Friend of Ti jeff leon jeff harvey and lots more friends who all miss Craig with the same devistation We are all absolutely devistated , we miss him so very very much, and life cant ever be the same without him, part of our hearts went with him the day Craig died.
Craig had a motorbike accident and passed away at the scene, Craig loved his bike kawasaki ninja( always called his bike susie)
Craig was a lad in a million ,Craig had a heart of gold Craig would do anything for anyone, always with a willing heart thats the kind of son he was , craig loved the beatles especially John Lennon he played their songs on his guitar, Craig joined the army when he was 17 he loved life in the army , but he broke a few bones in his foot when they were on exercise , so had to leave the army ,which upset him greatly. Craig loved world wildlife , Craig enjoyed going to the gym, and loved walking in the lake district, and also loved jogging and he loved Wigan Athletic football and Wigan Warriors Superleague. Craig loved going out for rides in the country on his bike and southport was a favorite meeting place with other bikers. Craig was a great cook , an absolute super lad I`m so proud of my son.

When our loved ones have been taken

We let the Lord above know this
Through our Prayers he hears our Voice

Tributes For Week Commencing 30th January 2012

___()''""() ____*_Hugs_____*♥*
__("( 'o', )_*♥*__Hugs___ *♥.*
__(")(")(,,)___*_Hugs___ *♥*


FOR MONDAY

Our thoughts are ever with you
Though you have passed away.
And those who loved you dearly
Are thinking of you today.



FOR TUESDAY

Everyday in some small way
Memories of you come our way.
Though absent, you are always near
Still missed, loved and always dear.



FOR WEDNESDAY

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God can tell us why.



FOR THURSDAY

We can't have old days back
When we were all together.
But secret tears and loving thoughts
Will be with us forever.




FOR FRIDAY

Love Lives On
Those we love
Are never really lost to us –

We feel them
In so many special ways-

Through friends
They always cared about

And dreams they left behind,
In beauty that they added to our days...

In words of wisdom we still carry with us
And memories that never will be gone...

Those we love are never really lost to us -
For everywhere their special love lives on.



FOR SATURDAY

If Roses Grow in Heaven

If roses grow in Heaven Lord
Please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my loved ones arms
and tell them they're from me.

Tell them I love and miss them,
And when they turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon their cheeks
And hold them for a while.

Because remembering them is easy,
I do it everyday,
But there is an ache within my heart
That will never go away.




FOR SUNDAY

Still With Us

Do not stand by my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am a diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft star shine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there...I DID NOT DIE.

If I Could Have a Lifetime Wish

If I could have a lifetime wish,
A dream that would come true,
I'd pray to God with all my heart for
Yesterday and You.



(\ ●♥● /)
( \(_)/ )
(_ /|\ _)
../___\..



A thousand words can't bring you back;
I know because I've tried.
And neither can a million tears;
I know because I've cried.



(\ ●♥● /)

You left behind my broke heart
and happy memories too.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

As an ancient legend goes;

If anyone desires a wish to come true,
they must capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it.

Since butterflies make no sound,
They can’t tell that wish to anyone but the Great Spirit.

So by making the wish and releasing the butterfly,
It will be taken to the heavens and be granted.

Although this legend implies that we should keep our wishes silent,
there are some wishes that need to be expressed out loud.

To those that have been touched by the disease we are helping to fight today,

We wish the caregivers strength and tranquility,
and thank them for their gifted labor of love.

We wish the survivors a long and happy life,
and thank them for showing us how to fight with courage and determination.

We wish those currently fighting the battle energy and hope,
and thank them for showing us what true bravery is all about.

And finally, we wish the victims peace and love,
and thank them for the joy and happiness they brought to us.

With this symbolic gesture, we honor those that have left us and encourage
those left behind to continue the fight “On the Wings of Hope”.

Happy little memories
go flitting through my mind
and in my thoughts and memories
I always seem to find
the picture of your face
the memory of your touch
and all the little things
I came to love so much
you cannot go beyond my thoughts
or leave my love behind
because I keep you in my heart
and forever on my mind

If you meet a fairy,
Don’t run away,
She won’t want to hurt you,
She only wants to play.



Show her round the garden,
Around the house too,
She’d love to see the kitchen,
I know they always do.



Find her a tiny present,
To give her when she goes,
They love silver paper,
And pretty ribbon bows.



I knew a little girl once,
Who saw twenty three,
Playing in the orchard,
As jolly as could be.



They ask her to dance with them,
To make it twenty four,
But she ran up to the nursery,
And hid behind the door.



Hid behind the nursery door!
What a thing to do,
She grew up very solemn,
And rather ugly too.



Now, if you meet a fairy,
Remember what I say,
Talk to her nicely,
And don’t run away.
