Alfie was the eldest boy of 5 children, Marie, Alfie, Albert, Cyril & Veronica he sadly drowned at
the age of 13 in pitts close to his house this was of course deverstating to his family but the fact
that his 6 year old sister was with him and watched him disappear then had to run home and raise the
alarm was even worse. My nan always tells of stories of how he loved the water and would even get in
the bath with all his clothes on, the saddest thing about it all was the fact no body had realised
that when they planned the funeral the date was his mums birthday, they only remembered on the way
to the cemetry and right up until the year before she died she never put her cards up till the day
after, she said that he was such a loving boy which is why she never got to keep him that long.

Good Bye
I know my time has ended,
Its time for me to leave.
I want you all to know,
You mean so much to me.
Why I had to go,
Was a mystery to me.
All I heard was God,
Saying “ Please come home to me.”
So I left my friends and family,
I didn’t say goodbye.
All I got to see,
Were the tears in their eyes.
But as I saw them crying,
I asked them not to grieve.
Knowing how much we care,
That our love will never cease.
You can look up at the sky,
And look over to the sea.
When you feel that gentle breeze,
You always think of me.
And when your time comes,
To join me up above.
We will be reunited,
And still, we will have our love.

A rose once grew
where all could see,
sheltered beside
a garden wall,
And as the days passed
swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall...

One day, a beam of light
shone through
a crevice that had
opened wide ~
The rose bent gently
toward its warmth
then passed beyond
to the other side

Now, you who deeply
feel its loss,
be comforted ~ the rose blooms there ~
its beauty even greater now,
nurtured by
God's own loving care.
