Forever Missed, the title of this memorial site will never be more appropriate to anybody but you Johnny. I cannot believe two years have gone by since I received that devastating phone call from Linda. You have left behind a very loving family who are still supporting each other all the time, I know that Linda and your girls are doing their best on the surface to jog along from day to day but life will never be the same for them. I try to do my best to give them my support albeit from a distance. Rest in Peace Johnny, so cruelly taken much too soon x

My darling Dad it was 2 years ago today when we received that awful bang on the door that news that I could never imagine having. My dear dad had left us. The pain of your passing dad never goes away my anger my, my pain, my sadness, my tears never go away. I wish you were here dad to wipe my tears as you always did. Me mum and Deanne are broken without you but we are doing the best we can. I love you so much Dad no words can describe how much I miss you. Your plant is doing so well beautiful forgetmenots I amazed myself that I managed to grow them. Maybe they have had your guidance and help thank you! My special man R.I.P lots of love from your Elizabeth xxx

April 9, 2017

Two whole years, how? I just don't know but time has just rolled by and I am in it. We are still Johnny and Linda and that's how it will always be but it's lonely and different now, but I know you are right beside me. I miss you every minute of every day, you always made me feel safe, just like the song, " when I'm with you, I'm standing with an army". That is truly how I felt, your strength and love filled my life. I can't wait to be with you once again together but I know I have to. We were blessed with two beautiful daughters here on this Earth Plane so your love carries on in us all. I know you've met up with Mum and Dad and Aaron, Lisa too, my love is with you all always xxx

April 9, 2017

Wish we had more time to know you better, you warmed our hearts with your kindness and love. Everyday we live your memory through our friendship and love of your family, may god keep you safe in our hearts always.

Our plans for our 50th Wedding Anniversary I have carried out my darling, it has been a beautiful day, I know you have been here with me, I love you today as I did the day we married but with an added depth that comes from sharing a life with the person you love. We always asked eachother, if we could still be in love as we were when we reach 50 years, the answer was always yes and our feelings for eachother up to the day you passed to Spirit and how I feel today is definitely a resounding YES! God Bless you my darling today and always, your Sinny xxx

My darling JC, as we approach Christmas, it is with sadness in our hearts because you are not here on Earth Plane, although we know you always come around us which helps and is a great comfort knowing you are there still sharing with us.

My darling dad1 year ago today you were taken from us and I miss you so much. I do not know why, I ask the question every day. You were simply the most amazing special, caring, loving man and dad.

I love you so much and wish you were still here remembering all the special times with you Feel the love Dad, may peace be with you today and always lots of love and God Bless xxx

April 9, 2016

I remember John from when he danced with Linda so spectacularly when we all went away to Oxford for the weekend. I'd like to think of him dancing today. He was always mindful of his beautiful wife and watched her steps and made sure that his steps were in time with hers. Although I only met him a couple of times he would make me think that I was an important person to him, because I was important to his daughter. Special family that he helped create, you are remembering him so well every day. X

April 9, 2016

Well my darling, Deanne, Elizabeth and myself have just planted in three separate pots, forget-me-nots for you, perfect short time together but very meaningful. We all love and miss you so much today and always xxx

April 8, 2016

One whole year ago was to be our last time we said good night to each other, the last time we were together as a whole, you left for work and my world fell apart and everything stopped,because you didn't come home, you returned home to Spirit. I know I have to stay here and live to the best I can without you and that is the hardest thing to do, I love and miss you my darling always, you are my life , my very being and without you there are no true words to describe the pain. God bless you my JC until we can be together again xxx

March 18, 2016

Today my darling is our 49th wedding anniversary, we shared 48 married years and this is now one of many 1st's I have to endure, but I will knowing that one day we will be together again. I miss you so much, it is a constant pain that I live with, how can I expect anything else when you were always so loving and caring, that is the price we pay for having such a special person in our lives. I love you now as I did then and more, you are my life, God bless you my darling, happy anniversary, until we meet again, I love you with all my heart and soul xxx

March 13, 2016

Hi my darling Dad just had tears fall down as I was reading something about when we meet again and my stomach turned over with realisation again that I cannot speak to you or hug you. I now know the first thing I will do when we meet again is to run up to you and hold your face in my hands and just stare so closely and give you the biggest hug and hold you so tight. Miss you my darling special man....until we meet again love you daddy x

March 4, 2016

My darling JC, I have now returned from the country we both love so much, with the beautiful children and smiles everywhere, The Gambia. Some of your ashes are now settled in a beautiful place and one you love because it was so peaceful in Luigi's garden where there are ducks, doves, peacocks and parrots, a beautiful waterfall, it's amazing the place we chose is under a tree called 'The Never Die' tree, it's perfect and I know your ashes will rest in peace here. God bless you always my darling, I miss you every minute of every day, my love always xxx

February 27, 2016

Hi dad wanted to say how much I miss you. Each day goes by and I wish I could tell you so much. I talk to you all the time especially in the car asking you to clear the traffic on the A2 and it always works you do me proud and I get to work safe! I love you so much dad I can't believe it's nearly a year that I heard your voice felt your hugs and held your hand. You are so special. Somebody sent me a photo of your first Lorry and I have such great memories of driving in it with you chatting the entire journey about all and everything! God bless darling dad my angel x x x

February 2, 2016

Hello my lovely JC, it's now close to our Gambia trip and although you are not with me physically, I know you will be right beside me Spiritually. How I will cope with being back in the beautiful place we both love so much without you but still carrying on with our plans, I just don't know, but I will be strong because I am taking some of your ashes to remain in the place you loved. My darling, life is just existence but somehow I get through each day as it comes. I keep you forever in my heart, God bless my lovely man, I love you with my heart and Soul, Your Sinny xxx

January 4, 2016

Hello my darling, tomorrow I will return home after spending Christmas with our beautiful daughters and son-in-laws. The journey home will not be happy and enjoyable without our chats and laughter and making plans but I know you will be with me guiding and keeping me safe, even when I make a wrong turn, you manage to give me the thoughts how to get through, usually ringing Elizabeth to make sure lol. Anyway my lovely JC, missing you so much words cannot begin to say how I get through, lots of love always xxx

January 2, 2016

My darling Johnny, Christmas and New Year have now passed, another 'first' for us all. Life is not life anymore just an existence but some way shape or form, we get through each day as it comes. You are in my heart and my every thought, I love and miss you more than words can ever say. God Bless you my darling, love always xxx

December 28, 2015

Dad Christmas just was not the same without you. I missed you so much as did we all the day went by with many tears and I did not want to celebrate as we always have. As long as mum was ok and I looked after her for you that was all that mattered to me. Life is very hard and no Christmas will ever be the same. I hope you had a few drinks with nan and grandad and I know you were looking down on us and saw you balloons go up in the sky sent with so much love. Thank you for singing to me on Christmas I got the song and tears flowed of happy times we shared with that song. Love you so much dad my special man always lots of love always from your Elizabeth X

December 12, 2015

Hi Dad just wanted to say I miss you so much wish you were here. Love you darling my special man forever. I know you hate tattoos but I had just one special one for you that's all I have one and it takes pride of place on my arm so I can look at it every day and smile. Love you Dad R.I.P mwuhhh X

December 9, 2015

9 years since your passing and it feels like only a short time since you have been gone. I do not know how that time has flown. We do, and always will remember you fondly for all the reasons that made you - you. You are sadly missed by your family and by us - friends that you made along the way. If only we could see you again and chat for a while...one day, we will all meet again, another time, another place. Keep busy in the meantime, as we know you would not want to be resting too much! Love, always, Michelle, David and family xxx

Johnny

April 28, 2015

Johnny loved his family unconditionally and exstended this to his daughters many friends. He was caring, gentle, strong and fun to be with. Recently found his love for The Gambia and especially the Jofi School where he has sponsored a little girl. It was his intensions to return to do some more work with the school and had already booked to go out there again next February but sadly his sudden passing has changed this so I will do my very best to do it for him. His tributes from the many shows how well liked and loved he was, it just brims my pride of him to overflowing. God Bless you my J.C. I miss you more than words can ever say, Love Always Sinny xxx
