John DouglasCONNORIn loving memory of John Douglas Connor of Rutherglen, Passed away 24th August 2021.

Beloved only son of the late John Patrick (Jack) Connor and Helen (Eileen) nee Kelly. Devoted and dearly loved brother of Dorothy Ellen.

" I thank my God upon every remembrance of you."

You were meant to be here. A messenger on a mission. Your work was done, you had completed the circle and were called home. Safely held in angels' wings. You know all the secrets of the universe now. Fly free and forever in peace, joy and love, soul voyager.

Sleep on soldier. Until we meet again. Love always, Dorothy

I am listening to the most beautiful music and singing at the BBC Proms just now. A lovely song Hope Is A Thing With Feathers by John Rutter. You had John Rutter's Celtic (Gaelic) Blessing 'Deep Peace' sung by Katherine Jenkins at your funeral for the commital-so beautiful.

I am following the Bhoys for you and doing my best to look after everyone and still "making a show " of myself (as you would say) in the papers! Dad's story in two of them last week so still scribbling.

May you hear all the beautiful music in heaven and find the peace that passeth all undertanding. You know the great secret now and are held in loving arms for eternity. Sleep on soldier. Safely held in angels' wings.
With love from your wee sister Dorothyxx ps Lucy is staring another college course tomorrow and so looking foward to it. A great lass. She will be 21 this year. The only picture you kept in your wallet was of her as a baby.

Miss you today and always , my big brother and best pal.

Thank you for the butterflies, the song Hold My Hand I'm A Stranger in Paradise -at exactly the right time and the white feather as always. Sharon got in touch at exactly that time too.

I am doing my best to keep singin' n dancin' as we always said. It's so hard without you. You were my rock. My strength and my safe harbour, my shelter from the storm. I hope you think I've done okay.

We have our paving stones together, our stars together in the universe and two wee trees growing bravely together in rich Scottish soil. I have kept my promises I made to you in the last letter I put into your hand that only you and I know about.

Night, night, love and fishes. Love to Mum and Dad. I know when my time comes you will come and meet me and we will all be reunited and singing in the heavenly choir.
Until we meet again, Love Always Dotxxx
