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.

A Letter From Heaven
To those we love,
Since we parted, you have been sharing so much of us with those around you. The memories are so fresh and real. You hold on to us so tightly in your hearts - where we shall always be.
Your concern has always been for us, but we wonder how you are doing. You will never know all of the prayers that have been prayed for you, the tears that have been shed over your grief and the concern that has been shown for you in a multitude of ways, but we find it so comforting to know you haven't been left alone.
Please know that we are not alone, either. The death that hurt you the most has given me the gift of eternal life. God's promises have been fulfilled in us. When we left you, God was there, waiting, just as He promised. We're surrounded by perfect love. Never let anyone tell you God doesn't exist. If you need to be mad at Him for awhile, that's okay; He can handle it. But never let hate, anger or bitterness fuel you emotions. Talk to Him and let him talk to you. Listen for Him in the voices of the people who love and care about you, and let His Word reassure you that we are doing just fine.
It is comforting to know that you hold us so close while struggling with the prospect of letting us go. You need to know that we will always be together. Eternity is not 'out there,' eternity is now! We have simply moved a little farther ahead of you.
Remember that God never wastes anything - especially love. The love that we shared on earth will be even greater in Heaven. For now, you must rest assured that we are safe in God's perfect love. We would like you to take some of the love you have for us and share it with those around you. You can never run out of love - the more you give away, the more you will have. And let others love you . you are worth loving.
Life is forever. Ours has changed in the twinkling of an eye while yours is changing day-by-day and minute-by-minute. Though your lives will never be the same, that does not mean that they cannot be filled with peace, joy and love. Always look to the future. Don't be afraid of tomorrow - God's already there. Be patient with yourselves. You will make some mistakes, and you will even find yourselves not thinking about 'us' from time to time. That's all right too. All of our needs are being met; you need to take care of you. Hold onto one another, help each other, give hope and love to all you meet.
Above all, be prepared to welcome others into your world of grief and mourning. You are being taught valuable lessons that will need to be passed along. Some will not have your strength, many will not have your faith, and most will feel they are all alone; but all will need the love and understanding only you will be able to give. Now, your pain is the only credential you need to minister to others. When you think of us, never think of us as being alone. Think of us smiling, laughing and enjoying all that god has prepared for us.
Finally, never believe you are alone. Do not focus on what you have lost, but look always at what you have left. You are surrounded by people who love you and care about you. Live with them, love with them, share with them and laugh with them. Make every day a celebration of life - a life that will never end. We will meet again, and until we do, know that we are very proud of you for never giving up.
We love you!
Your Loved Ones In Heaven

Remember the good times
Dont ever feel sad
Remember the pleasure
And love that i had
Remember the laughter
And all that we shared
Remember with pride
For i know that you cared
And blame yourselves not
For what i did not see
My life had everything
You gave much to me
With love in our hearts
The memories will stay
Remember I'm only
A whisper away............
xxxxLove to you Linda xxxx
Think of me and know Iam with you,
Think of me and smile.
Think of me and know that our parting
Is only for a while.
On the days that you feel desperate
To see my smiling face,
Just believe in your heart Iam with you
And that i'm in a beautiful place.
So think of me and remember,
All the memories in your heart,
And believe and know that this is true,
We are never really apart.

I looked towards the clouds today
And for a moment saw your face.
I wondered just where you have gone
With hope it's a better place.
Did you show yourself to me today,
To tell me you're all right?
Or was it just a daydream
Playing tricks upon my sight?
We will always feel the void inside
Because you are not here.
But each new thought you send our way
Lets us know you're near.
So until our journey nears its end
And we hear the angels sing,
We'll face each new day as it comes
And live off the love you bring
