Vistited your grave today, was emotional watching Nina, Nyah, Isabella, Lauren and Shelley tidy the grave and place flowers and chat about you.
We are often talking about you and the memories we have, missing you so much, love you always

Hi darling.....well will soon be Father's Day again and I know our girls will be missing you, as always, but especially on this day....they would be asking what gifts you had hinted at and getting your cards, as always....they always made your day very special for you because you were very special to them as they were special to you....you were their Dad (Paps) and Granddad in the true sense...so glad you were in their lives all those years.....23 years, wouldnt change them and wish so much could have been a lot more....missing you as much today as the day you left...I love you Always Keith...even though I get through each day and life moves on, you are and will always be in my heart and soul, I will never forget you....I Love You xxxxxx R.I.P. XXXXXXXX
sitting here remembering, as i often do, when we used to talk about the fact that one day Kevin would live with us full time, you telling me how that would not be a problem and very accepting of the fact, welcoming Kevin to stop with us and often taking him out and asking him out with us or even just with you...Kevin came to love and like you, although took awhile, but that was Kevin...he mentions you, talks about you, and asks after you every day and most times more than ones....i remember the last day we talked and you having banter with Kevin, ....i just want to say Thank You for every thing you did for him and to help me, and also Dad and the girls...being a good dad and granddad...you are sadly missed loads and always will be, nobody will take your place and our memories will never fade until i leave this world...i will love you always....anyway Kevin did come to live here, a year now, sadly with me alone, wish was different, would be wonderful...my life as moved on , although this is happening..it is still difficult and you are never from my mind..the pain and ache is still there.....to be continued...night night my lovely Man, my Keith xxxxxx
this is a toast to you my darling Keith with loads and loads of love....big hugs and kisses xxxxxxxxx
remember you taking this pic when we were on holiday with our family and you always carried it with you, my one and only drink lol, as you often said, you could give me a tenner to go out and i would come home with change, bit of a light weight
Our beautiful Nephew Harry was laid to rest and for every one, and especially his Mummy and Daddy and grandparents it was very sad and emotional. You will be proud of our Kerry, and hope her memories help her cope with this sad time, and also Chris. Look out for Harry, he was only 12 weeks, beautiful infectious smile.xxx
Hi Keith
Very sad day today, our Beautiful Great Nephew lost his fight, and believe me he was a fighter, sadly got too tired, left a big hole in our lives, and especially for Kerry, Chris and families...left lots of beautiful memories in his very short life...please look for him and make sure he is okay... he will be the little boy with the beautiful smile and smiling eyes xxx
Keith..you were a wonderful dad, granddad and partner (hubby)...also a wonderful son...I am so happy that you got to experience the role of a father and granddad..the girls thought the world of you, as I know you realised this with all the special cards and gifts and surprises and love they gave to you. Thank you for being in our lives and making it better and your thoughtfulness and for being YOU....LOVE YOU XXXXXXX
I remember our conversations about why people are different when some one is ill or worse still when they pass away...they speak differently, as we used to say "why not be that person before"...they suddenly talk like they would be in the persons life and how they miss them so very much , as though life would be different had you not past away but we know it would have been exactly as it was...also things are said that should have been said before that person has past on......the persons true colours come out and pass blame on those left behind... never mind Keith, I know you love me and knew me inside out...forever missed xxx night night x
Well Keith, Halloween was not the same without you with us...we are all missing you so much...nothing will be the same without you....missed planning the decor for the Halloween party for family (kids really)....but we all loved it..became our ritual..anyway I love you and always will, but I am sure you know that xxxxxx
I remember the day that Shelley asked if you would give her away..you was so made up and proud, nervous a little but loved every minute of the wonderful day...
Proud Father of the Bride....wonderful day....see the proud happiness on your face xxx
I watched the dvd of the wedding with our Kevin today....very emotional, especially seeing you so very happy and enjoying every second...seemed like only yesterday, Kevin kept laughing and loved seeing you and family, had to put it on twice...could not hold back the tears but so glad that I managed to watched it, missing you more than ever, I will love and miss you forever, until we meet again, sleep tight xxxxxxxxxxxxx
love this photo. Shelley, Keith, me, Lauren, Jade holding Nina
Hi my Keith.....these songs are what myself and your daughters and granddaughters helped me pick, and I think we got it just perfect for what needed to say...loving and missing you so very much....our lives have not been the same and never will.......WISHING SO MUCH YOU WERE HERE...miss the fun and the company....every thing...r.i.p. dear xxxxxxxxx
This is not a story...but just need to ask you who visit and leave a tribute or story to please do not put anything that is inapropriate, these can be deleted, so would be a waste of time, fortunately most of you have left beautiful tributes/stories and I thank you from the bottem of my heart, and for being genuine and caring about Keith and his families feelings xx

Just to tell you that I have changed my name....Howe-Mckay...I know you will be pleased because you wanted me to do this years ago by marrying you...sadly we never got married although would have been this year...but you got your wish and I changed my surname as you kept nagging me to do for years.....WISH with all my heart I had done it sooner, but through marriage....love and miss you always, R.I.P. forever loved...xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Your Granddaughters and Shelley and Paula often chat about the good times we have all shared...wish there had been many more, but you will always be in our hearts..xxxxxxxxx
The week we went away with Dad & Kevin, had a lovely holiday. Remembering the last night (friday), we snuck out on our own to the Pub and watched karioki..some brilliant singers..remember the elderly gent who came and stood nearby and every time he sang (he was really good), he always pointed to me and said the song was for me, lol, and you just laughed..had a good night ...what comes to mind when I think of your sayings...."I can give T a tenner and she will come home with change and still have a good night", not much of a drinker but still enjoyed myself...walking along the sea front into Chappel st.leonard and stopping at that wooden shack (which we usually visited when we went to Ingoldmells)...I can still see us sat there, and then walking round the shops and then walking back..was beaut....on about coming back for a week on our own...maybe taking blaze some time.....so many memories Keith...but they keep me going in this very dark time.....I know you will want me to get on with life with the girls and family/friends, but you will always be with us wherever we are..thank you for making our home so beautiful with me..you were the hardest worker I knew and never complained....love you to heaven xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I have been looking over all the special cards from me and the girls that you saved...Fathers Day, Christmas, Birthday and Valentines...fetch tears to my eyes but alot of happiness too, bless you Keith ....every card I looked at has a memory of that time for me...you became a different person to the one I met, becoming your own person, I look at all your clothes (the fashion which improved alot) lol....some you got yourself,some bought by me or girls or family...not sure what to do with them yet, be along long time before I do....I think about Halloween parties we have done for the kids....what a laugh, will miss you so much all the time, but especially on these occassions, will not be the same without you, you made the party...could do with one of your special dinners, salads, curries, beef bourg...etc., mouth watering..well done the garden again, know you will want it kept nice..talk again soon, love and missing you as always....XXXXX Also, looked at one of the vidios of us at Christmas and hols....will watch them all eventually, but makes me sad and happy at the same time, so glad iv got them though..
This was taken at the Doncaster Horse Track, group of family and friends..lovely meal..for Shelleys birthday....HAPPY DAYS XXXX
You were so very proud on this day when you gave Shelley away...and again asked me to marry you...lol.....I always felt we were..went together so well. What a great day and night it was (wont go in to details ??) , well my darling Fiance still miss you like crazy and I always will...millions and millions of wonderful memories...thank you for our time together, 23 beautiful years ...we all miss you ..you were such a big part of us and not the same without you. You were the best Grandpapa and I know how proud you were (and still are) of LAUREN, MARCIA, NINA, OLIVIA, NYAH, LAINA AND ISABELLA, as they are proud of you...they will miss seeing you and giving you your Fathers Day cards and pressies, Christmas and Halloween parties wont be the same without you...blaze missing you, but he is well cared for, but you were his buddy....bet you are laughing at me with Blaze, you will know what I mean...Shelley misses the competition to see who found the hottest cheese...you were a great dad to them both Keith and great Grandpapa to the girls, as they were good to you and made you feel special, as you often told me, but hey thats how it should be...will continue another day...love and miss you always....MY KEITH XXXXXXXXXXX
I will never forget the first time we met that New Years Eve at the Winning Post, was like a whirlwind...your cheek when you came and knocked me up in the early hours and was freezing cold...then meeting up for my birthday...although in the early days we had alot to contend with (wont go into details)..but nobody could split us up even though tried their best....remember the night coming home in the snow and I fell into deep snow and stuck to my laquered hair, all you could do was laugh...I remember so many funny times as well as serious times and we had each other to get through whatever was thrown at us. We spent alot of time just working, sometimes passing in the night or day..although we had to work to survive, I wish we could have had all those hours together instead but thats life....I love the fact that you loved and adored Shelley Paula and all the granddaughters, who as you know spent lots of time with us..you were always there for them and we feel so lost without you. My biggest regret was not getting married but it was going to happen this year, as we discussed but wasnt to be...but I always felt we were married, as you did and infact our relationship was stronger than alot of those who are married but still would have loved to have been married.....you will always be my hubby!!! I could write loads but will stop here for now....love you and hope you are happy, missing you more than words can say..there is such a deep ache inside..dont know how i get through each day but have to remember my beautiful family and wonderful friends, xxxxx i love you xxxxx MY KEITH XXXXXXXXXX
