you, in losing you, I lost myself. Time passes but not one day goes by that you are not here in my heart, the day you died was not just a date on a calendar it was the day my very existence

changed forever. Time doesn't heal anything it just teaches us how to live with the pain, to carry it with you. There is no closure, closure is a myth a word thrown around that gives

you a false sense of at some point the pain will cease, you will come to terms with the loss, exactly its a myth! I will never recover from your loss, I will never stop grieving for you, I

will never stop missing you. Until we meet again my wonderful, brave, unselfish, humorous Dad. From a very proud miners daughter All my love Jacqueline Also not forgetting a much loved

Grandad of Cassie & Vito. (Longbenton) In memory of Norah who passed away a year ago. A year may have passed but the feeling of losing you does not ease. A dearly loved wife, mum,

deserves happiness and peace. Until we meet again, with eternal love Ray, Shaun, Zuwena and all the Family. A year ago today May 17th 2024, my beloved partner Joan Graham was sadly taken

away from me. She was loved unconditionally by her partner Tony, Dawn & Gail. You will never be forgotten and always in our thoughts. (Wharrier) In loving memory of my dearly loved wife

you left, You took a piece of me with you. Life hasn't been the same since, But I carry you with me every single day- In the quiet, in the chaos, In the love I still have for you.

Sometimes I talk to you when no one's around. Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I smile, remembering something silly you used to say or do. You brought so much light into my life. I miss you.

God, I miss you. I'd give anything to hold you just one more time. And I know your Mam, Nadine, Sarah, and Paul feel the same. As you watch over them, I know you know this. My mind

knows you're in a better place- Where there's no pain, and you are at peace. I understand that. I just wish I could explain it to my heart. I'll keep loving you, Talking to

you, Asking for your guidance- Every single day, Until the day we meet again. You are always with me. I love you, and I miss you more than anyone will ever know. Dad xx Three years without
