Tel: 761 6214 God looked around his garden and found an empty place; He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, so he closed your weary eyelids and whispered, 'Peace Be Thine'. It broke my heart to lose you but you didn't go alone, for part of me went with you the day God called you home. Your loving wife, Olive xx ****** Dad our Angel. Your battle is now over, no more tears flowing down your cheek, no more pain, no more suffering, now you are no longer weak. We still do not understand why this has happened to you, but we are proud to say you are our dad, the greatest man we ever knew. You were always there for us and never made us cry, until the day you closed your eyes and had to say goodbye. Now you're our Angel, so spread your wings out wide, please wrap them around us whenever you see us cry. Our time together was memorable and God took you way too fast, but the most precious thing to us was you being there for our first breath, and us being there for your last. Rest in peace and love always, your children. Annette, Lindsay and Christopher and stepsons Robbie and Martin. ****** Darkness falls, your duty done. The work is over, the task is finished but our last refrain touched with pain. Happy that we met sorry we part, happy to meet again, Oh happy brother when we meet again. Brother in Law Jesse, nephew Gerald and family (Isle of Wight) Debbie and Tim (London). ****** Goodnight God bless Rod. Now at peace. Love Karen and family. ****** Rest in peace Rod, your suffering is over. Ann and family ****** Remembering our dear friend Rod who will be sadly missed. Laurie and Joan x ****** Precious memories, rest in peace Rodney. From Lilian.
