My dad was born on the 05/09/1933
His parents were called Amos Bradford and Lillian Bradford
He had 3 brothers and three sisters
Jim, Clal, Barry, Dot, Pauline and Jenifer and lived on Park Estate, South Kirkby. He met and
married my mam on the 24th of December 1953. They had two children Colin and me Linda. Before he
passed away in 1998 he had six grandchildren Wayne, Mark, Darrell, Jamie, John and Kayleigh. And in
the next 6 years four great grand children Jake, Robbie, Lewis and Olivia.

On that fateful day 26/09/1998 in the Grand Hotel Scarborough my dad collapsed and never woke again.
He had took two of my children Jamie and Kayleigh on Holiday for two weeks to Primrose Valley
during the school holidays. They had all gone to the Grand Hotel so my mam and dad could do their
line dancing. They were all having fun and dad went to sit down for a breather. My son was on a slot
machine and my daughter saw her grandad go with a bang they all rushed to his aid someone tried to
resusitate him but to no avail. The ambulance finally arrived but they werent in a rush so they knew
he was already gone. My mam went with my dad to the hospital. And Jamie and Kayleigh followed in a
taxi.

I was at a friends so my husband got the horrific phone call. Only two minutes before he had been
talking to my middle son on the phone telling him everything was ok. My middle son Darrell couldnt
go to the funeral so he sent a poem to be read by his older brother Wayne. There was not a dry eye
in the church. The poem was beautiful.

It has now been 8 years since he passed away and I am still not over it. I love my dad very much and
still think of him daily. On his headstone it says best of friends. And he truly was my best friend.
In 2006 my mum was brutally murdered and raped in tunisia. And my only solice is that they have been
reunited. When they were alive they went everywhere together. They loved to holiday abroad in
Tunisia for 2 months at a time.My mum also has a memorial site on gonetoosoon under the name Violet
Bradford

My dad was a strong man who loved his family and would do anything for them or anyone else cone to
think of it. My dad was my rock and then when he was gone a part of me went with him. He will always
be in my heart.

Right now I'm in a different place
And although 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
And if a tear should start to fall
I'll still be there for you
And when the day arrives
That we are no longer apart
I'll smile and hold you close to me
Forever in my heart

Sorry ive not been on for a while but due to PC playing up and other probs not been possible.
My Love to you and your loving family xxxxx

If an angel is someone who's so filled with love,
it's a gift that they constantly share,

If an angel is someone who looks out for others

and gives them a nudge here and there,

If an angel is someone who touches your life

with a heart that's both joyful and wise,

Then even though you don't have halo or wings,

you're an angel in human disguise.

In your home there are photo's
of a face more precious than gold
and to those who love and lost you
your memory will never grow old

Everyday they look at your photo's
at your face so loving and true
no wonder their heart is breaking
losing someone as precious as you

But each day you walk beside them
and when their life is through
I pray that god will take their hand
and lead them straight to you

God Bless Sweet Angel xxxxxxxx
