George Arthur Barrett Died 15 January 1987. Lived in East Kilbride with his darling wife Rena. They had four children Mary, Catherine, George and Linda. Our Dad passed away quickly in hospital. We were all devastated and our Mum never got over it. Things were never the same when he left. It changed us all in so many different ways. We would always talk about him with Mum and recall all the good and funny things that had happened. He was such a wonderful man and was respected by everyone. He was everyones friend. We have never got over losing him and sadly our Mum Rena died in January 2006, the one comfort we get is that finally they are together. It doesn't stop our pain of losing the two most important people in our life but it is some consolitation. We love you and Miss you every minute of every day. I hope everyday is perferct for you. Keep looking down on us and protect us. Love you always and forever. Linda XX

Dad

I canot believe how long it has been since you left us. It still feels like yesterday. I long for the days we played chess and scrabble, that was fun. I would give anything for one more cuddle from you. I love you and always will. The one thing that makes it a bit easier is knowing that you are with Mum. You two had a love that amazing. Dad you have my baby boy. Please give Leo lots of cuddles and kisses from me. Look after him i till i get there. We will meet at Rainbow Bridge. I loved you Dad as i always have. I miss you constantly. Lots of love and kisses Linda XXXXXXX

Hi Dad well it is nearly 22 years since you died, tomorrow, it still feels like yesterday. I can still remember the night i walked to the hospital in the heavy snow so that you would have have money for your papers and to be able to phone mum and i remember the joy on your face when you saw me. I have got on with my life and met the most wonderful guy, Brian, he is so loving and caring and would do anything for me. You would have approved. We are getting married in September and i know that both you and mum will be with me. This is the happiest i have ever been. It's took a long time but i finally got there. I found the right guy now i know what you meant when i always asked you how you knew mum was the one for me. I still get butterflies in my stomach when i see him. I love you and will speak to you tomorrow. My love always XXXXX

Hey dad, i thought that i would write and tell you about GEORGIE, i did tell him to tell you himself but the horror didnt anyway you would have been really proud as he went and joined the navy, he has passed all his tests and is just waiting for an admittance date, i think he was so keen to join as we used to tell him all about your time in the navy (see we did listen and take note of your stories), he is really excited and cant wait to go, anyway dad you can probably see all this from up above and i know that you are proud as anything, so dad you just keep on doing what you do best by watching over us all though it would have been better you actually being here but it wasnt meant to be just know that i would have rather had you for the short time that we did than have a lifetime with anyone else still missing you and love you loads see you in my dreams x x x x

Dad you left such a void in our lives. We were never the same since you left. Everything and everyone changed. Mary thinks she let you down but i know as you do that she gave you some of the most proudest moments of your life. Like when she joined the RAF you were so proud when you saw her in her uniform. You cried Dad. Then when she fell pregnant with her first child and your first grandchild. When she had the babay, LISA, she phoned you when she came round fron the anaesthetic and you cried like i had never seen you do before. And i'v got to say i never saw you cry that way again. Dad i love you with every part of me and i can't wait till i see you again and hear those words : Bloody ' Child: I hope you are always with me DAd. I love you XXX

When you feel a gentle breeze
Caress you when you sigh
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From a loved one way up high.

If a soft and tender raindrop
Lands upon your nose
They've added a small kiss
As fragile as a rose.

If a song you hear fills you
With a feeling of sweet love
It's a hug sent from Heaven
From someone special up above.

If you awaken in the morning
To a bluebird's chirping song
It's music sent from Heaven
To cheer you all day long.

If tiny little snowflakes
Land upon your face
It's a hug sent from Heaven
Trimmed with Angel lace.

So keep the joy in your heart
If you're lonely my dear friend
Hugs that are sent from Heaven
A broken heart will mend.
Hugs are so special
Keep them coming my friend.
