I would like to dedicate this site to my beautiful handsome grandad, Walter Hargreaves who was sadly
taken from us on 17th June 2006 in his 83rd year.
My grandad passed away in Bolton hospice after a brave battle with lung cancer, today he lives on
through his daughter, son, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
My grandad was my best friend, dad and hero rolled into one and i was so lucky to share such a
strong bond with him that i will always be eternally grateful that he was mine. He is never far
from my thoughts and i am honoured to have had him in my life.
I know that its not likely i will ever experience the kind of love i have for my grandad again but
i find this to be the most fitting way to pay tribute to such a fantastic, loving and proud man.
They say times a healer, we're still waiting x x x
Just a big thank you to all that have left candles for my dear grandad, i have been struggling alot
recently as i got married and really wanted grandad there, so please do not think i have not been
thinking of you all, i have, take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sadly my nana Joyce hughes (bolton) passed away 16th october 2007, she to has a site please feel
free to leave her a candle, god bless x
Always thinking of you. x

A brief moment of darkness
was all that I knew,
before Heaven's Gate
came into my view.
Loved ones and friends
I had missed for many years,
welcomed me with open arms
and many happy tears.
All the hurt, fear and pain
that I have ever known,
is gone from my life
I am finally home.
I gazed upon the Lord's
sweet smiling face,
and for the first time in my life
I knew and felt His grace.
I know that you miss me
but please dry your eyes,
I will always be watching and loving you
from my home in the sky.
A cool breeze on your face
a touch of light rain,
I will send as a reminder
that we will be reunited again.
Life on earth is but one
brief moment in time,
I am finally home
Eternity is mine.

Few people come into our lives
and make everything shine,
but you're one of those
rare and splendid jewels
who makes the whole world bright.
When I was sad, you made me smile.
When I was alone and blue,
you were there for me,
and you made me feel strong enough
to accomplish anything.
Because I appreciate
the many things you do,
more than words could say,
I'm sending you the Candle of Love,
and hoping you receive
many blessings from above.

LOVE SENT TO YOU AND YOUR ANGELS ALWAYS
~~~ LOVE FOREVER PAULA ~~~
No Night Without
There is no night without a dawning,
No winter without a spring
And beyond the dark horizon,
Our hearts will once more sing ....
For those who leave us for a while,
Have only gone away
Out of a restless, care worn world,
Into a brighter day. (By Helen Steiner Rice.)
I Felt an Angel
I felt an angel near today, though one I could not see
I felt an angel oh so close, sent to comfort me
I felt an angel's kiss, soft upon my cheek
And oh, without a single word of caring did it speak
I felt an angel's loving touch, soft upon my heart
And with that touch, I felt the pain and hurt within depart
I felt an angel's tepid tears, fall softly next to mine
And knew that as those tears did dry a new day would be mine
I felt an angel's silken wings enfold me with pure love
And felt a strength within me grow, a strength sent from above
I felt an angel oh so close, though one I could not see
I felt an angel near today, sent to comfort me.
Thank you Holly for your lovely messages, they mean so much. Thinking of you as always. xxx
For Holly and her wonderful grandad xxxxxxx

~Think of Me~
Remember Me:
To the living, I am gone.
To the sorrowful, I will never return.
To the angry, I was cheated,
But to the happy, I am at peace,
And to the faithful, I have never left.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore, gazing at a beautiful sea - remember me.
As you look in awe at a mighty forest and its grand majesty - remember me.
As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity - remember me.
Remember me in your heart, your thoughts, and your memories of the times we loved, the times we cried, the times we fought, the times we laughed.
For if you always think of me, I will have never gone.
Dear Holly, thank you so much for all your support, your candles and tributes mean so much. Sorry I haven't been on for a while, I have not been very well, but am always thinking of my GTS friends and their angels. All my love. xxx
~Things I left unsaid.~
Family o' mine:
I should like to send you a sunbeam, or the twinkle of some bright star,
or a tiny piece of the downy fleece that clings to a cloud afar.
I should like to send you the essence of a myriad sun-kissed flowers,
or the lilting song as it floats along, of a brook through fairy bowers.
I should like to send you the dew-drops that glisten at break of day,
and then at night the eerie light that mantles the Milky Way.
I should like to send you the power that nothing can overthrow -
the power to smile and laugh the while a-journeying through life you go.
But these are mere fanciful wishes; I'll send you a Godspeed instead,
and I'll clasp your hand - then you'll understand all the things I have left unsaid.
Holly, sorry I haven't been on for a while, I haven't been to well. All my love as always. xxx
Love to you all. xxx
Heaven's Side.
When the storm inside is raging
When the night has trapped your fears
When the nightmare starts unfolding
When you cannot stem your tears.
I shall see you in your sorrow
I shall feel your deep despair
Softly fold my arms around you
Let you know that I am there.
I have passed the veil of knowledge
Leaving you with earthly gloom
Heaven floats and flows between us
Death is neither end nor doom.
In the sunshine of our memories
Spun by silver thread so fine
Lives a picture of our loving
All is saved which is divine.
Hold our love which is forever
Call me and I'm by your side
Trust the voice you hear within you
Sending love from heaven's side.
A Letter From Home
Many days have passed now
Since I left your world behind
From so far away I watch you
As you hold me dear inside.
I know how much you miss me
Because I miss you in return
Although you know I’m happy
In your eyes the tears still burn.
I try to give you comfort
From heaven when I pray
The only wish I have
Is that I could take your pain away.
Please know how much I love you
That I am always by your side
You see, I have a purpose here
So open your heart wide.
I want to watch the good things
That will happen in your life
I can’t stand to see you sit there
And repeatedly ask why….
There is nothing that you did wrong
And there is nothing you didn’t say
I know your thoughts and worries
As I walk with you each day.
If you listen really closely
You can hear the words I say to you
You see, I still share my secrets
I tell you everything I do.
I stay strong because I love you
And because I know the day will come
When we’re allowed to be together,
We’ll walk hand in hand into the sun….
Holly and Ria, sorry I haven't been on for a while, you're still in my thoughts and prayers. Lots of love. xxx
~Wise Men Say~
Wise men talk of worlds beyond
Worlds beyond our eyes
A wondrous place of love and peace
To which the spirit flies
Wise men say we come again
To live another span
That death is just a stepping stone
A pause within the plan
Mystics say that many lives
Are needed to ensure
A perfect understanding
Of God's eternal law
Wise men say with smiling eyes
Our lives are but a dream
A brief illusion clothed in flesh
A role within a scheme
Wise men say that nothing dies
It only changes form
That life goes on despite the myth
We perish in death's storm
So when our loved ones pass away
Let hope replace our pain
Have faith and trust that God ensures
We shall all meet again
Holly, just to say that I'm thinking of you always, and I'm forever grateful to GTS for introducing me to the most amazing, supportive group of friends. All my love. xxx
