♥♥ A YOUNG UNCLE JACKY 'TEDDY BOY'♥♥
John William Thornton better known as 'Jacky' died on Easter Sunday (23rd March 2008) 3 days before
his 74th Birthday.Jacky had been in poor health for the past couple of years and never really got
over the death of his brother Robert(my Dad).He died peacefully of heart failure at the RVI
hospital.
Jacky was married to May who sadly died 24th March 1984 who he loved and missed very much.
Jacky was born in Benwell but ended his years living in Newbiggin Hall.
He was the eldest of a family of 7, they were Robert(deceased), Phyllis(deceased), Peter,
Allan,Ellen and Michael. He has 2 loving children, Steven and Linda and 5 lovely grandchildren
Michael, Vicky ,Amy,Lee and Sarah.
Jacky was a larger than life character who was always laughing and joking.His favourite pastime was
going to the club, he also enjoyed reading and listening to music,Simon & Garfunkel being one of his
favourites.He would play it at full blast,his daughter Linda having to tell him to turn it down.( A
bit of parent, kid reversal!).
He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Rest in peace Uncle Jacky xxxxxxxxx
Music: Simon & Garfunkel,Bridge over troubled water, played at Jacky's funeral.

Dear Lord,
Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:
God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm and safe from harm
For they're so close to me.
And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don't mind me asking,
Please bless my computer too.
Now I know that it's unusual
To Bless a motherboad
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.
You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends
I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.
By faith is how I know them
much the same as you.
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.
Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love.
Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits 'send'.
When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who hear's this prayer
Sent up to GOD.com.

Our lives go on without you
But nothing is the same,
We have to hide our heartaches
When someone speaks your name.
Sad are the hearts that love you
Silent the tears that fall,
Living our hearts without you
Is the hardest part of all.
You did so many things for us
Your heart was kind and true,
And when we needed someone
We could always count on you.
The special years will not return
When we were all together,
But with the love within our hearts
You will walk with us forever.

Another day without you...
I felt the cold that morning
I knew you had to go
The angel snowflakes laid on the ground
I saw the teardrops in the snow
Oh many days have passed now
And still my days are cold
I long to have you with me
A precious love I need to hold
For all the times i prayed at night
Not one of my prayers came true
I want to open my eyes one day
And standing there is you
Somethings in life are impossible
And your presence is one of those
As each day passes I'm yearning more
And my wanting for you just grows
So I'll carry on sending messages
Hoping you can hear my cry
I never wanted to hear that word
On the day you had to say 'Goodbye'

Love & Thoughts
Way up in the clouds high above
Are beautiful angels full of love
They think of their loved ones everyday
And send them peace as they kneel to pray
They say a prayer for those below
Who deeply love them and miss them so
They vanish all their emptiness and all their fears
Mop their brows when they see the tears
Although their is a distance they are by our side
They have seen the emptiness and the tears cried
They are always near and always will be
Alive in our hearts today and for eternity

Although you are a friend of mine
and Candles we exchange,
I wouldn't know you on the street,
and doesn't that seem strange?
You hold a place within my life,
unusual and unique;
We share ideals and special dreams,
and still, we do not speak.
I picture what I think you are,
perhaps you picture me.
An intriguing game for both of us
for someone we can't see.
So for this friendship we possess,
we owe this mail a debt,
Perhaps the charm lies in the fact
that we have never met.

Friendship Rose
☆ ¸.•*(¸.•*´ ☆ `*•.¸)`*•.¸☆
Just like a rose,
so precious and rare,
is the forever friendship
the two of us share.
Planted with kindness,
it's warmed by the sun
of caring and sharing,
laughter and fun.
It's grounded in trust
and nurtured by love,
with a sprinkling of grace
from God up above.
Tears of sadness and joy,
like dew,
renew this friendship
I share with you.
And in the heart's garden,
we find the room
to be ourselves,
to grow and bloom.
A blessing of beauty unsurpassed,
our friendship's a flower
that will always last.

For you Linda for your Dad xxxxx
DAD
How do I put on paper,
The feeling I have inside,
The heartache and the emptiness,
When the Dad I loved has died.
Time has not healed my heartache,
Or dimmed my silent tear,
Nor will it dim the memory,
Of a Dad I loved so dear.
I think of you in silence,
I talk about you too,
Nothing can replace you,
Nothing ever will.
Thinking of you Linda and all Jackys loved ones love from Angela xxxxxx
Memory Lane
°·.♥.·°.°·. ♥.·°.°·.♥.·°.. ♥°·.♥.·°.°
There is a place in every heart,
They call it Memory Lane,
Where thoughts of loved ones lost
Forever will remain.
God made this special place
When He first created man,
For He knew it would be needed,
As part of our life's plan.
He knew when loved ones left us,
We'd need some time to heal,
To come to terms with sorrow
And the loneliness we'd feel.
So when you lose a loved one
And your life is filled with pain,
The comfort of their presence
Will be found in Memory Lane.
