WilliamSMITHPeacefully, at his home, with his family by his bedside, on 16th November 2014, at the age of 66. William was the eldest son of Catherine and the late John Smith and brother to Robert, Colin and Scott. William leaves his wife Elizabeth, sons Graham and Gordon, daughters-in-law Andrea and Lorna and grandchildren Louise, Christopher, Lauren, Mark and David. When I am gone, release me, let me go, I have so many thing to see and do. You mustn't tie yourselves to me with tears, Just be happy that we had some years. I gave you my love, you can only guess how much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it's time I travelled on alone. Do grieve a while for me if you must, then let your grief be comforted by trust. It's only for a while that we must part, So keep our memories within your hearts. I won't be far away, for life goes on, So if you need me call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me I'll be near, And if you listen with your heart, you will hear, All of my love around so soft and dear. And then when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say welcome home. 'Till we meet again. - Your loving and devoted wife Elizabeth. We sat beside your bedside, Our hearts were crushed and sore, We did our best to the end, 'Till we could do no more. In tears we watched you sinking, We watched you fade away, And though our hearts were breaking, We knew you could not stay. You left behind some aching hearts, That loved you most sincere. We never shall forget you dad, Because you were so dear. - Your loving sons Graham and Gordon, their wives Andrea and Lorna and all your loving grandkids. Funeral will be held at 11.30am on Friday 21st November 2014 at Coltness Memorial Church in Newmains, thereafter at Cambusnethan Cemetery for 12.30pm.
