His Life

12th January His funeral.

February 8, 2015

Its the 12th January 2015, and I woke up about 3am to have my long journey from Stevenage to Manchester, it was an extremely long journey. We arrived to my nan's flat and my uncle Steve was there we sat with them for about an hour before we had left to check into the B&B, so we did. We got ready for the ceremony, we went back to my nan's house and a lot of my family had turned up it was great to see them all again it felt like the old times where everyone had got on. So anyhow everyone turned up to my nan's and it was just a long waiting game for the Hurst to come, the Hurst finally arrived on time even though it felt like hours and hours. Most of the family members went outside. Myself,nan,mum,sister,uncle and aunt waited upstairs, I went downstairs with the flowers and just stood there staring at his coffin, I handed over the flowers, and the people going in the family car was me, my nan , my aunty, my uncle, my mum and my cousin. It was horrible watching the coffin driving in front of us. We had finally arrived to the crematorium we were a little early. When we pulled up everyone was stood up in a line which was amazing. The vicar came to me and shook my hand and told me these exact words " Don't look up, just think that they're just words" and smiled so softly. Okay so we started to enter the crematorium and my grandads coffin was going down to the song 'Wind beneath my wings' by Bette middler. The vicar started the ceremony off with a welcome, followed by a prayer. Then it was time to ready my poem out and I read it all until the last two lines which read "I love and miss you grandad, I hope I'll make you proud someday" I broke down, then towards the end of the cereomony I couldn't take my eyes off his coffin.


I am happy to say that my grandad is no longer in pain and is resting eternally


The passing of my devoted grandad.

February 8, 2015

Okay, so the day I found out about my grandad Leonard, was the 19th December 2014, I remember it was about half 6 in the evening I was laying on the sofa watching family guy. The next minute, I looked up and my mum (Jackie) was crying hysterically and I remember I heard the sentence "let me know when the funeral will be okay I love you bye." And I automatically knew it was about my grandad because he had been unwell for quite some time. I cried into my mums chest screaming why he'd left so soon, I had to get out the house so I met my friend, again I cried in her arms. The day I had found out about my grandads passing was the worst day of my life.
