I want to thank you for the candles,tributes pictures done for Darren it is very much appreciated,love to you and your angels,all my love Carla xxx
DARREN CARL BALMFORTH aka BARNEY xxxxxxxxx BRAVE TIL THE END. xxxxxxxxxxx Darren was sadly taken away from us on the 18th october 2008 after a short battle with cancer he passed away peacefully surrounded by family at st.gemmas hospice.Darren was diagnosed with cancer in April 2008 after going to casualty,which was a big shock as he was a healthy young man. We married in the H.D.U in St James hospital in April as he was ill and the doctors told us if Darren went into Cardiac arrest,they wouldn't be able to revive him.Darren had a course of chemotherapy to prolong his life,but sadly he lost his brave fight for life after just six months. Darren loved playing computer games and listening to music especially Oasis and Ian brown.He was a fan of The Sopranos .Darren played golf with our son . Darren was a big Leeds United fan ,he went to matches with our son when he could.We always said we would grow old together,but sadly how wrong we were,in time we will be together again.Darren and I got together 12 years ago after disasterous relationships,i had given up,but then i met Darren and its true there is your perfect soulmate out there and I had found it in Darren,we were constantly by each others side,only twice when i went abroad with the kids and Darren wouldn,t get on a plane,I jokingly called him Mr T (I aint getting on no plane)lol,but both times i was away all i could do was miss him, i wasn,t homesick,i was Darren sick.Darren was the funniest person i have ever met,he had me in stitches all the time.I have never met a better person than Darren,he was genuinely a nice person which nobody could ever say a bad word about him.I can,t believe Darren has been taken away from me,my heart is ripped to pieces.I want to thank you for coming into my life,which should of been forever,but what time we had together is precious and full of happy memories and thankyou for taking the kids as your own you'll always be daddy to them. I love you Darren with all my heart,always have and always will.Until we are together again,you'll never be off my mind.Love your wife Carla xxxxxxxx
DARREN BALMFORTH My darling Darren,
Since youβve gone first and I remain,
To walk the road alone,
I live in memoryβs garden, Dear,
With happy days weβve known.
Since youβve gone first and I remain,
One thing Iβd have you do,
Walk slowly down the path of death,
For soon Iβll follow you.
I want to know each step you take,
That I may know the same,
For some day, down that lonely, road,
Youβll hear me call your name.
Your loving wife, Carla

ββ‘β The Wings That Fly Us Home ββ‘β
There are many ways of being in this circle we call life
A wise man seeks an answer, burns his candle through the night
Is a jewel just a pebble that found a way to shine
Is a hero’s blood more righteous than a hobo’s sip of wine
β
Did I speak to you one morning on some distant world away
Did you save me from an arrow, did you lay me in a grave
Were we brothers on a journey, did you teach me how to run
Were we broken by the waters, did I lie you in the sun
β
I dreamed you were a prophet in a meadow
I dreamed I was a mountain in the wind
I dreamed you knelt and touched me with a flower
I awoke with this: a flower in my hand
β
I know that love is seeing all the infinite in one
In the brotherhood of creatures; who the father, who the son
The vision of your goodness will sustain me through the cold
Take my hand now to remember when you find yourself alone
β
And the spirit fills the darkness of the heavens
It fills the endless yearning of the soul
It lives within a star too far to dream of
It lives within each part and is the whole
β
It’s the fire and the wings that fly us home
Fly us home, fly us home.
~ Words by Joe Henry, music by John Denver

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be.
So he put his arms around you
and whispered "Come to Me".
A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands now rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best

Tributes For Week Commencing 9th January 2012
....(\' " " ()
..(\"( 'o' , )…Have A
..(\")(\")(,,)….Nice Day
For Monday
You were my Angel,
But angels were too few.
God needed Angels,
And so he sent for you.
For Tuesday
Smile of an Angel,
With a twinkle in your eye.
I’ll remember you forever,
Only for now, I’ll say goodbye.
For Wednesday
Laughter came so easy,
To someone with your smile.
I was lucky to have known you,
And loved you for a while.
For Thursday
I borrowed you from heaven,
Now you must return.
Of all the lessons in my life,
This is the hardest one to learn.
For Friday
You would not want our tears,
To see you on your way.
You always said our laughter,
Got you through your day.
So farewell to our loved one,
Now a part of our past.
Your goodness and your teachings,
Forever they will last.
For Saturday
Your dimples and soft skin,
Oh! How we shall miss,
A small cupid mouth,
Poised for a kiss.
The smell of your hair,
Fresh from the bath.
We’d tickle your tummy,
And how you would laugh.
Don’t want to forget,
But have to move on.
Our most wonderful treasure,
Forever is gone.
For Sunday
I think I'll always miss you,
Hope that this will not be so.
Please say that there's an end
To this, that the pain will go.
Tell me that the memories,
Will soon make me smile.
That there won’t be an hour,
When I don't think of you,
The whole while.
Your memory won’t be far from me,
The hurt will fade to an ache.
Until then I hold together the pieces,
Of a heart about to break.

Ring out the old
Cheer in the new,
As I raise my glass
All I think of is you.
Another year passes
More memories to store,
But, None are as sweet
As the ones befor.
A new year begins
No one knows
Just what it brings,
Still..... In my heart
Is for you a longing.
So, Ring out the old
Cheer in the new
I will raise my glass,
And Always want you.

Oh most beautiful star
In the sky tonight
You are most bright
I watch and wait
With hand raised up
Open and waiting
Slowly, oh so slowly
You move through
The night sky
You come closer
As I watch and wait
Hand outstretched
Then ever so softly
You come to rest
In the palm of my hand
You shine like a diamond
Your brilliance
Holds me in awe
I could almost wish
To hold you tight
To keep you safe just for me
In time, your light
Would fade from sight
You would die
To me and to all
So I let you stay
As long as you wish
With palm open
So you may leave at will
You will travel back
To the night sky
To shine brightly
For all to see
I will cherish
The moments you gifted me
With your light
Specially for me
For a little while…
Star So Bright

I felt an angel near today,
Though one I could not see,
I felt an angel, oh, so close,
Sent to comfort me.
I felt an angel’s gentle kiss,
Soft upon my cheek,
And oh, whitout a single word
Of caring it did speak.
I felt an angels loving touch,
Soft upon my heart,
And with that touch, I felt the pain
And hurt within depart.
I felt an angel’s tepid tears,
Fall softly next to mine
And knew that as those tears did dry
A new day would be mine.
I felt an angel’s silken wings
Enfold me with pure love
And felt a strength within me grow
A strength sent from above.
I felt an angel, oh so close
Though one I could not see
I felt an angel near today,
Sent to comfort me.

*β«* Christmas Secrets *β«*
Underneath a winter sky
a distant train sings out the miles.
So I imagine, it may be,
that every mile brings you to me.
A promise made may still come true,
so I am waiting here for you,
if you don’t come, what will I do?
Who shall I tell my secrets to?
*βΎ*
Christmas bells ring out their chimes,
I hear them echo through the miles,
and moonlight shines upon the road
and trembles on the fallen snow
I look into the midnight blue
So many stars I never knew.
If you don’t come, what will I do?
Who shall I tell my secrets to?
*βΎ*
I look into the midnight blue
So many stars I never knew.
If you don’t come, what will I do?
Who shall I tell my secrets to?

~ Winter Snow ~
This is the time of wonder,
The season of the star...
Enraptured by its splendor,
Our thoughts go winging afar
Across the memories and miles,
Like angel melody,
Till every face is wreathed in smiles...
Hearts hold tranquillity.
•*• •*• •*•
And as the snow falls, pure and white
On roof and street and hill,
Joy settles in our hearts tonight,
Glad tidings of goodwill,
On homes and hearth fires, peace descends,
And as the candles glow,
Flames of faith are kindled...
Love shines across the snow.

A CHRISTMAS PRAYER.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
As we draw to the end of another year,
We think of the ones that we hold so dear,
We pause to give thanks for our friends so true,
And ask God to bless them, the old and new.
We hold up each loved one before His Throne
And ask Him to comfort the ones alone,
For those who have lost someone they hold dear,
We ask Him to strengthen and hold them near.
For those who have prospered, with new joys to savour,
We ask God continues to show them His favour.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x
And those with new babies, or newly wed,
We ask Him to smooth out the path ahead,
For those who are ill and can barely stand,
We ask for the touch of His healing hand.
For those with new homes, with new jobs and new stress,
We ask Him to crown all their plans with success.
For those who have dreams and think, 'It's now or never,
We ask Him to bless all that they should endeavour.
For those who are facing an uphill climb,
We ask Him to carry them through this time.
~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~ ~x♥x~
As we come to the start of a brand new year,
We pray for the ones that we hold so dear.
We ask that each one will be soundly blest,
To taste of His goodness and know His best,
For angels to watch o'er them day and night,
For miracles, blessings and sheer delight!
We ask for the gifts that the world can't buy,
A glimpse at the wonders of Heaven on high,
Contentment and joy till the Lord comes again,
This we ask for our friends, in His Name, Amen.
