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 you’ve gone first and I remain,
To walk the road alone,
I live in memory’s garden, Dear,
With happy days we’ve known.
Since you’ve gone first and I remain,
One thing I’d have you do,
Walk slowly down the path of death,
For soon I’ll follow you.
I want to know each step you take,
That I may know the same,
For some day, down that lonely, road,
You’ll hear me call your name.
Your loving wife, Carla

TO MY ANGEL

Sometimes the greatest people on earth
Are the ones who are taken away.
The greatest smiles, the greatest hearts,
We beg and plead to stay.

But sometimes the unexpected will happen,
And sadly there's nothing to do.
Just sit idly by, and wait and cry,
And curse this nightmare come true.

Sometimes encouraging words are exchanged,
And most of the time we shed tears,
And we look on in awe of the greatest strength
Attempting to beat all our fears.

And when you last hugged your greatest hug,
You knew it might be your last.
But you threw out the thought and closed your eyes,
Because it "can't be happening this fast."

When you come to the end of this greatest fight,
You'll see this person who cared,
And loves you for all that you've shared.

It seems sometimes the greatest people on earth
Must endure the most difficult things.
That's because this world has been harsh enough...
And they look better in angel wings.

Last night

FOREVER IS MEANT TO BE

The smile on her face and the tone of his voice
It was clear they had to be together, there was no choice
The first big date, it didn't seem real
There were roses and a card, a car, the whole deal

Her parents loved him; he was practically a son
And like a perfect big brother to the younger ones
He did all that he could to treat her right and boy, did it pay off;
You should have seen her eyes during the calls late at night.

He told her he loved her, forever they would be
If only forever were longer, but he didn't lie you see
Being best friends and lovers, it was pure happiness
From the first day they met, to the very last kiss.

The day the phone call came a part of her died
At first there was the scream and shock, and then she just cried
The viewing and funeral... her final goodbyes,she had won his love, the grandest prize.

For the last time she kissed him and whispered "I love you" in his ear
Praying he could hear her, knowing his spirit was near
Now he watches from above and waits for her patiently
Knowing they are destined, forever is meant to be.

Yesterday evening

I am home in heaven dear ones
Oh, so peaceful and so bright
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed
I am now at peace forever
Safely home in heaven at last

Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade
Oh but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade

And he came himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread
And with Jesus arm to lean on
Could I have one doubt or dread

Then you must not grieve so sorely
For I love you dearly still
Try to look beyond earth's shadows
Pray to trust our Father's will

There is work still waiting for you
So you must not idly stand
Do it now while life remaineth
You shall rest in Jesus' land

When the work is all completed
He will gently call you home
Oh the rapture of that meeting
Oh the joy to see you come

One day at a time I take
Remembering your laugh
Your smile and your love
Every day they say
Time gets easier
But it doesn’t
Nothing can replace you
Because you were so special
Every day brings loving thoughts of you
Your arms were always open
When I needed a hug
Your heart understood when
I needed comforting
Your showed me how to love
All we have to cling to now
Are memories of yesterday

**************.A Little Secret.************


***********************

I need a little guidance
I pray to God above
I’m down and broken hearted
For I’ve lost someone I love.

***********************

My heart is now in pieces
I’m feeling so much pain
Cant stop my tears from falling
I wont ever feel the same.

***********************

I need to see my Angel
If only in my dreams
I just cant make this happen
I’m wishing too hard it seems.

***********************

I don’t know what I’m doing
But I know life must go on
Now you’re no longer with me
I’m weak ,no longer strong.

***********************

If only you could leave me
A little tell tale sign
It would make me really happy
This little secret will be mine.

Love Jude. x x

Yesterday morning

Once upon a sunrise
Life seemed oh so bright
Once upon a sunset
Life changed into night

Life was filled with darkness
That only you could see
The happiness you gave to others
I will take with me

To hear your voice, just one more time
Would mean the world to me
To laugh with you, just one more time
How happy I would be

But I know that we will meet again
And on that special day
We'll come together with wings of gold
And never fall astray
