There are no words to express what you meant to me,
And for being the Dad you did not have to be.
A beautiful person with a wonderful heart,
And I miss you so much since we had to part.
We may have not been related by blood,
But you loved me more than I thought you would.
I'll treasure the memories and I'll not feel sad.
Because I was so lucky to have the perfect step-dad.

Malcolm missing you always

Everytime I look at the stars
I know that's where you'll be
Shining like you always do
And watching over me

Although the pain I'm feeling
Is with me every day
The love you left inside my heart
Will never go away

Life goes on without you
But it will never be the same
And if I had time once more
I'd do it all again

So when my days are darkest
And I just can't see the light
I'll look up at the brightest star
And you'll be shining bright

Love Dianne xxx

Thank you for being in my life grandad. I wish I could have spent more time left with you. I’m so grateful for having somebody like you in my life and I’m gonna miss you so much. I hope you’re resting well in heaven and that’s your enjoying it up there. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me especially letting me stay with you over the time. You always made the best pancakes and I don’t think anybody could beat them. I promise I’ll look after Diane for you. I love you lots grandad ❤️

I want to take a moment to say, Thank you for being in my life and for being a wonderful fatherly guide. You didn't have to take us in, to love and care for us like your own kids, but you did. With a heart so big and for that my love for you unconditional ❤️. Although you sleep in heaven now, your not that far away, my heart is filled with memories and I know you are with me everyday, you lived your life with such meaning and with a smile upon your face. I know you are at peace now and in a special place and you had better come and find me when I come to heavens gates.

Good night dad, I miss you dearly
