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

sent by halina and her angels x


Guardian Angel
At times when I am feeling sad
and think that no one cares,
I feel the vibrations of your wings
and know that you are here.
I then feel your tender touch
as you enfold me with His Love.
A yearning prayer has come to earth,
sent down from Father above.

I can never deny your presence.
You fill my heart with song.
All sad thoughts simply disappear,
knowing that I am not alone.

You loan me strength when I give out.
And you raise my courage up.
I can face my troubles head-on
Mortal thanks is not enough.

I will live each day I have
in humbleness and in prayer.
With heartfelt words I'll write
and with all others, share.

Karyn Aldridge (Mate) Yesterday morning

My broken heart..
Will never mend
So lots of kisses..
I shall send
We think of you..
In a better place
With beautiful wings..
And a smile on your face

Every day is a struggle you see
Trying to cope..
So please help me

How do I cope?
I do not know
My heart is broken..
So that goes to show

I can't except you are gone
I need you here..
Please keep me strong
Stay by my side..
Show me the way
Help me to cope every day

I love and miss you so much..
And I always will
Since you have been gone..
Time has stood still

I think of you in heaven..
With Gods Angels up above
Please my precious Angel..
Watch over me with love

Carol O'Brien (GTS Friend) Thursday evening

♥ GOODNIGHT AND GOD BLESS.♥

As I look at the moon
I wish you goodnight
The dearest angel
So special and loved.

You are the one God chose to take
You are the one we could not wake
I know in heaven is now where you sleep.

So please God in heaven
God up above
Please protect this angel
That we love.

I must say good night
I blow to you a kiss
I wish you goodnight
The angel that we miss.

A Silent Tear By Gaynor Llewellyn
♥ ︽♥ ︽♥ ︽♥ ︽♥ ︽♥ ︽♥ ︽♥ ︽♥ ︽♥

Just close your eyes and you will see
All the memories that you have of me
Just sit and relax and you will find
I'm really still there inside your mind
Don’t cry for me now I'm gone
For I am in the land of song
There is no pain, there is no fear
So dry away that silent tear
Don’t think of me in the dark and cold
For here I am, no longer old
I'm in that place that’s filled with love
Known to you all, as "UP ABOVE"

♥ ︽♥ ︽♥ ︽♥ ︽♥ ︽♥ ︽♥ ︽♥ ︽♥ ︽♥

Leza Angel Carolines Mum Thursday afternoon

I'm missing you so much..
My heart is broke in two
I feel all alone and lonely..
So what am I to do?

I think of you every second..
And every minute of the day
I've never been the same..
Since the day you passed away

I know you are in my memory..
And I will remember you with love
But please come home my Angel..
My Angel up above

You shine bright first thing..
In the morning
You shine bright..
Last thing at night
'Oh why did God take you first..?
'Cos that was just not right

You should be here with your family..
Who love you very much
So please my precious Angel..
Always stay in touch

TRIBUTE FOR THURSDAY 5.11.09
..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..

The size of sadness
Can you measure our pain?
It reaches the stars and back again
Can you count our tears?
They are as many as winter rain
Can you weigh our emptiness?
The world and more would come to less
With no hope of sun tomorrow
That's how we see our sorrow
Add all together -The size of sadness


..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..

TRIBUTE FOR FRIDAY 6.11.09.

..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..

Having you not with me
Hurts more and more each day
Although I feel a closeness
In a very special way
Even as I go to sleep
Every thought is of you
And I never thought i'd miss you
In quite the way I do
So i'm hoping that these words
May some how let you know
That you're in my heart forever
And i'll always love you so
The one and only thing
That helps me with the pain
Is dreaming of the time
When I will see you once again...

..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..
TRIBUTE FOR SATURDAY 07.1109
..?..*• ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**•.. ? .•**..?..
My love is with you
Oh What can I say?
My heart is empty without you each and every day.
The Angel wings you wear must be so grand,
if only I could reach out and touch your hand,
maybe then we could say goodbye,
which would help dry the tears that I cry
Now I know that’s impossible for us to do,
so let’s make a deal just you and me.
When I look to the stars at night,
you look for me with all your might,
when you see me just shine real bright,
together we can send our love
and say Good Night.

I would like to wish you all a very good weekend and God Bless all our Angels and all our BRAVE HERO'S who have Lost Their Lives.
With love as always Linda.xxx
