as I woke, as I waited, as I worked. I felt it at home, on the road, in the light, in the dark, in the rain.
I felt it in every one of those moments, each one sitting heavier and heavier as the weight of me missing you kept growing and growing.
Yes, I missed you so quietly today.
But I felt it so loudly.

Hi dad, I did leave you a father's day message on Sunday, some how it didn't save I probably forgot to press submit, I didn't forget you.
You are still missed as much today as on the day you passed. You are always in my thoughts and always be.
Love you dad, love from the Chadwick lot xx
Happy Father's Day to the best Dad there ever was. We were checking out pictures of you this morning and having a little chuckle about the zip line. Austin and Lois miss you so much, they never stop talking about you. I reckon you've got the Sunday paper and a Brandy and Benedictine to keep your morning smooth.
I hope you're looking after Aunty Mary. Sending love from all of us xxx
Happy father's day, you are one special man and dad, I miss you as much today as I did when you passed.
Sending you all my love dad you are always in my thoughts xxx
Your little apple tree in full bloom. Could be another bumper year for it..need to tackle your greenhouse as raspberry canes have sneaked in😅. Miss you everyday.💌

A few of your favourite Rose. Pruned last year & now glorious for your birthday. Now trying to o get final works done I' l work until I complete your 'to do list'. You worked for us - l intend to follow your intentions. Missing you continuosly.
I miss you so much Dad. It hurts as much as it did 5 years ago. Time has stood still, waiting for you to tap on the window before letting yourself in. You're never far from our thoughts & we speak of you daily. What I wouldn't give for one more day x
Roses are still looking stunning a month later 🥰
Here is your favourite garden rose back in bloom. It's reaching for the stars despite being cut back. The back garden has changed due to the elder tree falling over due to the ivy weight. Looks much bigger. Missing you constantly. 💌🌹
Your favourite front garden Rose in bloom on your birthday. Miss you more than ever & always will. Happy Heavenly Birthday - blue eyes. Forever in my heart & thoughts. 😘😘😘🥰💌
By my side always Dad ❤️
Your little apple tree in full blossom. Looks like another bumper year for the apples. Just used some of last year's to make some chutney. Missing you, always in my thoughts.😘🥰
You always enjoyed seeing this little clump of snowdrops by the front gate...it's a lovely sunny but cool day today. You'd have enjoyed pottering in the garden. Love you & miss you. X
The first pickings from the raspberry canes. I remember you having Al fresco lunches' direct from the canes. You said when they were warm from the sun they tasted the best. Miss you. X
First full pick of your raspberries + my Tayberries. They look & smell devine. I know you would have picked & eaten most direct from the canes. Makes me smile when I remember your 'al fresco lunches' . You always had the Biggest smile. Miss you. X
One of your favourites from the front.
John's installation - he was so proud to be WM. I miss you so much - Hope you are celebrating today. Love you forever. Xx
Dad, picture of you, Gracie and Austin, I think the pair of them only have eyes for your wedding cake.
The fantastic four and our fantastic ladies
John over the years. A much loved and respected brother, friend and confidant over his lifetime. God bless and rest in peace. We all miss you so very much. Love Jean and Tom
