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

I know it’s hard and painful now
And your heart is truly breaking
But I just wanted you to know
As time goes on it will stop aching
I did not leave you there alone
I’m closer now than ever
I’m in your thoughts
Your mind and dreams
I’ll be with you forever

Footsteps of Angels

✻ ❃ ✻ ❃ ✻ ❃ ✻ ❃ ✻ ❃ ✻ ❃

When your heart climbs a mountain,
And your soul finds a sweet peace.
Then you hear footsteps of angels,
You're heart beat is increased.

When Your eyes see what you have been,
And changes now and then.
You have heard footsteps of angels,
As you begin to grin.

Your heart melts at the site of a blind child,
Bending down, giving him a hand.
You feel a lift from heaven,
And join in with their band.

When the sea calls your name,
As you stare out over it's shore.
Admiring it's beauty and knowing what it is for,
It is really angels at your heart's outside door.

When life you give for all you care,
And time for you is late.
Just listen for angels footsteps,
They will carry you to heaven's gate.

⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
If we could only speak to you,
And hold your loving hand,
No matter what we said or did,
We know you'd understand.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
Memory is a lovely lane,
Where hearts are ever true,
A lane we so often travel down,
Because it leads to you.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
Sadly missed along life's way,
Quietly remembered every day,
No longer in our lives to share,
But in our hearts you're always there.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰
Your presence we miss,
Your memory we treasure,
Loving you always,
Forgetting you never.
⊱♥⊰~⊱♥⊰

I see beyond my vision
I hear beyond my range
I feel beyond my senses
And it doesn't seem so strange.

There's a language of enchantment
We all should recognize
Including naming angels
We can't see before our eyes.

They hover all around us
While guiding.... teaching.... keeping
Offer strength when we are weakest
And sympathy while weeping.

I may never see an angel
But I know that they exist
For, at just the time I've needed one
I've felt an angel's kiss!

Until We Meet Again by Alan G

People try to help me,
Everyone is so kind,
But no matter what they say to me,
I always seem to find,

They look at me with sympathy,
In a caring sort of way,
I thank them and attempt to smile,
As I walk away,

The tears start welling up again,
Every time it’s the same,
I simply fall to pieces,
At the mention of your name.

I know that your in heaven now,
And my heart is filled with pain,
But the angels will take care of you,
Until we meet again
