My dearest dad, Charles McCann, passed away at the age of 73. He had been ill for a number of years
with various heart problems. In July 1992, he had another heart attack and the doctors warned us
that another heart attack would kill him, as his heart was so badly damaged.
It was a Thursday night. He said good night to mum and then me and made some usual grumble about the
mess in my bedroom! He went to bed and never awoke.
We found him in bed on the Friday morning. He looked so peaceful. Looking back it was such a
blessing the way that he died but at the time it was the most agonizing time I had ever been through
and my world had just crumbled. My dad was my world and meant everything to me.
Now fifteen years on, I'm a mum of three and married. I miss my dad still so much, but time has
healed like people said it would. Thank you dad for being you. I hope I'm still making you
proud, I'm sure I'm still annoying the hell out of you still !!! Rest in peace always.
Your ever loving daughter, Tracey. xxx

I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God has laid you see.
I took his hand when I heard His call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
O yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

Always in my thoughts
Forever in my heart

Your anniversary

Hi dad. Well the anniversary of your death has been and gone. 24th July. It has been 16 years but I can remember that heartbreaking morning when we found you as though it was yesterday. I was in Cornwall on holiday when it was your anniversary on the 24th July so this has been the first time I've had chance to get onto your site. I miss you so much dad. Time does heal and some memories do become hard to remember but I will never forget the love you had for me or the things you would do for me. You were the best dad ever. Miss you so much and love you loads. God bless you dad. xxx

Sleep sweet angel, for all is quiet now,
Let my kiss rest upon your innocent brow,
Your sweet smile lives in the warm summer sun.
Thoughts of you are comfort, when the day is done,
The magic of your goodness dances in the autumn leaves.
Your melody sings in the wind that, echoes through the trees.
sleep my precious angel, forever you will shine
the pure light of Love within this heart of mine.
May the Lord hold you close and comfort you along this journey of grief. My heart goes out to you for all you have suffered. ยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยทยท:*:ยทยท:*:ยทยท: *:ยท ยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยทยท:*:ยทยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยทยท:*:ยทยท:*:ยทยท: *:ยท ยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยทยท:*:ยทยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยทยท:*:ยทยท:*:ยทยท: *:ยท ยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยทยท:*:ยทยท:*:ยท God Bless Mac Love Anne xxยท:*:ยท ยท:*:ยท

Do you know you have a helper
walking by your side?
Do you sense a gentle prescence
from which you cannot hide?
This helper is your angel
who was chosen at your birth
To guide and comfort you
whilst you live your life on earth
So talk to your angel
the best friend you'll ever see
And you shall feel such happiness
as from troubles you break free
They walk beside you always
as you face each day anew
And are there throughout your life
to guide and comfort you.God Bless Mac xxx

You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again
God Bless Mac xx

GOOD NIGHT GOD BLESS SWEET ANGEL
A little prayer, a little tear,
A silent wish that you were here,
Tears in my eyes i can wipe away,
But the ache in my heart will always stay
love to you and your family god bless

MY DAD LOVE TRACEY

If I could write a story
It would be the greatest ever told
Of a kind and loving father
Who had a heart of gold

If could write a million pages
But still be unable to say, just how
Much I love and miss him
Every single day

I will remember all he taught me
I'm hurt but won't be sad
โ€˜cos he'll send me down the answers
And he'll always be MY DAD xx
