John JosephBRUDERBRUDER - JOHN JOSEPH, October 21, 2020. Peacefully in hospital aged 80 years. My loving husband John. 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. Rest peacefully now. Your loving wife Lily xx Our hearts have been left broken No time to say goodbye. You were taken far too soon, and only God knows why. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. Goodnight dad, God Bless grandad. Love Angela, Gary & Isla xxx Our dear dad and grandad. God saw the road was getting tough, and the hills were hard to climb. He closed your weary eyelids and whispered "Peace be thine" It broke our hearts to lose you - but you didn't go alone, for part of us went with you - the day God called you home. Sleep peacefully.
