My precious Dad was diagnosed with cancer on 15th July 2009, on the 22nd July 2009 it was confirmed that the cancer was terminal, lung and brain. My amazing Dad took the news well and he put his heart and soul into the chemotherapy he was given. He never moaned or complained about being ill and enjoyed each and every moment of time he had. He very sadly left us on the 26th October 2009 to be with his much loved brothers and sister in heaven.

My Dad was the best father a child could want; he was a husband, a fantastic and loved Grandad, a Brother and an adored Uncle. Dad was self taught and one of the most intelligent men I have known, he had self respect and manors to which anyone would be proud of.
Growing up as a child both I and my sister felt loved and safe with a Dad like ours. He simply was the best.
Always in our loves and hearts, today, tomorrow and each day xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dad, you would be so proud of your girls. They adore you so much and talk about you so often, you gave them so much love. I treasure everything you said to me and I play it over and over in my head, it helps me feel you close to me. You were the best Dad I could have ever wished for. Love you always xxxxx

Hiya Uncle Leo, I havnt been on here in so long, forgive me, How you doing up there?, watching over everyone I imagine. Alot has went on for me in the past year, I have my own little flat with Nathan and I'm goin to be a mammy to a little boy!! I bet your surprised, to be honest I am too, I'm excited but scared.We are calling him Riley James, watch over him when he arrives please. We all miss you so much, my mam talks about you all the time, she carries your hanky around in her dressing gown, her coat, her bag, basically everywhere she goes, your hanky goes too, she didnt want to wash it as she said she wouldnt be able to smell you any more. Grandad misses you so much too, he always talks about when you's were younger when I go, I think thats his way of coping, Nana's doing great too, their health is progressing and hopefully stays that way. I bet you were so proud of your Sam on her wedding day & Nichola and the girls, they all looked beautiful, I wasnt well enough to go due to my pregnancy but my thoughts were with them throughout the day! Well Uncle Leo I will be back on when I can and hopefully it will be telling you Riley has arrived safely and healthy. Love and Miss You xxxxxxxx

Happy Birthday xx

Another birthday gone Dad, life is so unfair. I know you wouldn’t be sitting sad though, you would have been watching over us with that big smile. We took your cards and some flowers to the grave, I hope you liked them. Nichola asked me to wish you happy birthday on here too xx The kids really miss you Dad, we took them out on Saturday and had your song on in the car. They will never forget the love their Granda had for them.
Miss you so much Dad, the pain will never fade x

If We Could Bring You Back Again


If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We’d express all our unspoken love;
We’d have countless things to say.


If we could bring you back again,
We’d say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more than we ever knew.


If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You’d know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would
R.I.P. Leo.xxxx

Dad I have so many feelings, that I wish I could share with you, I am so happy in Portsmouth but wish I could see more of the kids, I miss them so much. Now Kaegar has gone the house is so empty. I have been pre occupied with the wedding which is great, but today at lunch it hit me like a brick.............. Your not going to be with me. I wish I could hide under your pillow and make everything right. I am so tearful today, I just need one of your big tight cuddles. So many things you told me have come to light over the last few months, you were always right. I miss you so much Dad, I just want to see your face. Love you always xxxxxxxxxxxx

My Dad and my best friend that is Leo Wilson.

Dad you were always there for me, to give me advice and your thoughts on anything from my crazy friends to what I was wearing to go out. I miss that, I miss having my best friend. Lately, I have thought about you so much, when I see a man sat at the end of the bar, I wonder if he has a loving family, If he is lonely? I know you loved us as a family with all your heart, and I hope that we made you feel loved, I hope you weren’t lonely. I think about you at night, I miss my good night kiss, and you saying “I love you Sam”. I miss the sound of you stirring your tea in the morning, I miss your newspapers making a mess, I miss seeing your bar of soap in the bathroom, I miss not being able to give you pens I pick up at training events and things, I miss not chatting about the news with you, I miss you!!!
Love you always xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I love you xx

Not been on for so long Dad, I am sorry. We have only just got the internet linked up at home, and its still not right, so sneaked on at work. Things have changed so much Dad, we are now in Portsmouth and amazingly your boy is great (thank you!). Nichola is just amazing Dad! The kids are all good but Ellie & Charlie miss you dearly, Ellie was upset last week because of School/missing you – please watch over her xx Emma’s mam is very poorly Dad, keep her out of pain and suffering. My heart is hurting more than ever, I keep crying when I am alone (even on the train), I miss you so much and can’t comprehend why you are not here – I need you so much, Dad, You are my whole world. Love and miss you so much xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
