Micheal was from Co Monghan Ireland he came over to England where he met his wife Joan of nearly 40 years. They had 5 Children Julie, Michael, Tracey, Joanne and Samantha. He also had 9 beautiful granchildren Kelly, Jordan, Matthew, Vanessa, Kirsty, Leah, Katie, Liam and a beautiful baby girl who he never got to meet.
Micheal wasn't a person to show affection but we all knew he loved us as he showed it by doing odd jobs, decorating and looking after the grankids. Micheal was a man who loved the odd wiskey and enjoyed spending time with his mates in his favourite pub.
Micheal's passing was a shock to all who knew him and the not knowing the cause of death is not a help. But hopefully some time soon all should be known.
He will be sadly missed by all his family in Ireland his family in England and all his friends.

Hi Dad,
How's things up there? Good I hope another friendly face has come to join you.
People say it gets easier as time goes by why they say that I don't know I miss my Dad wish you were still here.
The things you have missed that you would of enjoyed and there just not the same without you.
I know you cant be brought back but every night when I look at the sky I hope your the brightest star looking down on us I hope your proud of us. Little things happen and I think I'll just ring Dad then I remember your not here its hard without you and I wish you were still here.
Tell Alex to look down on Van and keep her safe.
Love you always missing you so much Sam xx

Missing you so much!!!

Hi there Dad,
Really missing you today still cant get my head round that your gone.
Everytime I'm in town I walk past your favourite pub and look in to where you always sat and your not there.
Things are so confused as to why you went
I wish I'd of done more to make you get help
I wish I would of said more to make you realise
I wish I would of talked more and listened to your cry's
I just wish you were still here so we could of been how we used to be.
The last day I saw you I was so mad seeing you how you were
I wish I didn't leave and turn a blind eye
I wish I opened my mouth and spoke
I wish I could turn back the clocks
Maybe you would of still been here to see your 2 beautiful granchildren come into the world. To celebrate christmas and see in the new year.
Life seem's strange without you here but I guess this is life and we'll be together one day.
Until then your always in my thoughts and heart
Love forever Sam xx

Missing you xxx

Father is a special gift
one you think will stay
you never think the time will come
when he is called away
but when the moment comes
and you never said goodbye
the pain overwhelms you
and all you do is cry
you laughed with me in good times
and cried with me when sad
you always went without for me
you gave me all you had
you taught me many things in life
that i would have to do
but dad, you never taught me how to cope with losing you.
Missing so much dad love always and forever Sam xxx
