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

Always watching over us as we go our way,
Never taking their eyes from us a minute of the day,
Guardians who are here to keep us from all harm
Each time we face danger, darkness, or alarm,
Looking out for us through each trial we face,
Sent straight from heaven, by His mercy, love, and grace.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Our Reunion in Heaven Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
We weren't prepared that day,
When God called you away.
So many tears we cried,
Longing to keep you at our side.
How we loved and missed you so,
And weren't ready to let you go,
But it gives us comfort to know,
Within the twinkling of our eyes,
You entered into paradise.
A place with beauty beyond measure,
Eternal happiness and treasure,
Where you have no more pain or tears,
Nor sorrow, worries, and fears.
Although, for now, we are apart,
Your precious memories live in our heart,
Until God calls us each to heaven's door,
Where we'll be reunited, forever more

I would like to thank everyone for all the candles, tributes & pictures that are left on Christopher's website they are all very much appreciated.
Tributes For Week Starting 23rd November
FOR MONDAY
The best and most beautiful
Things in the world cannot
Be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart.
FOR TUESDAY
Gone yet not forgotten,
Although we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me,
Forever in my heart.
FOR WEDNESDAY
A gift for such a little while,
Your loss just seems so wrong,
You should not have left before us,
It’s with loved ones you belong.
FOR THURSDAY
Perhaps they are not
Stars in the sky,
But rather openings
Where our loved ones shine down
To let us know they are happy.
FOR FRIDAY
The Watcher
They always leaned to watch for us
Anxious if we were late,
In winter by the window,
In summer by the gate.
And though we mocked them tenderly
Who had such foolish care,
The long way home would seem more safe,
Because they waited there.
Their thoughts were all so full of us,
They never could forget,
And so I think that where they are
They must be watching yet.
Waiting ‘til we come home to them
Anxious if we are late
Watching from Heaven’s window
Leaning from Heaven’s gate.
FOR SATURDAY
As We Look Back
As we look back over time
We find ourselves wondering .....
Did we remember to thank you enough
For all you have done for us?
For all the times you were by our sides
To help and support us .....
To celebrate our successes
To understand our problems
And accept our defeats?
Or for teaching us by your example,
The value of hard work, good judgement,
Courage and integrity?
We wonder if we ever thanked you
For the sacrifices you made.
To let us have the very best?
And for the simple things
Like laughter, smiles and times we shared?
If we have forgotten to show our
Gratitude enough for all the things you did,
We're thanking you now.
And we are hoping you knew all along,
How much you meant to us.
FOR SUNDAY
To Those Whom I Love and Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that I have had so many years
I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I think you for the love each have shown
But now it is time I traveled on alone
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It is only for a while that we must part
So bless the memoriss in your heart
I will not be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come
Though you can not see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you will hear
All of my love around you soft and clear
Then, when you must come this way alone
I will greet you with a smile and a
"Welcome Home"

G od took you gently by the hand,
O n wings of love to another land,
N estled in the clouds up high,
E ternal live he gave you in the sky,
T he ones left behind have broken hearts,
O h they did not want you to depart,
O ne day you will all meet again,
S aving a place and no more pain,
O n wings of love in Heaven above,
O ur hearts are filled with lots of love,
N ever more then a heartbeat away,
Gone too soon but remembered every single day.
A pair of wings and a sparkling halo is a sign of an angle from up above an angle can pass in to heaven so open your wings and follow on up through the gates of heaven
** Tranquil Thoughts **
Through the gentle breeze and the stormy seas
Your love comes flooding through
A sense of your surroundings
Letting us know that it is you
A heavenly sky with sparkling flames
Becomes visible in the skies
Appearing is your shadows
As you turned to wave goodbye
A mellow whisper in my ear
Thanking all for whats been done
And letting us know that youre ok
As you glide towards the sun
No matter what the outcome
No matter how much we cried
You're letting us know that your still here
It was only the body that died
For your memory holds no boundaries
Everyday it is kept alive
Its gives us warmth and energy
That encourages our days to thrive
Just keep on remembering me
In your shadows I'll walk with you
And guide you through your darkest hours
In everything you say or do
For absence cannot be changed for us
We accept what had to be done
We cannot change the wishes of God
If he wants you to be the one
When you reach the golden promised land
And the gates are open wide
It will be there you'll find great comfort
And your tears you'll try to hide
As you settle in your new found world
You'll send us a glittering prize
It will brighten up the darkest day
And bring a tear to our eyes
Thank you for your presence
And for all the memories too
You left this world something beautiful
It was the fact that we had you.
I would just like to say Thank you for all your candles, tributes & pics you leave for my Angel Doris, All your support is truly appreciated x x x

I know your heart is breaking
And your eyes are filled with tears
But I ask you not to cry for me
Because your smile is so dear
⊱☆⊰ ⊱☆⊰ ⊱☆⊰ ⊱☆⊰ ⊱☆⊰ ⊱☆⊰ ⊱☆⊰ ⊱☆⊰
My time has come to go
To heaven up above
Where there’s no more pain and suffering
It’s peaceful like a dove
⊱☆⊰ ⊱☆⊰ ⊱☆⊰ ⊱☆⊰ ⊱☆⊰ ⊱☆⊰ ⊱☆⊰ ⊱☆⊰
I’ll save a place right next to me
In our castle past the gates
Until its time for you to join me
God and I will wait
