This memorial is dedicated to our dad John Mannion who sadly passed away on 4th August 2009 aged 60 years after a long illness. Dad you were so brave we are really proud of how strong you were, even though you were in so much pain and discomfort you always had a smile on your face and that lovely smile will stay with us forever. No more pain and suffering, say hello to nana for us i know you's will be looking down on us. Rest in peace forever in our hearts your heartbroken daughters Leanne and Samantha xxxxxxx

Dad...so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.

What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.

What happened to all those times
when I always looked to you;
No matter what happened in my life
you could make my gray skies blue.

Dad, some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
Yet in my turning...it seems
the sound has been erased.

Dad, who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
Who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.

Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the dads
you would still be my choice.

Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
Years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.

Today, Jesus, as You are listening
in your home above;
Would you go and find my dad
and give him all my love.

Your Loving Daughter
Leanne


If you stop by could you please light a candle in memory of our dad, it will be greatly appreciated thanks xxxxxxx

FOR MY FAMILY

Try To Imagine........
★★ ★★ ★ ★★ ★★ ★

Try to imagine what its like
When i see you all below
I miss you all so much
This you surely know
★★ ★★ ★★ ★★ ★★ ★

Try to imagine my pain
When i see those tears you cry
If only you knew the beauty
Of my home up in the sky
★★ ★★ ★★ ★★ ★★ ★

Try to imagine the day
When we will all be together
God calls us all back
And we will be apart not ever.

Written By Jayne Roddy.
All my love Leanne, and thanks for every thing you do xxx

~~ The Hand Of God ~~

I felt the hand of god today
it touched my broken heart
it didn't mend it never will
but at least it was a start

He did his best to comfort me
and help me understand
the reason why he took you
into the promised land

The angels must have sung with joy
with arms outstretched with love
and welcome you into the home
they share with god in heaven above

His promise to the kind and good
is joy beyond compare
those things you were abundantly
and of joy you take your share

Try as we might it's hard to grasp
you are no longer here
for all we long for everyday
is to have and hold you near

Our days are filled with longing
to see your smiling face
to enjoy once more the happy times
and share a warm embrace

Instead we struggle on and on
the pain it will not go
with only memories to keep us sane
oh how we miss you so

It's hard to go on living
we are so tired and lonely
each day all we can think is
'why? and oh, if only'

But these are things we cannot change
as much as we might try
and so we go on thinking
'oh, if only and oh why?

Love & BIG (((HUGS))) ~~ Christine...x♥x

♥ღ♥ Right now I'm in a different place
And though we seem apart
I'm closer than I ever was
... I'm there inside your heart

I'm with you when you greet each day
And while the sun shines bright
I'm there to share the sunsets, too
... I'm with you every night

I'm with you when the times are good
To share a laugh or two,
And if a tear should start to fall
... I'll still be there for you

And when that day arrives
That we no longer are apart,
I'll smile and hold you close to me
... Forever in my heart ♥ღ♥

The Lovliest of Memories

The lovliest of memories
Will never fade away.
Though years may come and go,
The joy they brought will stay.

Golden days of childhood;
Running free in fields of flowers,
So happy in our innocence
When all the world was ours.

Special times once shared
With loved ones long since gone,
We hold them in our hearts,
Their memories living on.

The lovliest of memories
Mean more than words can say,
For when we feel downcast
They will chase all cares away

For My Family x x x

I see tears fall down your face♥
When your thoughts have turned to me♥
Just know that I’m in heaven♥
With my Lord, who’s set me free♥
No pain or sadness do I feel♥
For God is by my side♥
The beauty here in Heaven♥
Is now where I reside♥
I know it’s hard for you to cope♥
For you can’t feel my touch♥
But every moment, I can see♥
And love you very much♥
When you are at your lowest♥
And feel you can’t go on♥
Look towards the heavens♥
The light will be turned on♥
Talk to me, just like you did♥
On earth when I was there♥
You see, I’m not so far away ♥
Only as far as a prayer♥
And when it’s time for you to join♥
Me up in Heaven above
It’s then that you will realize♥
The Golden Place of love♥
For here there is no sadness♥
Just everlasting light♥
Someday we will be joined again♥
When it’s time to take your flight♥

ALWAYS.

Always in our hearts
Always in our minds
Always by our sides
Until the end of time

Always see your smile
Always hear you laugh
Always there to guide us
Along lifes lonely path

Always we remember
Always we will pray
Always we will see you
Each and every day

Always is a long time
Always is forever
Always lasts a lifetime
That means forget you never

Always we are waiting
Always feel the pain
Always we are grieving
Until we meet again
