Laurie Barker - The loveliest man ever!. No-one had a bad word to say about him. He was such an amazing person, so positive + loved everyone. Even being around him would put a smile on everyone's face. The whole room would light up when he was around. A loving Dad, Grandad, Brother, Uncle and Friend. Never forgotten. Rest In Peace! xx
A light from our family is gone
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacant in the home
Which never can be filled
We have to mourn the loss of one
We would've loved to keep
But God who thought he loved you best
Has chosen for you to sleep
After a lifetime of your love and joy
And music to fill our ears
God leaves these wondrous memories
To help us through our tears
Love you so much xxxxxx

When Great Trees Fall
(Maya Angelou)
When great trees fall,
rocks on distant hills shudder,
lions hunker down
in tall grasses,
and even elephants
lumber after safety.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
When great souls die,
the air around us becomes
light, rare, sterile.
We breathe, briefly.
Our eyes, briefly,
see with
a hurtful clarity.
Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
examines,
gnaws on kind words
unsaid,
promised walks
never taken.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Great souls die and
our reality, bound to
them, takes leave of us.
Our souls,
dependent upon their
nurture,
now shrink, wizened.
Our minds, formed
and informed by their
radiance,
fall away.
We are not so much maddened
as reduced to the unutterable ignorance
of dark, cold
caves.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
And when great souls die,
after a period peace blooms,
slowly and always
irregularly. Spaces fill
with a kind of
soothing electric vibration.
Our senses, restored, never
to be the same, whisper to us.
They existed. They existed.
We can be. Be and be
better. For they existed.
✝•♥•✞•✝•♥•✞•✝•♥•✞•✝•♥•✞•✝•♥•✞•✝•♥•✞
From the tree of life, each leaf must fall
The green, the gold, the great, the small;
Each one in God's own time, He'll call
With perfect love He gathers all.
i need you to know...
i love you xxxxx
miss you soo much its unbelievable xxxxxxxxx
was in your house the other day...just watched lizzie for half an hour.....it wasnt the same, didnt feel right - youd think itd get easier but its not, driving out last night with mum, had such a strong feeling you shouldve been with us.

Thank you so so so so soooooo much for working with me today. And with Darren, was so impressed with the reading he gave from the bottle. I know you're right about the heart mending over time, tis just so hard to believe at times. I felt your energy with me more than ever today and im soo grateful, it made me feel really at ease and safe knowing you were round and iv not felt like that in a long time. Thank you so much. Love you millions xxx
Granddad, you were just a lad,
So many years ago.
You had your loves and had your dreams,
You watched us come and go.
You watched us make the same mistakes,
That you had made before,
But that just made you hold us tight,
And love us all the more.
We haven’t always thought about
The things that you have seen.
To us you’ve just been ‘Granddad’,
No thought of who you’ve been.
But we remember now in love,
Your life from start to end,
And we’re just glad we knew you,
As Granddad, and as Friend.
