My DAD Norman Whiffen, Norfolk, England. Died tragically on 7th September 1997 aged 60yrs. He was
taken from me so suddenly when i was 25yrs old, as anyone who knew him would know, such sadness to
cope with and so many things unsaid. A great business man, a Coal Merchant with such a loving
family, children, grandchildren and more grandchildren who will never have the pleasure in knowing
their loving grandad. Couldnt have wanted more, but we just dont know what's going to happen
next, what is just around the corner for us. I just know you always want us to think you are just in
the next room, never far away. Such a loving Dad, husband to mum, and Grandad to 12 grandchildren. I
had two children when i lost you and we talk about you often, i now have five and its so sad they
never knew their loving grandad.

Such a respected man loved by so many, always helping others, so many people with stories to tell of
being helped by you in a time of need and missed by so many, especially me. My life was ripped apart
and has never repaired since, just still seems like yesterday with every day that passes life is so
unfair. That awful day will stay with me forever i would give anything for just one day with you
again, to say goodbye. I love you now as i did then but miss you so much more as time passes by its
so hard without you.

Its nice to share memories and to feel you're not alone so please light a candle for my special
Dad he was one in a million, a precious loving man

A LITTLE HUG ♥♥♥

A little hug from me to you
To make you smile
When your feeling blue,

To make you happy
When your sad
To let you know life aint so bad

Now I have given
A hug to you
Somehow I feel
Much better too

Hugs are better
When they there shared
So pass this on to show you care...

MY LITTLE ANGEL

You’ve just walked on ahead of me
And I’ve got to understand
You must release the ones you love
And let go of their hand.

I try and cope the best I can
But I’m missing you so much
If I could only see you
And once more feel your touch.

Yes, you’ve just walked on ahead of me
Don’t worry I’ll be fine
But now and then I swear I feel
Your hand slip into mine.

FOUR CANDLES

The first candle represents our grief.
The pain of losing you is intense
It reminds us of the depth of our love for you.

The second candle represents our courage.
To confront our sorrow,
To comfort each other,
To change our lives.

This third candle we light in your memory.
For the times we laughed,
The times we cried,
The times we were angry with each other,
The silly things you did,
The caring and joy you gave us.

The fourth candle is just for being you

GOOD-BYE

I know my time has ended,
Its time for me to leave.
I want you all to know,
You mean so much to me.

Why I had to go,
Was a mystery to me.
All I heard was God,
Saying “ Please come home to me.”

So I left my friends and family,
I didn’t say goodbye.
All I got to see,
Were the tears in their eyes.

But as I saw them crying,
I asked them not to grieve.
Knowing how much we care,
That our love will never cease.

You can look up at the sky,
And look over to the sea.
When you feel that gentle breeze,
You always think of me.

When your time comes,
To join me up above.
We will be reunited,
And still, we’ll have our love.

I CAN'T REMEMBER

Just a line to say I'm living
That I'm not among the dead
Though I'm getting more forgetful
And mixed up in my head.

I got used to arthritis,
To my dentures I'm resigned,
I can manage my bifocals,
But God, I miss my mind.

For sometimes I can't remember,
When I stand at the foot of the stair
If I must go up for something
Or have I just come down from there?

And before the fridge so often,
My poor mind is filled with doubt,
Have I just put the food away,
Or have I come to take some out?

And there's the time when it is dark
With my nightcap on my head,
I don't know if I'm retiring,
Or just getting out of bed.

If it's my turn to write you,
There's no need for getting sore,
I may think that I have written
And don't want to be a bore.

Remember that I love you
And wish that you were near.
Now it is nearly mail time,
So I must say goodbye dear.

There I stand beside the mailbox,
With face so very red,
Instead of mailing you my letter,
I had opened it instead.

YOU WERE MY SUNSHINE ON A WINTER DAY
WHEN I WAS LOST YOU LIT MY WAY
I PRAY I'LL BE WITH YOU AGAIN
TO END MY GRIEF AND HEEL MY PAIN

ITS NOT THE SAME WITHOUT YOU HERE
YOUR PICTURES I CANT HELP BUT STARE
SO DEAR IS WHAT YOU ARE TO ME
INSIDE MY HEART YOU'LL ALWAYS BE

YOUR FACE I SEE THROUGH TEARFUL EYES
MY SMILE IS JUST MY BRAVE DISGUISE
BUT NO ONE CRIES IN HEAVEN ABOVE
THERE IS NO PAIN THERE'S ONLY LOVE

A PURE WHITE DOVE SENDS ME YOUR PEACE
TO HELP ME COPE AND FEEL AT EASE
AND PLEASE GOD ANSWER JUST ONE PREAYER
TAKE CARE OF MY LOSS SO DEAR.

Linda Hutt December 29, 2008

Gone are the days we used to share,
But in our hearts you are always there;
The gates of memory will never close,
We miss you more than anyone knows;
With tender love and deep regret,
We who love you will never forget.

"Let it not be said my life was in vain;
I've just moved on to a higher plane,
So I can keep better watch over you,
As you move on the way you need to do.
Though my life has reached an end,
I'm waiting for you around the bend.
I beg you-- please don't weep for me!
It's not so bad, for soon you'll see
That I will linger long past this sunset
In the hearts of you who love me yet."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I HOPE THAT YOU ALL HAVE A SPECIAL WEEKEND FILLED
WITH LOVE,HEALTH AND HAPPINESS AND BEAUTIFUL
MEMORIES OF OUR ANGELS,TAKECARE MY FRIENDS
AND GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU,
WITH LOVE AS ALWAYS LINDA.XXX

GOOD AFTERNOON MY FRIEND

Linda Hutt October 16, 2008

Nothing is ever truly gone
like a puddle of water after the rain
It evaporates back into the clouds
and sometime later returns again.
Like the memory you'll forever hold
of your loved one that pasted on.
They are a part of your thoughts and heart
therefore they'll forever live on.
Yet as for now they are resting
for now they are at peace.
Say so long, never goodbye,
until once again in heaven you'll meet.
*************************************
i hope that you all have a good day,
and takecare my friend.
with love as always linda.xxx

opened up a box one day
What treasures did I find!
Letters and some photographs
Of days we left behind
I drifted back to yesterday
The thought was oh, so clear
For just a moment, anyway
It felt like you were here
I smile when I think of you
Sometimes I cry so much
I'm all alone without you now
I crave to feel your touch
But God had other plans for you
An Angel he did find
So now my box of memories
Is all that's left behind
**************************
thank you my friends for all
your lovely support it means
so very much to me and my karl.
i hope that you all a good monday
god bless you all and takecare.
with love as always linda.xxx

WE ARE ALWAYS TOGETHER
EVEN THOUGH WE ARE APART
THOUGH DISTANCE MAY BE BETWEEN
WE ARE NEVER SEPARATE IN HEART.

FOR WHEN WE ARE TOGETHER
WE MAKE BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES
SO WE ARE ALWAYS CLOSE
EVEN THROUGH MOUNTAINS,VALES,OR SEA.

THROUGH THE GENTLE WISPER OF BREEZE
OR STARS ON A MOONLIGHT NIGHT
OUR LOVE TALKS TO OUR HEART
WITH WORDS MADE JUST RIGHT.

OUR HEARTS ARE ALWAYS ONE
THOUGH THEY MAY BE TWO
YOU ARE ALWAYS HERE WITH ME
AS I AM ALWAYS THERE WITH YOU.
***********************************
I HOPE YOU ALL LIKE THIS NATIVE AMERICAN POEM
AS MUCH AS I DO, AND TO LET YOU KNOW I WILL BE AWAY THIS WEEKEND. SO I HOPE THAT YOU ALL HAVE
A LOVELY WEEKEND AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF
WITH LOVE AS ALWAYS LINDA.XXX
